I am going to do a lot of oatmeal recipes considering how my mom bought a plethora of instant oatmeal.... why, I don't know considering how I only make 1/4 cup of oats every morning for breakfast.... with the amount of Quaker Oats she bought in bulk, its going to take me a year! Hence, lots of oatmeal related recipes!
They are cakey and crumbly all at the same time, dense, but not too dense. I think I need to fiddle with the recipe just a bit more, but currently how they stand, my dad enjoys them quite a bit. I added a touch of nutmeg which adds a nice spicy delightful flavor to them.

1/2 c. butter (soften)
1/2 c. brown sugar, lightly packed
1/2 c. granulated white sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract

1/2 c. oat flour (I just took the oatmeal and food processed it until fine)
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp kosher salt
1 1/2 c instant oatmeal
3.4 oz dark chocolate, chopped (one half of a large Hershey Bar) 0r 3/4 c. chocolate chips
3/4 c. chopped walnuts
