Are Oats Gluten Free?

These gluten-free oatmeal cookies are full of healthy oats. I want to take a moment to remind you how important it is to make sure your oats are certified gluten-free. Oats themselves are gluten-free but they frequently come into contact with gluten. Trader Joe’s, Bob’s Red Mill, and several other companies have gluten-free oats available.

And just in case you are fairly new to gluten-free and wonder if raisins are gluten-free, they are. Where you have to be careful is if you purchase raisins through a bulk container. (You know those big barrels.) Cross-contact can happen so buy raisins pre-packaged.

Irish Cream

Who doesn’t love Irish cream?

I used Bailey’s Irish Cream for this icing, but you can always make your own Irish cream. Check out this homemade Irish cream recipe. I bet this sweet icing would also taste great on these Gluten Free Blonde Brownies or this giant Gluten Free Oatmeal Skillet Cookie!

Substitution and Recipe Variation Ideas:

1. If you don’t like Irish cream, no worries! Feel free to skip it.
2. If you love old-fashioned glazed oatmeal cookies, you can easily make a glaze with powdered sugar and water. Just use 1/2 cup powdered sugar to 2 teaspoons water. Gradually additional add water as needed to make it runny!
3. Add nuts like walnuts or pecans to this cookie recipe. 1/2 cup should be enough.

The icing will harden on the cookie, just like one of those old-fashioned iced oatmeal cookies you probably ate before going gluten-free!

How to make gluten-free oat cookies:

Combine the oatmeal cookie ingredients as listed in the recipe below. Mix the cookie dough well. Your oatmeal cookie dough will look like this picture. Moist and easy to scoop.

Use a cookie scoop to drop dough balls onto a baking sheet. Press down slightly with your hand to flatten slightly. Don’t eat that gluten-free oatmeal cookie dough since there are raw eggs in there! (I know you will be tempted!!)

Press down slightly with your hand to flatten slightly. Don’t eat that gluten-free oatmeal cookie dough since there are raw eggs in there! (I know you will be tempted!!) Trust me, these gluten-free oat cookies are just as good baked!!
