Gluten-Free Oatmeal Cookies image

Unlike many other oatmeal cookie recipes with refined sugars and flours, you won't find any of that nonsense here. Just old-fashioned oats, maple syrup, and loads of fiber. Oh yeah, and dark chocolate chips, which by the way are little antioxidant powerhouses. Scrumptious and entirely guilt free! Adding gluten-free brewer's yeast to this recipe makes for a great, nutrient-dense lactation cookie for new, nursing moms. Omit for a more classic oatmeal cookie. Store in an airtight container at room temperature, or freeze.

Time 35m

Yield 18

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 cups gluten-free oats
½ cup oat flour
3 tablespoons gluten-free brewer's yeast
2 tablespoons ground flaxseed meal
2 tablespoons psyllium husk powder
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 cup coconut oil
¼ cup maple syrup
2 tablespoons unsulfured molasses

  • Add dry ingredients in several additions, beating on low speed until combined. Fold in chocolate chips until evenly dispersed in the dough.

  • Use old-fashioned oats: Old-fashioned oats provide a chewy texture and a nutty flavor to the cookies.
  • Add a variety of mix-ins: Feel free to add your favorite mix-ins to the cookies, such as chocolate chips, raisins, nuts, or dried fruit.
  • Don't overbake the cookies: The cookies are done baking when the edges are golden brown and the centers are still soft and chewy.
