In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, shredded coconut, 3/4 cup brown sugar, 1/2 tsp Ceylon cinnamon, and salt. Stir until evenly mixed. Scatter the cold butter cubes over the dry mixture and work them in with a pastry cutter or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse, clumpy crumbs with some pea-sized pieces of butter remaining. Drizzle in 1 tsp vanilla extract and toss to distribute.
