Over 70 Gluten-Free Oatmeal Cookie Recipes!

https://www.thepaleomom.com/recipe-chocolate-chip-oatmeal-cookies/Depending upon your source of information for food holidays, either today is National Oatmeal Cookie Day or April 30 is the special day for oatmeal cookie lovers. Although I can’t imagine any day being a bad day to celebrate oatmeal cookies! Therefore, I’ve taken the opportunity to update my collection of gluten-free oatmeal cookie recipes for you! Now it totally eclipses my earlier, “short” roundup of gluten-free oatmeal cookie recipes as it includes so many more Gluten-Free Oatmeal Cookie Recipes from your favorite bloggers.

How many more? You’ll now find over 70 recipes! Don’t be daunted though. You can quickly find the recipe(s) that appeals to you and also works for your diet—“just gluten free” or gluten free and “more free” because I have the recipes labeled to help you out—“dairy free,” “egg free,” “vegan,” etc.

Plus, here’s a surprise for you. The collection includes some “oatmeal” cookie recipes that taste just like oatmeal cookies but actually contain no oatmeal. These recipes are a gift for those who love oatmeal but can’t tolerate oatmeal, those who eat grain free, paleo, and/or keto. 

And now let’s get to all those delicious cookies!

You’ll find basic oatmeal cookie recipes, fancy oatmeal cookies recipes, oatmeal bars, and more—from “just gluten free” to vegan to paleo, and everything in between. There are even grain-free and paleo “oatmeal” cookie recipes for those who don’t eat oats (or any other grains), but still want that oatmeal taste and texture in a cookie.

Be sure to use the oats that are safe for those of us who eat gluten free for medical reasons–such oats are known as purity protocol oats. It’s simply not enough to buy oats labeled gluten free or even certified gluten-free oats (or to ensure that products that contain oat ingredients are certified gluten free) any longer. Note that even the oats linked to in the individual recipes in this collection may not be safe. Please do your research. More and more companies are now using mainstream oats which are highly contaminated with gluten-full grains that have gone through a mechanical sorting process to attempt to remove the gluten. Complete removal is impossible and testing an extraction or two, which is basically how most testing for gluten in oats is done, does not adequately show the contamination. 

By the way, many who legitimately cannot tolerate certified gluten-free purity protocol oats, which is a very small percentage of those who are gluten free, have found that they can successfully substitute quinoa flakes in most recipes. Note that quinoa flakes have a slightly stronger flavor than oats. Bonus … they have almost twice as much protein per serving as oats and quinoa is considered a complete protein as it supplies all the nine essential amino acids.
