I'm pretty sure I've mentioned I like oatmeal. And I like cinnamon. So Oatmeal Churros sounded like something I wanted to try.
I halved the recipe and made two instead of four.
Bring water to boil in medium pot. Add oats to boiling water and reduce heat to medium-low. Cook oats for about 5 minutes. In last minute of cooking, add sugar, cinnamon, vanilla and egg. I used old-fashioned oats because I don't have Coach's Oats and don't have anywhere nearby to purchase them.
Spoon oats into lightly greased ramekin dishes. Sprinkle top of oats with cinnamon and sugar to coat the tops. Put ramekins in casserole dish and fill with enough water to coat the bottom.
Put the oats under the broiler for about 6 minutes or until bubbling and a little darker than golden brown.
1/2 c Coach's Oats (I used regular old-fashioned oats)
1.5 c water
1 t vanilla
1 T sugar (I used organic sugar)
1 t cinnamon
1 egg (beaten)
Bring water to boil in medium pot. Add oats to boiling water and reduce heat to medium-low. Cook oats for about 5 minutes. In last minute of cooking, add sugar, cinnamon, vanilla and eggs. (Oatmeal will be thick like a custard)

Review:
It was ok. I found it to be very "eggy". I'm willing to try it again (and maybe find some Coach's Oats). If I do, I'd definitely cut the amount of egg (1 in the full recipe instead of 2). And if I used old-fashioned oats, I would cut the water a bit. For the full recipe, 2 cups is probably sufficient, instead of 3.
I'm guessing I didn't have the ramekins close enough to the broiler, because mine never got crispy.
