These were really good-I used my Irish quick oats that I adore, and instead of golden raisins used regular because i was out. I also substituted walnuts for the almonds. They were really good-I made them small, and they went fast!

I was looking for a new use for my McCann's Irish oatmeal and tried this recipe. It turned out really great - so tasty and surprisingly filling! I had to make some tweaks, which is not something I usually do (I'm a nervous cooker). I was out of eggs so per the interwebs I used 1 Tbl Cornstarch and 2 Tbls water to equal 1 egg. I also realized I did not have the quick cooking McCann's, so I did a mixture of partially cooked oats and some instant regular oatmeal that I had on hand. I also decided to try the cinnamon mentioned in the description by sprinkling it on top before they went in the oven. It smelled SO GOOD when the cooked. They were a big crumbly in the end - but that actually gave them a unique charm and the flavor and texture were both just perfect. Thanks so much! These were our Christmas morning breakfast!
