Oatmeal does not turn into starch, because it is already mostly starch. In a serving of 1/2 cup of dry old-fashioned oats, 22 g of the 27 g of total carbohydrates are starches. Starches correspond to a chain of glucose, or sugar, linked together.
Foods that are considered starchy include grains, legumes and starchy vegetables such as potatoes, corn, peas, winter squash and sweet potatoes. These foods often contain at least a small amount of sugar and fiber as well as starch.
