Anecdotally (to add to EForEndeavour's post) I can disagree with this. I've had plain oats with non-sugar additives (eg pure cocoa powder, seeds) and it definitely causes a spike, and my heart rate goes through the roof.

Oats are good, but as with most things not necessarily for everyone. [1] https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6425402/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6425402/
