Add in one egg and mix on medium-high for 2-3 minutes until pale and fluffy.
In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt until mixed through.
Add flour mixture, milk and vanilla into the creamed butter mixture and mix until flour is half way mixed through.
Add in the chocolate, oats and pretzels and mix until there are no dry flour spots.
