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.

      Bob red mill gluten free oats

      Not necessarily. The "Gluten Free" label means not more than 20ppm of gluten in the product which is often not enough for super sensitive celiacs. You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten. Having said that, "Gluten Free" doesn't mean that there will necessarily be more gluten than "Certified...

      Disaccharide deficient, confusing biopsy results, no blood test

      I think it is wise to seek a second opinion from a GI doc and to go on a gluten free diet in the meantime. The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you...

      High TTG-IgG and Normal TTG-IgA

      Let me suggest an adjustment to your terminology. "Celiac disease" and "gluten intolerance" are the same. The other gluten disorder you refer to is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which is often referred to as being "gluten sensitive". Having said that, the reality is there is still much inconsistency in how people use these terms. Since celiac disease...

      I think it is wise to seek a second opinion from a GI doc and to go on a gluten free diet in the meantime. The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you can worry about the gluten challenge at that time. But between now and the time of the appointment, if your symptoms improve on a gluten free diet, that is more evidence. Just keep in mind that if a gluten challenge is called for, the bare minimum challenge length is two weeks of the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten, which is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. But, I would count on giving it four weeks to be sure.

      thank you both for the insights. i agree, im going to back off on dairy and try sucraid. thanks for the tip about protein powder, i will look for whey protein powder/drinks!   i don’t understand why my doctor refused to order it either. so i’ve decided i’m not going to her again, and i’m going to get a second opinion with a GI recommended to me by someone with celiac. unfortunately my first appointment isn’t until February 17th. do you think i should go gluten free now or wait until after i meet with the new doctor? i’m torn about what i should do, i dont know if she is going to want to repeat the endoscopy, and i know ill have to be eating gluten to have a positive biopsy. i could always do the gluten challenge on the other hand if she does want to repeat the biopsy.    thanks again, i appreciate the support here. i’ve learned a lot from these boards. i dont know anyone in real life with celiac.

      Let me suggest an adjustment to your terminology. "Celiac disease" and "gluten intolerance" are the same. The other gluten disorder you refer to is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which is often referred to as being "gluten sensitive". Having said that, the reality is there is still much inconsistency in how people use these terms. Since celiac disease does damage to the small bowel lining it often results in nutritional deficiencies such as anemia. NCGS does not damage the small bowel lining so your history of anemia may suggest you have celiac disease as opposed to NCGS. But either way, a gluten-free diet is in order. NCGS can cause bodily damage in other ways, particularly to neurological systems.
