4. Place butter in a large bowl. Beat with an electric mixer set at high speed until creamy. Add granulated sugar and brown sugar gradually, beating constantly until well blended. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla extract.
5. Gradually add flour mixture to creamed mixture and beat until smooth. Stir in oats mixture. Spoon batter into prepared pan. Bake until a toothpick inserted in center of loaf comes out clean, about 1 hour.
