* Rogers Porridge Oats are a mix of oats, oat bran, wheat bran and flaxseed.  I purchase this to use in any baking that requires oats (I've also used it in meatloaf).  I found them at Walmart, but haven't seen them anywhere else.

You may also add nuts (such as pecans) to the mix or as a topping mixed with brown sugar for added fibre.  My kids don't like nuts, so I didn't add any.
