Place racks in upper and lower thirds of oven. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.

Whisk together flour, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt in medium bowl. With electric mixer on medium-high speed, beat butter and brown sugar in large bowl until light and fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla. Reduce mixer speed to low. Add flour mixture and beat just until blended. Stir in oats, cherries, almonds, and wheat germ.
