1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
2. In a large bowl, sift together the flour, cinnamon, salt, baking soda, and whole-wheat flour. Stir in the oats.
3. Cream together the butter with the sugars until light in color. Add the egg and vanilla. Mix until incorporated. Add the flour mixture and mix just until incorporated. Fold in the granola.
