Yes, you can. As long as they're not Ready Brek type oats, and the oats you're using are of a reasonable size.
Though raw oats are safe to eat, it's recommended to soak them in water, juice, milk, or a nondairy milk alternative to avoid some unwanted side effects.
Milk=Creamy Goodness
The key to getting a creamy, not-gluey bowl of oatmeal is using enough water. Notice we said water—cooking oatmeal in milk tends to make a stickier, thicker oatmeal. Follow the directions on the canister using H2O, then add a splash of milk or almond milk in the bowl.

The key to cooking a creamy, delicious porridge is the correct ratio of milk to water. Too much milk will make your oatmeal porridge stickier and thicker. No milk at all and your porridge will lack that creamy taste. Of course, you don't have to use milk at all if you don't want to.
Whichever porridge you choose, make it with low-fat milk or water to keep the calories down and minimise saturated fat, especially if you are trying to lower your cholesterol levels. Don't add salt, as an excess intake can raise your blood pressure over time, and avoid adding sugar, syrup or honey.

1 Empty the dry ingredients into a mug, add boiling water until the oats are covered (100ml) and stir straight away. Keep stirring until you have a smooth paste (20 seconds). 2 Leave to stand for 1 minute and stir again. 3 Add more water (50ml), until you have the perfect consistency for you.
As the comments above suggest, adding salt is a shibboleth, a test for Scottishness or identification with Scotland in the vast diaspora of Scots. And it makes practical sense if one is cooking a porridge to keep cold for the next day or the rest of the week (more on that later).
But if you want to get technical, Oat Groats remain the healthiest because they're the purest form of the whole oat you can eat. They're the least processed and contain the most nutrition.
An important thing so many people forget is salt. It adds depth to the porridge and will bring out the sweetness of any toppings – so add a pinch of the stuff as it's coming to the boil and mix it all around.
