Irish Pin Oats

---

A hearty, healthy way to get your oatmeal. has a consistency similar to brown rice. Pinhead oats can usually be found in the flour section of your grocery. I usually start the recipe while i am making coffee, and then let it simmer while i shower and get ready for work. by the time i am done with that, i have a nice hot, hearty breakfast waiting for me.
