What is your favourite recipe using oatmeal?!


Question: What is your favourite recipe using oatmeal!?
I love oatmeal, and I just recently found out how healthy it is, (what a bonus!) I don't know of many ways to cook with it other than traditional porridge and oatmeal cookies!. I'd like to know what your favourite recipes are that use oatmeal!
I would prefer if they were low-fat, but any recipes at all would be appreciated!
Thanks a lot!Www@FoodAQ@Com
