If the recipe says rolled oats, can I use porridge oats?

[LostMarbles99]

I'm making Nigella breakfast bars but I'm out of rolled oats. Can I use porridge oats instead?

I'm not really sure of the difference!

Thank you

Aren't they the same thing?

Yes, you can. As long as they're not Ready Brek type oats, and the oats you're using are of a reasonable size.

Thank you so much!

I do! And its normally the tesco value ones aswell.

I always use porridge oats. (not instant).

I love Nigella's breakfast bar recipe. I love to make it with apricots and chopped almonds and it's like a tastier version of those expensive eat natural bars. I've also used the reduced fat condensed milk and it works just as well.

I think I'll have to make some more.

They turned out really well and I also use the reduced fat condensed milk!

Thanks
