Gluten-Free Oatmeal Cookies Recipe
You are probably thinking that cookie season is over now that the holidays have passed. Cookie season never really passes for one, and two – we have several other foodie holidays coming up like Valentines Day and Easter.
Gluten-Free Oatmeal Cookies aren’t attached to a holiday, which makes them a year-round cookie. And a favorite of mine. Especially this gluten-free oatmeal cookie recipe.
Gluten Free Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies
We like to add chocolate chips to make gluten free oatmeal chocolate chip cookies, but you don’t have to. Simply add the chocolate chips when you add the oatmeal to these gluten free oatmeal cookies, and stir them in.
Oatmeal used in Oatmeal Cookies
Purity protocol oats can vary but really the goal is to eliminate contamination of oats. Purity protocol means they are grown with care not to contaminate the crops AND they are processed in a dedicated facility.
While oats themselves are naturally gluten-free, if processed in a facility that processes other gluten containing grains, they can become contaminated. I’m not saying that they do. I’m saying the CAN.

I love oatmeal chocolate chip cookies! I’m excited to try them with the cinnamon addition. Thanks for sharing, I found you on the Allergy Free Thursdays link party.
chrystal
Thank you for letting me know 🙂 These cookies are pretty amazing!
Diana
Will this work with a Gluten free all purpose mix or do you have to use Ryze?
chrystal
Hi Diana,
For this recipe, you can use another all purpose blend. The texture may be a little different, but still delish!

These cookies were really good! Definitely filled the homemade chocolate chip cookies hole in my life since eliminating wheat from my diet last summer! I’m not a big fan of cinnamon and chocolate together so I decreased the cinnamon to 1/4 tsp but think I’ll leave it out altogether next time. I also might use a little less of the whole oats. And I added chopped pecans because I love nuts in my chocolate chip cookies! But these were really good, I’ll definitely be making another batch soon! Thanks!

Oh. My. Word. These are phenomenal! Thanks so much for your delicious recipes…. I have never tried one that I didn’t like in the past 2 and a half years since I had to go gluten free. If I need a recipe, I always check your site first to see if you have what I need because I know they are tried and tested.

HI Karen,
Thank you so much for the lovely comment. I am so glad you like these cookies.
All my best,

These cookies tasted delicious but for some reason completely spread out in the pan when I baked them! I followed the recipe to a T, although perhaps the butter and egg were still a little chilly. Any thoughts as to where I may have gone wrong?
Thanks!
chrystal
Hi Anne,
So sorry to hear that happened. What flour blend did you use? Sometimes if you use certain flours, the oil doesn’t coat the flour the same and it can spread.

I made these cookies today. I am trying to cut back on sugar so I substituted the white sugar for Stevia and used the regular amount of brown sugar. They turned out wonderful, My Husband loves them 🙂
Thank you so much

Are these supposed to be crunchy or chewy? I made them and it took longer to bake but wow delish!
chrystal
They should be a little crunchy on the edges and chewy in the middle.

This recipe worked perfectly for me! I didn’t have any xanthan gum and the four I used didn’t have any either, so I added an egg white to substitute, plus a teaspoon of baking powder. The cookies are delicious. I will definitely be making them again!
chrystal
I am so glad you loved these cookies. Thank you for sharing what you used.

Love! Love! Love this recipe! I used dry cherries and cashews in mine. I doubled the batch and added chocolate chips to half of them. The whole family was happy. Thanks!
chrystal
I love the addition of dried cherries. I’m so glad you like them. Thank you for letting me know.

Thank you so much!! I have made these twice (modified to be vegan and I looked a bit longer) and love it! I am so grateful for you.

Would love to see an oat-free oatmeal-type cookie. Used to make my own but also loved the chewy Archway ones. (We are also sensitive to avenin, the oat gluten.). Any pointers?
chrystal
Have you made a chocolate chip cookie, but with shredded coconut? You can also use my flour mix that has millet, and add shredded coconut an raisins.

Jane Seals
Hi, these look great! Can I substitute almond or oat flour? Thanks, Jane
chrystal
Hi Jane,
I haven’t personally subbed oat flour but it might work. Almond flour doesn’t work in this recipe but you can make my paleo chocolate chip cookies, they use almond flour.
Best,
Chrystal
