Beat the butter with both sugars in the large bowl of an electric mixer until smooth. Beat in the egg and vanilla. 4. Combine the processed oats with the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Slowly add to the butter mixture. Then stir in the remaining 1/4 cup oats, the chocolates, and the almonds. 5.
