Step #4 in the recipe directions refers to making butter with ingredients not listed in the ingredient list. To what do these directions refer?

I may've added the proportions wrong, but mine took half an hour to bake!
didn't have old fashioned oats so subbed some irish steel cut,
used ~1/4 cup sugar, coconut oil for butter, added chia seeds, and a little greek yogurt for moisture. topped off with some extra shredded coconut and it came out pretty well! the steel cut outs give it a nice texture

when you say oatmeal in the recipe, you mean oats or you make oatmeal for the occasion.
