Found A Good Mock Oatmeal Cookie Recipe


Kenster61

Hi,

I got Quinoa flour instead of Quinoa flakes for a Betty Hagman recipe for mock oatmeal cookies. Does it really matter in texture and taste before I open up the bag? Or the big question how can Quinoa flour be used...such as a substitute for another flour? Are there good recipes out there using the flour?

Though I haven't tried such ingredients yet, it does make sense that the texture is part of the reason for the flakes rather than the flour.

Sure there are plenty of uses for the flour, but the real question is whether you will be making anything that would turn out well with it.

Seems this thread keeps me thinking about oatmeal cookies. Either with or without raisins. An oatmeal/peanut butter cookie sounds great too.

Then it hit me - suppose you make popcorn, then put it in a blender to break it up into small pieces? Though not exactly oatmeal, it might give a nice texture to cookies.

Anyone ever try this?

Quinoa flakes and flour will be pretty different. Flakes look similar to oatmeal. Read this recent thread if you haven't seen it already... I made the cookies you're probably talking about...they were good ! You can use the flour as a sub in other recipes. It has a nuttier taste, so remember that when you're subbing.

You can get some recipes for the flour here (will have to convert *some* of these to gluten-free):

Thanks for reminding me Jen. I keep wanting to try this recipe b/c I have a box of Quinoa flakes downstairs. I think I'll give it a try tonight! :)

Jen - I made quinoa cookies from the recipe you posted on the other thread and they turned out great! My "barometer" is always how my kids and hubby like them, and they did! They only lasted a day.

Oh-so glad to hear it! We actually ate all ours too--usually I freeze some, but not this time.

:D Thanks guys

I'm always learning something new here. There are soooo many things to learn about this diet. It helps to bounce some ideas off someone who knows.

Have a great day.

Ken

      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 Gluten" in any given batch run. It just means there could be.

      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.

      Are Bobresmill gluten free oats ok for sensitive celiacs?

      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.
