🥣 Equipment
This recipe uses the following equipment (affiliate links):
🧾 Ingredients
- Rolled oats uncooked (2 cups). Be sure to use rolled uncooked oats (also known as old fashioned oats). Do not use steel cut or quick oats.

- Grape jelly (½ cup). You can substitute your favorite jelly or jam here.
