Haven't done this substitution myself, but am guessing you want to maintain GF but don't have or can't digest oat flour.
However, almond flour absorbs much less water/liquid than oat flour, so I fear it would disturb the balance of moisture in the recipe or require complicated adjustments. Also, more nuts to a recipe which already has nuts? Maybe another disturbance of the flavor or moisture balance.
Instead, have a look at this article which recommends about half dozen replacements for oat flour and see if there's one you like or are willing to use...rice, tapioca, buckwheat, etc.
