Today is National Oatmeal Cookie Day. Luckily, there are so many great gluten-free oatmeal cookie recipes! Here are just a few of the gluten-free oatmeal cookie recipes shared on gfe.
UPDATE: On April 4, 2023, Gluten-Free Watchdog issued a new statement, Gluten-Free Watchdog Cannot Recommend Any Brand of Gluten-Free Oats. Read the full statement here. This statement was followed by details on recent testing results of gluten-free products that contain oats., which showed 30% of the labeled gluten-free oat products tested contained quantifiable gluten.

I’m not eating any oats and I urge all of my readers who eat gluten free for medical reasons to also abstain.

I love oatmeal baked goodies and clicked over to see the amazingness. Can’t believe you included my recipe, thanks Shirley! Already love your GF oat cookies.
Shirley says
Hey Alisa–I just realized that one didn’t come up in the search or I missed it somehow … Megan’s Oatmeal Breakfast Bars. Must add that one, too! Anyway, cookies … cookie bars … cookie-topped apple crisp. They all qualify to me! 😉 Thanks so much for the wonderful feedback on my flourless oatmeal cookies, dear! 🙂

Rosemary says
Is there anything I could use instead of oats as I can’t eat them even GF ones.
Shirley says
Hi Rosemary–Welcome! 🙂 Have you tried quinoa flakes? They often work as a substitute for oats. They have a little stronger flavor, but I’ve subbed them for oats a number of times and been pleased with the results. You might give them a try and see what you think. You could try them in a recipe that normally uses oats that you’re familiar with first to see if enjoy them. My Almond Chocolate Double Coconut No-Bake Cookies would be a good option. Usually these cookies are made with peanut butter and oats so you could try the recipe using peanut butter if you preferred.
There are also paleo bloggers who have created “Oatmeal” Cookies without oats. Here’s such a recipe, Grain-Free “Oatmeal” Raisin Cookies, from Danielle of Against All Grain. Hope that helps!
