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. Incidentally this happened more when I forgot to add cinnamon, which explains [1]. This was even with the fancier (read: double price half volume) steel cut or rolled varieties.

Oats are good, but as with most things not necessarily for everyone.

Also it's important to remember that different foods affect different individals' insulin responses very differently. Seems to be linked to gut microbiome and potentially genetics. The food that's better for the average adult might be worse for you.
