Morphology
The noun phrase is directly compositional: 'rolled' describes a processing action applied to 'oats', so a learner can infer these are oats that have been rolled/flattened into flakes. This kitchen/food sense is a straightforward modifier-noun combination and is cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows both words will very likely grasp the meaning.
Etymology
Rolled oats comes from the way whole oats are steamed and pressed flat into thin flakes. The word rolled gives the picture of oats being flattened, so the name means oats made this way for 'porridge' and baking.
