My mother, sister and I have all made this many times with perfect results. I originally saw the recipe in the magazine. These rolls are perfect for a holiday meal. A definite keeper in our family.

These were just ok. They seemed very dense, and the flavor was different but we didn't care for it. This is the first time I've had to throw leftover dinner rolls away because no one wanted to eat them. Sorry but I don't think these are worth the effort.

I had to add about 2 more cups of flour to get the right texture. I do not have a bread machine so I made them the conventional way. They turned out beautifully. Nice and light and flavorful. Good recipe and I will use it again with the additional 2 cups if flour

This is an excellent dinner roll recipe that I have been making for years now and the whole family loves them. The only change I've made is to use milk instead of water. I believe it makes the bread more dense. Sesame seeds on top also makes it great.

Not sure what the first reviewer was talking about - yes the dough for these rolls is a little sticky - but easily manageable! AND - they are DELICIOUS. Soft, but with a full texture - I get raves every single time I make them! They make great rolls - absolutely great! Thanks for the recipe.

I thought these were pretty good. They turned out nice and soft, and as another reviewer mentioned, they have more texture than regular rolls. Good for sandwiches. I did find the dough a bit tough to work with. I had to add 2 extra cups of flour to get it to be dough in the first place. Then after it rose, it was all sticky again! Nonetheless, a great dinner bun. We're eating them with nothing on them!

Excellent Hot, Excellent Cold, Excellent, Excellent 3 Days Old!!!! These rolls are without a doubt, by far, the best I have ever eaten - they just don't get any better than this! Don't be fooled by the title of this recipe. They don't taste like oatmeal at all; they are just soft and tender. I love them with honey butter, salted butter, hot ham and cheese, jam, chicken salad, or just plain without anything on them at all. The subtle sweetness of this soft, easy to work with dough serves as a fabulous base for cinnamon rolls too. I highly recommended you try them - you won't be disappointed!

The amount of flour needed is greatly underestimated. It is impossible to knead these rolls with as much as two additional cups of flour. I am concerned that the amount of shortning, sugar and salt will not make a tasty roll!

What a great recipe, easy to make and they come out soft and fluffy. I did add 1/2C more flour to recipe, as I live in a high altitude area. My family really enjoyed them. Thanks!!

This recipe is really great, and I did everything exactly like the instructions say. HOWEVER, it is really important to cool your oatmeal to lukewarm before adding it to your proofed yeast. If you add something that is too hot to the yeast, it could kill some of the yeast resulting in rolls that won't rise!

Excellent, soft, dinner roll. The oatmeal gives it extra flavor and a little extra texture. The dough is very soft as well as the roll. A sure hit with my son who was home visiting for the week.
