I have a bag of pinhead oats in the freezer and was wondering if
anyone had made oatmeal cookies using them, or used 'em as a filler
for meatloaf, or made some other traditional "oatmeal" food using
them.

They take so long to cook properly that I figured they might not work
as well in cookies but... anyone tried it? How were they?

I love pinhead oats; even got elder daughter to like them. She's the
non-adventurous-eater type, which is what makes it amazing.

I've used them in bread machine bread recipes that call for rolled oats
-- they work fine. You don't need to cook them first; the long, slow
"steaming" in the ABM is all it takes.

I've used them in meatloaf. It works fine.

Toast them and use them on a salad. Same principle as
toassing toasted sesame seeds on the salad for flavoring.
I think oats toast better than perl barley.

An old friend liked to soak them in scotch whiskey for a few
weeks. I tried it and thought it was nasty but some other
friends loved it. The reactions to it seemed to track tastes
in whiskey - I like bourbon okay but I think most scotches
are nasty.
