    Not going to lie, this cookie recipe is near and dear to my heart because MAN did it take a while to perfect. I’m talking 6 - 7 batches over the course of 3 months. I’d try the recipe out 2 or 3 times at once, get frustrated, and then pick it up again the following month. Just when I thought the perfect gluten-free chocolate chip cookie didn’t exist, magic happened and we ended up with these beauties.

    What You Need to Make the BEST Gluten-Free Oatmeal Cookies

    Rolled Oats and Oat Flour

    The combination of both big, thick rolled oats and oat flour create the perfect cookie. The oats provide that crunch an oatmeal cookie should have while the oat flour gives the cookie the moisture it needs to be super soft

    Coconut Sugar and Maple Syrup

    The coconut sugar adds those little sweet crystals to the batter. While the maple syrup sweetens things up just a tad bit more while also giving the batter some extra moisture. The two together are a match made in heaven when it comes to the perfect cookie batter

    Baking Soda

    We want these cookies to have those nice crispy edges. Baking soda ensures each cookie will have a soft, chewy center with golden brown edges

    Chocolate Chips

    Is it even a question when it comes to raisins vs chocolate chips in an oatmeal cookie? Chocolate chips win in my book every time. The chocolate chips melt perfectly into each cookie and make the ultimate accompaniment to these crunchy cookies

    Recipe Substitutes

    Make them Vegan

    You can easily make these cookies plant-based by swapping out the eggs for 2 flax eggs. Simply mix together 2 tablespoon flax seeds with 5 tablespoon water and set aside. The mixture will “jell” up within 3 - 5 minutes and then it’s ready to me mixed into the batter

    No coconut sugar?

    If you don’t have coconut sugar, increase the maple syrup amount to ½ cup and these cookies will taste just as sweet and delicious!

    Switch up the add-ins

    Not a fan of chocolate chips? I can’t relate but you can definitely mix things up with adding in chopped nuts, dried fruit, or even some M&Ms!
