this looks so delicious! What can I do if I want to use oats instead of breadcrumbs? Should I substitute for the same amount or less?

I think you should use less amount of oats. I'm not sure but maybe they can be a little tough in meatballs when chewing. But you'll never know without trying:)
Good luck!
