Oatmeal Cookies (Gluten Free)
I’ve been sort of busy. I’ve gone completely overboard and I’m pretty sure I’ve single handedly caused a local butter shortage.
I made this eggnog fudge.
I made these coconut lime bars.
I made this peppermint mocha cake.
I made homemade poptarts.
I made these chocolate crinkles.
I made these linzer cookies.
I made these cowboys cookies.
I made these pistachio orange cookies.
I made these pignoli cookies.
You just got a cavity reading that.
I also made these gluten free oatmeal cookies. Look down there at the ingredients. Notice anything funky? Nope. That’s why I love these. This recipe is simple. No need for strange flours or gums. Just oats. Oh and butter. Duh.
You don’t need to tell anyone they’re gluten free. We can leave that right here. They’re just good cookies. Chewy with a hint of peanut butter and melty chocolate chips. This is the part where I tell you to go make them. And where you tell me to put the butter down, back away from the mixer and go eat a vegetable.
Gluten Free Oatmeal Cookies (recipe adapted from the back of Trader Joe’s gluten free oats; makes about 4 dozen cookies)
Ingredients:
1/4 cup butter
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cups brown sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1¼ teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
pinch of nutmeg
1 cup peanut butter
3 cups rolled oats (gluten free)
6 oz chocolate chips
1/2 cup chopped pecans
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350.
- Cream together the butter and sugars in the bowl of an electric mixer until fluffy.
- Add the eggs, vanilla, baking soda, cinnamon, salt and nutmeg. Mix. Add peanut butter and mix.
- Add the oats, chocolate chips and pecans. Mix slowly until combined.
- Scoop about a teaspoon of dough onto a greased or parchment-covered cookie sheet.
- Bake 10-12 minutes until lightly brown at edges. Remove and let cool on wire rack.
Notes:
- The eggnog fudge, peppermint roll and pignolis above are also gluten free. Be sure to check the ingredients of your almond paste for the pignolis. Some brands have wheat.
- So…since I’ve been doing nothing but baking, writing Christmas cards didn’t happen this year. Consider this a virtual Christmas card. With virtual cookies! Wishing you all a wonderful holiday and a healthy new year!
- I used homemade natural peanut butter. Of course store bought will work too just be sure it doesn’t have too much added sugar.

sooo need to make these over the holidays (with my sis and not jaim cosa the pb). cant wait. yum!
Yum! No… double yum!!
These were delicous.
Awesome! Thank you!
Did you forget the PB that is in the recipe on the Trader Joe’s Oats?
I did! Thank you so much. Corrected.
So – in a pinch, if I can’t find my way back to this recipe, I can just get the Trader Joes oats & the recipe is there? Or did you make some changes?
I made a few changes. Particularly adding spices.
Yum O! Love me some oats.. Oh, Don says, Love me some oats too!
These look really tasty! Love that they are gluten free. I’ve been wanting to do more gluten free baking. Thanks!
I JUST made your cookies – they are terrific!
As I don’t have any peanut butter at home, I tried with almond butter and they worked really well. Also substituted the pecans for walnuts. Many thanks for sharing this simple recipe!
Wonderful! Thanks for sharing your changes. Good to know a peanut free version works well!
Mmm…who can turn down oatmeal cookies with chocolate. No one!! Can’t wait to try this recipe. Lovely blog!
Thank you! Hope you enjoy!
I have made these several times now….LOVE them, and now I add pumpkin seeds, raisins , and coconut , the kids love them too:-) Thank you for the awesome and super easy recipe!!!
This makes me happy. I like the mix-ins! Thanks for sharing!
I made these and they are delicious! I didn’t have nuts, so I added coconut and some heath toffee bits (are they gluten-free? . . . not sure). These are for my two type 1 diabetic kids and they come out to about 11 carbs each (I got 62 cookies out of one batch).
Thank you for this great recipe! On a very restricted diet and these satisfy my cookie craving. I may modify next with a little nutella
You’re welcome. Glad you enjoy!
Is there any substitute for the peanut butter? Can I use apple sauce? date paste?
Thanks!
I’m not sure since I didn’t test it with anything else but I would think almond butter or sunflower butter would work.

So glad you enjoyed them!
Delicious! I just whipped up a half-batch of these. We didn’t have any chocolate chips or nut, but I added in a handful of coconut. YUM! Can’t wait to play around with other nut/seed butter and get some CHOCOLATE in there!
So glad you enjoyed them! Wait till you add chocolate! It can only get better
Love these and love your amazing blog! But most of all I love you!!
Gluten is not our friend, and is causing damage to our children for those unlucky enough to have wheat alergies.
do you think natural peanut butter would work instead of regular peanut butter? they’re rather different in make-up.
Yes I’ve made them with natural peanut butter.
Awesome! I made them tonight with natural peanut butter and they were incredible! Thanks!
So good! I substituted coconut butter for the butter, almond butter for the peanut butter, and slivered almonds for the pecans. Fantastic cookies!
wow! thanks for sharing your substitutions! glad you enjoyed!

Made these using only 1/2 cup coconut sugar in place of the 1.5 cups of sugar in the recipe. They were awesome!
Great! Thank you!
Amazing!!! Thank you!!
Deeeelicious. I used 1 c. Almond flour beause we had some laying around, and 2 1/2c. Oats . Also used 3/4 c almond butter instead of peanut butter ( that’s all we had) came out great!!!
Oh my! These are delicious made exactly as written. My husband “loved” them so I can officially stop looking for “my oatmeal cookie recipe”. This is the best one!
Thanks!
These are fantastic! I have made them twice now and had several people ask me for the recipe. This is the second gf cookie recipe I have tried that calls for oats and no flour. LOVE that! Thanks for sharing.
Great! Glad everyone is enjoying them! I actually just picked up some ingredients to make them again this weekend
Great recipe! I used natural almond butter and reduced the sugar to 1 cup.
I left out the chocolate chips for a friend that can’t eat chocolate, and left out the nuts. I added a cup of grated carrot for texture. They turned out great, crispy on the outside, chewy on inside.
glad you enjoyed them!

OMG these look so delicious, I wish it was grocery shopping day.
Good morning Krissy, I was looking for a good Oatmeal cookie recipe last night and I found a great one, yours!! Thank you, they were delicious!!
Awesome! Thanks!
These were so incredible! I used 3/4 c brown sugar and 1/2 c honey and omitted the salt by mistake and they were perfect. I worked out ok because I used salted butter and salted peanut butter (which is typical). I didn’t have chocolate chips so I chopped up two dark chocolate bars – oh my!!! Thank you
Glad to hear they worked out for you! Happy Thanksgiving!
These are fabulous! I used egg replacer because my daughter is allergic to eggs. I also used natural PB from Whole Foods, which I think helped them stick together because of the extra oil in the PB. They were still a bit crumbly, but delicious nonetheless.
I just thought I would come back with an update- I have baked these several times, and because we have an egg allergy, I used ener-g egg replacer, although the first batch was a bit dry and crumbly. I decided to substitute 1/4-1/2 c. honey in place of the regular sugar. I also used almond butter in place of the PB and accidentally used baking soda in place of baking powder. (1 tsp), and a handful of chopped walnuts. WOW! They turned out the best yet! The honey makes them really gooey when you first put them on the baking sheet (I used parchment paper) and also quite gooey right out of the oven, but they do firm up and become slightly moist and oh so delicious! I don’t think the egg replacer is even needed with these modifications, but I haven’t tried it without yet. Just wanted to give people an egg free and refined sugar free option.
