If I could give this recipe 20 stars I would! It is absolutely amazing! It's moist and the glaze is perfect! So easy to make. I broiled mine on high for the full 3 minutes and it came out great. If you haven't tried this recipe, it is a must...A keeper for sure!

Wonderful. My husband really liked these. All I had on hand at the time were steel cut oats and they are not instant. However, I still followed the directions in the recipe, save a couple more minutes of soaking in the hot water. They still came out delicious.

Don't change a thing!! Being from the south, I had never even heard of this cake before! A friend from the midwest requested it, and it was a huge hit!! Definitely suggest sticking with the broiling - it caramelized everything perfectly! Thanks for the recipe.

Made this for the Oaxaca (Mexico) women's Christmas brunch and turned out great in spite of some obligatory adjustments: I used pure cane sugar vs. brown sugar and substituted chopped fiber bars (nut flavored) for the nuts called for. I'm still being asked for the recipe.

This is wonderful and moist! The second time I made it, I used pecans instead of walnuts. We enjoyed it even more! As a side note, it freezes well.

i accidently overbaked these because i left my oven at 400 but knew i had to get them out as soon as i smelled the flavor. i made exactly 22 cupcakes with these (pour water over the 2 empty slots) and even though i overbaked them, they were fantastically moist. i will be making again! this time i'll remember to bake them at 350 for 25-30 mins

I have used this recipe for years...don't like the topping though but it's great plain. I like to reduce the sugar to 3/4 c. each and add a banana on occasion.

In my continuing search for an oatmeal cake "better than grandma made" I found this one. Rather than messing with broiling the topping, just combine the topping ingredients and spoon it randomly on top of the uncooked cake batter. Bake at 325 for 40-50 minutes. Delicious and no chance of broiling accidents and topping cleanup messes.

Wow, this turned out good. It took a lot longer to bake than the recipe said (mine took about 50 minutes), but maybe that was because I didn't do the glaze on top with the broiler. I also forgot to add the cinnamon, and maybe that would've added a bit more zing to the flavor, but I still thought the recipe was great. Just what I needed, having very little ingredients in the house as I did.

I halved the recipe and followed the directions exactly, and I must say this is absolutely delicious! So moist! It is very sweet, and exactly the kind of cake I was looking for. I'm a chocoholic, and my husband needs a break from all the chocolate once in a while, so this will be a part of my permanent rotation.

I've tried dozens of oatmeal cake and bar recipes, trying to duplicate the one I loved as a kid. I'm done, this is it! I have printed a copy of the recipe to keep in my purse because so many people ask for it.

At first I thought the recipe was too sweet, but the next day I had another slice and grew to love it so much! Very tasty, I will use this again.

Great cake! A little too sweet for my family, and it tasted quite...boring. But I'm sure it will go well with some icecream or coffee. The sad thing was I accidentally baked the cake at 400F for 10 minutes that the top crust got burnt. I had to cut it out. Also, I havent tried the topping yet. I will definitely save this recipe tho. Thank you!

Yummy.... especially the next day! Excellent morning snack with coffee. My kids had some after dinner with ice cream. Only needed to bake for 30 minutes, so watch your time. Only 2 minutes under the broiler. Thanks for the yummy recipe. This will be a favorite.
