Glutenous rice like sushi rice is sticky when cooked and cooled because it has a high amount of resistant starch. It gets formed when the rice is cooked in water and it acts like a soluble fiber.

Regular oatmeal has equal amounts of soluble and insoluble fiber. However, it too has a considerable amount of resistant starch which gives it a sticky consistency when cooked. It too acts like a soluble fiber. So overall regular oatmeal contains more soluble than insoluble fiber.

Be careful of instant oatmeal. Sometimes they add more soluble fiber like inulin which is a rapidly fermenting fiber that can cause gas and bloating.

Pure stevia powder can be used safely as a sweetener. I have not cooked/baked with it. You might ask a question about using stevia on the recipe board.

One caution about baking with oatmeal. Unless the oatmeal is cooked in water before it is used in baking the resulting baked goood may be difficult for some individuals to handle. The resistant starch is not as readily formed as it is when cooked in water. While I can eat oatmeal every morning I cannot eat oatmeal cookies anytime
