Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup gluten free flour blend * see note
  • 1 ¼ cups gluten free whole rolled oats * see note
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder aluminum-free
  • teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup cane sugar
  • cup brown sugar (*See note)
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 large egg
  • 10 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • cup raisins

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, add all dry ingredients and mix well.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, add raisins and mix well.
  • Optional: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill the dough for 30-45 minutes. This will allow the oats to soften, and eliminate any grittness from the gluten free flour blend.
  • Preheat the oven to 350º F.
  • Use a medium-sized cookie scoop to drop dough balls on a parchment-lined cookie sheet. Press each cookie down slightly with your hand to flatten a little.
  • Bake for 10 minutes until done. Remove from the oven onto a cooling rack.

Notes

  1. Please make sure to use certified gluten free oats.
  2. DO use gluten free rolled oats for this recipe, NOT quick oats or steel-cut oats.
  3. You can use coconut sugar instead of brown sugar if you prefer. One reader used Swerve successfully to make these cookies sugar-free. She noted they needed a longer bake time using Swerve.
  4. I have tested this recipe with King Arthur Measure for Measure GF and Bob's Red Mill 1 to 1 GF blend. That doesn't mean others will not work. I just have not tested other flours.
  5. If your gluten free flour blend doesn’t contain xanthan gum or guar gum, please add 1 teaspoon.
  6. To make these cookies dairy-free, use vegan butter.
  7. These cookies will keep fresh for up to 4 days in an airtight container or up to 4 months in the freezer.

SPECIAL NOTE

Please know that every gluten free flour blend has a different starch to grain ratio. If you use a blend I didn't test, you may need to adjust your moisture levels in your baked goods.
