Description
Pinhead oats are coarsely diced whole oats (also known as steel cut). They can be enjoyed for breakfast or can be added to soups and stews for extra fibre and texture.
Some people with coeliac disease/gluten intolerance also find the purest of oats can affect them. If you are unsure whether oats effect your diet, please check first with a doctor or nutritionist.
Boil oats in water at a medium heat for between 10 - 20 minutes (depending on how soft you like your oats). If you prefer oats cooked in milk, its best to start the cooking process in water first and then finish these off in milk - this is to avoid the milk catching on the bottom of the pan. Try sweetening using maple syrup or fruit.
