My Favorite Gluten Free Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

By 65 Comments

These gluten-free oatmeal cookies get made over and over again in our home! Sometimes, nuts are added in; sometimes, they are dipped in chocolate; sometimes, they are crumbled over a bowl of frozen yogurt. Most-times, they are are favorite!

Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies Gluten Free @RunninSrilankan

About 10 years ago, when I first started making oatmeal chocolate chip cookies, I had a lot of “spreadage”! Now, I am not a trained chef or cook of any sort, so, I might not quite be down with “chef-speak” or “cooking lingo”, but; the first time I made an oatmeal chocolate chip cookie, I placed a circular piece of dough that was roughly a little less than an inch in diameter in the oven – and out came a cookie that was about 4 inches in diameter and so totally flat! While it wasn’t a failure in the taste department – it just spread into the cookies surrounding it – almost making up a splattered cookie cake of sorts!

In those early years, I think I started falling in love with baking as I totally enjoyed eating my failed attempts at perfecting an oatmeal chocolate chip cookie. Now, I could have looked for a recipe online and duplicated it, but – what’s the fun in that -right?! When it comes to baking, even though I might stumble on something that has been done before; for me, there is no bigger thrill than putting a concoction in the oven and having something pop out that looks and tastes way better than I was expecting it to!

All those failed attempts in those early years helped me eventually come up with an oatmeal chocolate chip cookie that is a favorite in our house these days! With just 7 ingredients that include gluten free oats, brown sugar, salt, baking powder, eggs, chocolate chips and butter; these cookies are not only super easy to pull together, but they sure can quell a wicked sweet tooth like mine! They are also easier on the stomach if you happen to have a gluten sensitivity – provided you use oats that have been certified gluten free.

Somedays, I substitute coconut palm sugar for the brown sugar, and coconut oil for the butter, to make a healthier, gluten free, treat that my daughter and I can enjoy for breakfast! My daughter isn’t a huge fan of breakfast, but when cookies are involved, she is done with breakfast before I can pour my second cup of coffee

    Let’s say you have definitely learnt from your ‘mistakes’!
    I agree, sometimes we just need to take some risks in the kitchen, especially when baking.
    Sometimes it goes wrong, but often, a star is born. But it takes time and perseverance!

    There’s nothing better than finally nailing a recipe! Especially when cookies are involved, because I swear — those suckers are extra tricky. I can’t even tell you how many times I’ve ended up with one giant cookie mass as a result of too much spreading, or little hockey pucks as a result of too little spreading 😆 But these look delicious, Shashi. And I love that they’re just made with oats!

      I think that’s gotta be the first time I’ve heard “hockey pucks” used to describe cookies – burgers yes – but not cookies! I love it! I bet if I told my daughter they tasted like hockey pucks, she wouldnt even attempt to taste them! 🙂

    Shashi, these look absolutely perfect! Definitely no extra “spreadage” going on with these beauties! There are definitely worse things than sometimes having to eat our failed attempts in the kitchen 😉

      Haha – I love eating my failed attempts! Even if they don’t look ugly, they sure taste good – especially when chocolate and oats are involved! Thanks so much Sonali!

    I prefer a thick and chewy cookie, so any tricks you have to make that happen sound good to me! Plus oatmeal cookies are the best. Just saying.

    Oh gosh I hate it when cookies spread like mad in the oven! haha The worst!

    These cookies look fantastic! I would totally eat a few of these for breakfast 🙂

    Wow, these cookies look excellent! And they’re even gluten-free. I also saw that you used a new recipe form! Do you like it so far? 🙂

    Not only do they sound as the perfect oatmeal cookies, but they look this way too! There is only one thing you could do to make them even better – add some nuts, then dip in chocolate, and finally crumble them over ice cream (but it’s essential to follow all these steps!). The only one step left is to send all them to me (okay you can leave a few for your breakfast – I’m not a greedy guy). Nice work, Shashi!

      Haha! Thanks Ben! I don’t have any of these cookies left – but your description makes me wanna go make some more – WITH nuts – and DIP them in chocolate and get some froYo to crumble them over – with a side of coffee!

    I was always so distrustful of oatmeal raisin cookies for looking like chocolate chip cookies… but now I love oatmeal! I haven’t had an oatmeal chocolate chip cookie in so long but love how healthy these guys are… Luckily it isn’t too hot in SF to turn on the oven!

      Haha – those darn raisins! Why do they have to look like chocolate eh? 🙂
      Cassie – it’s in the high 90’s here and I am still baking – nothing like a homemade cookie!

    I love how they look and sound, absolutely yummy. I agree, after baking for years, we learn a little here and there, small things make such a difference.
    My boys are home now and I’m constantly baking with them, this would be a good one. In fact, I like gluten free ones, they are so much more healthier and filling.
    Great one Sashi.

    This is so great! Nice job on these cookies! There’s nothing worse than a flat cookie. My husband jokes and says “did you make me flapjacks?” haha.
