According to the Kitchen, 70% of households in the US have oats in their pantry. I was surprised the number was so high! But I wouldn't be surprised if 70%+ of HBers had oats in their pantry. 
We currently have rolled oats and steel cut oats.
What about you?

@mrs. bird: LOL then why do you have them?
@mrs scrapbook: would love a granola bar recipe! I use them in muffins, waffles and pancakes in lieu of flour. My daughter loves carbs so it's a win win.

I always have a big container on hand. I like to make oatmeal chocolate chip cookies, and now that LO is here I make a morning oatmeal with smashed banana and chopped prunes for us both.

@regberadaisy: I use them in recipes, but I would never just eat a bowl. I have texture issues

I currently have 3 types - reg steel cut, gf steel cut, and gf rolled oats.
@Shutterbug: They are gluten free but at high risk of contamination in the field and in factories. Buying gluten free oats guarantees that the oats are not contaminated (dedicated fields and facilities).

@regberadaisy: I adapted mine from this recipe: http://www.averiecooks.com/2012/10/peanut-butter-chocolate-chip-granola-bars.html
I follow all of her directions but with the ingredients below and I cut my bars into 18 bars (around 130 calories each) instead of 10 bars.
2/3 cup honey
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp vanilla
2 cups rolled oats, pulsed in the food processor a few times
2 cups Rice Krispies
1/2 cup peanuts
1/2 cup cheerios

@mrs. bird: LOL haha my DH as well. He can tolerate steel cut oats so I make him have a small bowl like once every two weeks.
@mrs scrapbook: thank you! My daughter loves Kind Granola bars but they get pricey. This looks perfect. How long do they keep for and do they freeze well?
Nm just read the recipe. I like her sub suggestions because I don't have rice krispie but do have coconut flakes, Chia & flax seeds. I think I might do this after the kids go to sleep tonight!

Cheap, healthy and delicious, what's not to love? We usually eat steel cut but I like rolled for baking.

Yup, DH likes it when he is on a diet and I like it for overnight oatmeal.

@Mrs. Sunshine: basically just steel cut oats but some people think Irish oats are the best because of the soil or climate I guess? McCann's is the big brand. They're extra chewy. They come in a pretty tin too

Yup! A bug thing of rolled oats and individual packs of instant oats with flax. I have that for breakfast almost every day.

I have steel cut, and instant. My girls will only eat eggs or instant oatmeal every single day. I always forget to make myself steel cut oats, I'm
not a big breakfast eater.

Steel cut, old-fashioned, quick, and Irish (McCann's) quick steel cut. I was hoping to have Chai Oatmeal, a recipe my DH makes this weekend but I think I'll have to wait till next weekend for that treat.

Always! Not my thing at all, but the boys love them and eat them every weekend.

Yup. Always have McCanns Irish and I believe there are some 5 minute oats that I use in recipes.
