Like some R's and oats

ROLLED

Think of how certain grains or letters might be flattened or processed.

The clue hints at the word "rolled" by referencing two things that can be described this way: the letter "R" (which can be "rolled" in pronunciation, like in Spanish) and oats (which are often rolled to make oatmeal). The wordplay connects both meanings to lead to the answer "ROLLED." It’s a clever way to tie together two different interpretations of the same word.
