Old Fashion Oat Rolls

Soft, fluffy with a hint of sweet. These wonderful dinner rolls have a good dose of heart healthy oats and are wonderful for any occasion. I made them once for Thanksgiving and I am now forever obligated to, "bring the rolls." I have to make a double batch not because the family is so large, but because they go so fast.
