Are there any recipes for oatmeal cookies using McCann's Irish Oatmeal?

It is the only oatmeal that we can eat. So I wanted to make oatmeal cookies using McCann's oats. However, these oats are steel cut and they are not flakey. So I don't know how the cookies will come out if I use the cooked oats.

I will let you know.... :lol:

Tammy,

McCann's also makes Irish-style rolled oats, which should work just like "regular" oats in a cookie recipe. They come in a rectangular box rather than a tin.

McCann's also makes quick-cooking steel-cut oats, which I absolutely LOVE! They have so much more texture than the rolled oats, but they take only five to seven minutes to cook!

Maybe your health-food store would have these products. I buy mine at Trader Joe's. Do you have one of those near you? Good luck with the cookies!

Hi,

I thought oats are to be avoided due to possible cross contamination. Is McCain safe? What other brands, if any?

Thanks!

Oats do not intrinsically contain gluten, oat products have gluten due to cross contamination. McCann's is a brand that many us do eat without trouble. This website cites a study where adults were fed a controlled amount of uncontaminated oats for 5 years and showed no villi damage.

Should you choose to try and incorporate oats into your diet, McCann's is currently (besides a german manufactuerer in Europe), the only brand you should try.

Think it over, it's not something that everyone is comfortable with, but if you decide that you want to inroduce oats into your diet again, check out the McCann's website:

If you look on page 2 of this forum on recipes, you'll see a section on cookie recipes... I posted a great oatmeal cookie recipes there!

sorry, I'm not sure how to link to other pages on this site!

Thank you everyone for the oatmeal! This is the one thing I have been missing from my diet. I used to eat it every morning-now I can have it again.

My husband loves oatmeal cookies. But, the last time I baked them for him, it bothered me. Maybe he will not have to suffer without his cookies!

I will have to ask our Hy-Vee store to carry it. They have been just great about getting products for me.

I've been looking for some oatmeal that I could eat too. Just like someone else who posted on here, I used to eat oatmeal every morning for breakfast but had to give it up after it started making me sick. This was almost 3 years ago, before I even knew anything about wheat allergies and celiac. After reading this posting, I went to the store yesterday and was so happy to find this oatmeal! I am getting ready to fix myself a bowl of it :). Thank you everyone!

I just posted an oatmeal cookie recipe in GLuten Free Recipes-Baking and cooking Tips under the thread No Bake Cookies.

They are awesome, but just found out they have issues with the humidity. Tried to make some yesterday and it was raining here in Louisiana. They did not turn out crunchy, they were kind of chewy instead.

The original post is from 2004 - McCann's is not gluten free (50 PPM) and not safe for celiacs. Per their website:

Are McCann's Oat products gluten free?

In the supply chain between farm and mill, there is a possible cross contamination with other grains, such as wheat and barley but we reckon that the level of non-oat grains to be less than 0.05%. Cleaning equipment within the milling process would remove the vast majority of these grains along with other elements such as stones, straw etc.

But we cannot guarantee that McCann's oats are totally gluten free and we recommend that consumers use their own judgement as to whether they wish to use our oatmeal or not. Many celiacs can tolerate our oatmeal products without any adverse effect but they may not suit those who are particularly sensitive.

Thanks, Janet!

For those of you looking for gluten-free oats, there are MANY brands available now. We use Gifts of Nature ourselves, but Bob's Red Mill and many other manufacturers have come out with certified gluten free oats since this original thread started.

      Diagnosed celiac for 1-2 months ago and everything makes me bloated.

      By Beverage · Posted

      I had a very rough month after diagnosis. No exaggeration, lost so much inflammatory weight, I looked like a bag of bones, underneath i had been literally starving to death. I did start feeling noticeably better after a month of very strict control of my kitchen and home. What are you eating for breakfast and lunch? I ignored my doc and ate oats, yes they were gluten free, but some brands are at the higher end of gluten free. Lots of celics can eat Bob's Red Mill gluten-free oats, but not me. I can now eat them, but they have to be grown and processed according to the "purity protocol" methods. I mail order them, Montana Gluten-Free brand. A food and symptoms and activities log can be helpful in tracking down issues. You might be totally aware, but I have to mention about the risk of airborne gluten. As the doc that diagnosed me warned . . Remember eyes, ears, nose, and mouth all lead to your stomach and intestines.  Are you getting any cross contamination? Airborne gluten? Any pets eating gluten (they eat it, lick themselves, you pet them...)? Any house remodeling? We live in an older home, always fixing something. I've gotten glutened from the dust from cutting into plaster walls, possibly also plywood (glues). The suggestions by many here on vitamin supplements also really helped me. I had some lingering allergies and asthma, which are now 99% gone. I was taking Albuterol inhaler every hour just to breathe, but thiamine in form of benfotiamine kicked that down to 1-2 times a day within a few days of starting it. Also, since cutting out inflammatory seed oils (canola, sunflower, grapeseed, etc) and cooking with real olive oil, avocado oil, ghee, and coconut oil, I have noticed even greater improvement overall and haven't used the inhaler in months! It takes time to weed out everything in your life that contains gluten, and it takes awhile to heal and rebuild your health. At first it's mentally exhausting, overwhelming, even obsessive, but it gets better and second nature.

      Protein or fat?

      By Jsingh · Posted

      Hi,  I care for my seven year old daughter with Celiac. After watching her for months, I have figured out that she has problem with two kinds of fats- animal fat and cooking oils. It basically makes her intestine sore enough that she feels spasms when she is upset. It only happens on days when she has eaten more fat than her usual every day diet. (Her usual diet has chia seeds, flaxseeds, and avocado/ pumpkin seeds for fat and an occasional chicken breast.) I stopped using cooking oils last year, and when I reintroduced eggs and dairy, both of which I had held off for a few months thinking it was an issue of the protein like some Celiac patients habe mentioned to be the case, she has reacted in the same fashion as she does with excess fats. So now I wonder if her reaction to dairy and eggs is not really because of protein but fat.   I don't really have a question, just wondering if anyone finds this familiar and if it gets better with time.  Thank you.

      High Cost of Gluten-Free Foods

      By Chanda Richard · Posted

      Hello, My name is Chanda and you are not the only one that gose through the same things. I have found that what's easiest for me is finding a few meals each week that last. I have such severe reactions to gluten that it shuts my entire body down. I struggle everyday with i can't eat enough it feels like, when I eat more I lose more weight. Make sure that you look at medication, vitamins and shampoo and conditioner also. They have different things that are less expensive at Walmart.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.
