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.

      Oh yes I can understand the tiredness after going threw all that, must be exhausting especially on the mind I have high aniexty so I can understand that , I wish there more easier ways for people to get help , I had a MRI on my spine some years ago without anything it was really quick and no prep , I understand the need for  them to see better with the bowel ,but you think they would use something a little less traumatic  for ibd sufferers on the bowels by now ,I hope your feeling better today 🙏

      Celiac attack confusion and anxiety

      By Colleen H · Posted

      I wonder if tingling burning feet are part of it.. I'm not sure if it's the med reaction that people with gluten intolerance get or the food we ate  It's frustrating because a person who did not want to admit to himself I had this condition wanted me to eat this chicken sandwich and now I'm stuck with a variety of symptoms plus now I'm hungry on top of it..  I'm new to this so I forget that "one bite" of the wrong thing can hurt us.😔. Do we stop eating if someone exposed us to gluten ??  My stomach is rumbling but my joints hurt ...  It's weird because I can feel the anxiety coming on.  I get joint problems ,  I don't know if anyone ever got hot flashes?? I suppose if it affects people head to toes you can get that too.   It's weird...hard to decipher what is what.   Also how long do I have to deal with this attack??  Makes me feel like not getting up out of bed.  I get too many symptoms which  horrible.  Thank you for your response..

      still struggling with cravings

      By wellthatsfun · Posted

      as my last post stated, i was diagnosed via endoscopy on the 14th of june. i have been eating amazing home cooked meals, luckily, mainly cooked by my boyfriend who is extremely careful about contamination (and is an incredible cook at that). however, i find myself in a mental rut still. being 18, this is the time in my life where i should be exploring things, going out, having fun. yet every corner i turn i'm tortured by the amazing smell of something i can't have anymore. the wonderful sight of such yummy foods. it's near torture. if my boyfriend and his friend who lives with us buy something i can't have, they'll usually eat it outside of the house or the car or wherever we are - which is greatly appreciated - but even seeing a burger or chips or a sausage roll in their hands guts me almost beyond repair. i just wanna have it again too. i miss it. i feel left out and it makes me very sad all the time. it's not their fault. they are allowed to eat whatever they want to, whatever their intestines will allow. it just stings, bad. and i feel so ungrateful given i basically have a private chef who is doubly the love of my life. but it's just so hard. i know i'll adapt. i haven't given up hope.i just wanted to vent. thank you for reading

      Thank you. I must have misinterpreted a study or something. Thank you for the clarification. Much appreciated. Almost three years into my celiac diagnosis and I'm still learning new things.
