Variations

🍪Gluten Free Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

This recipe calls for regular, dairy butter which you will probably find in your fridge. Just pick your favorite and follow the recipe as it is.

🍪Gluten Free Dairy Free Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

This recipe is usually made with semi-sweet chocolate chips. As it is dairy free, make sure that the chocolate chips are vegan or do not contain any dairy ingredients. But you can make those chips any flavor you want like adding vegan chopped dark chocolate chunks.

🍪Gluten Free Dairy Free Oatmeal Walnut Cookies

Replace the raisins in this recipe with whopped raw walnuts, by weight, and your cookies will taste completely different. The walnuts bring out the nuttiness in the oats.

🍪Gluten Free Dairy Free Oatmeal Cookies with dried fruit

Replace some or all of the raisins with chopped dried apricots, dried cranberries, or even pitted, chopped dates. You can add your favorite dried fruit. You have so many choices!

🌿🍪Vegan Oatmeal Cookies

You can make this recipe vegan if you replace the eggs. You can use a Vegan Egg Replacer Powder or the “Chia Egg” (1 tablespoon ground chia seeds with 1 tablespoon lukewarm water, mixed and allowed to gel). You can then add raisins, walnuts or chocolate chips.

FAQs about the Gluten Free Dairy Free Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

What type of gluten free flour I should use for this recipe?

We made this recipe with Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free All-Purpose Baking Four. Other blends should work, but some may need more or less liquid than others depending on the starch content. Gluten Free flour mixes may contain different flours including oat flour, garbanzo bean flour, fava bean flour, tapioca flour, sorghum flour, and others. Make sure that the gluten free flour blend is certified gluten free.

What type of plant-based butter should I use for this recipe?

We used Violife Unsalted Plant Butter. This plant-based butter had a good texture and therefore, it works well in baking. This has become one of our favorite butters to use since it has great taste, texture, and availability. You can get it at all major grocery stores in the country and online at $5. You can try other favorites like the Earth Balance Original Buttery Spread and Melt Organic.

Why do I have to chill the cookie dough?

Although the cookie dough is, generally speaking thick, chilling it before baking ensures the proper texture every time.
You can make it without chilling the dough. The cookies will simply spread a bit more, so they won’t be quite as thick.

How can I store the Gluten Free Dairy Free Oatmeal Raisin Cookies?

Make sure the cookies are completely cooled. You don’t want them still warm because they will get soggy. Once cooled, you can store them in an airtight container or even a bag that is zipped. They should last up to 5 days at room temperature. They will last longer in the refrigerator.

Can I freeze the Gluten Free Dairy Free Oatmeal Raisin Cookies?

If you want to freeze them, make sure they are cooled to room temperature. Then, store them in a freezer-safe zip-top container or a freezer bag. They should last for up to 3 months. Thaw completely in the fridge before serving them at room temperature.

Why you don’t use coconut sugar or coconut oil to make this recipe?

Well, at wedesserts.com, we are not crazy for coconut oil. We still love coconut sugar but for this recipe, we follow the traditional recipe using a blend of both brown sugar and granulated sugar.
