Hi,needing a bit of help here please.i was cleaning out a cupboard not used too much when I came across 3 of the massive bags of oats. date is for this month.......................what do I do with them. I don't mind baking with them,we don't like flapjacks too much,i was thinking a cookie recipe? but will need more inspiration than that.also if I mix with breadcrumbs I could coat chicken etc, so I can make it and freeze bags , what else ???? help me out here please.....and thank youxxx

My Mum makes these and they're lovely. We also mix oats in crumble toppings and on Macaroni cheese.

Porridge for breakfast?

Granola! Daughter has just made an oven tray full, delicious - and would be quite long lasting except it will get eaten before it has the chance.

Oatmeal & raisin (or choc chip) cookies! Make them big so they're chewy in the middle!

I wouldn't worry about using them quickly, they're not suddenly going to turn into green slime.

If you have baths, put a cup of oats in an old sock tied up or in a muslin and hold under the hot tap for a lovely moisturising bath

These are the best things I have ever made from oats! The recipe was found by Chalky on the OS Knit Your Square thread, after she had tried the originals in a branch of Ikea: http://www.cocooks.com/2013/02/swedish-oat-cookies-like-those-from-ikea/ They are very very moreish!

Mix them with flavoured yoghurt and leave overnight for a yummy pudding.

You can also make magic pancakes with them

These are especially yummy when made with a lemon yoghurt
