I looked into the find command and came up with find . -maxdepth 1 -perm 521 > test.txt to output the permissions to a text file, but is it possible to do it just using, for example, simple commands like ls? As far as I know, ls can't seem to reference permissions specifically so I can't give it a certain permission set to look for.
Is there any other straightforward method I may be overlooking?

Perhaps, you are searching something like:
ls -l | grep '^.r-x-w-r--'
IMHO, there is no tool better than find to search files. It is simple, straightforward and very powerful. Using find ... -exec ... or find ... -print0 | xargs -0 ..., you can easily manipulate, in many ways, files you find. I do not think that you can find any better general purpose tool.

awk '/^521/ {print $2}' <(stat -c "%a %n" *) > test.txt
You need to set the dotglob option if hidden files should be included in the expansion of *.
