Gluten Free Oatmeal Cookies


2Boys4Me

Recommended Posts

I made the following recipe the other day. Both kids love them. My older son (NGF) has been bugging me to make oatmeal cookies, but I made them gluten-free so I wouldn't have all-purpose flour floating around the kitchen.

Gramma's Dad's Cookies

2 cups white sugar

1 cup brown sugar

2 cups margarine

2 eggs

2 cups coconut

2 1/2 cups oatmeal

3 cups flour

2 teaspoons baking soda

2 teaspoons baking powder

make into balls and if you want, flatten with a fork dipped in sugar...Bake at 350 for 7 to 10 minutes...Makes lots of cookies..

my notes:

I just dropped the dough onto the cookie sheet with a spoon, it was a bit sloppy to try to roll into a ball.

I used Lara's rolled oats and Lara's oat flour (AKA Cream Hill Estates - from Quebec). I used one cup oat flour and the other 2 cups I used Carol Fenster's sorghum/corn flour blend.

1 1/2 cups sorghum flour

1/1/2 cups potato starch

1 cup tapioca flour

1/2 cup corn flour (or chestnut flour or bean flour)

They didn't quite look done at 10 minutes, so I baked for 12 and then they crisped up afterwards, so they were a bit over done. I'll stick with the 10 minutes next time. I don't like coconut at all, but you can't really taste it, so it's okay for people who aren't crazy about coconut.

Also when this says "makes lots of cookies" it's right! I had a tupperware container full and three 1 litre zip bags full to put in the freezer.

I got the recipe from my mother-in-law, so I suppose it's her dad's recipe.

Because of the whole oats controversy, I only let Ty have two a day. He has not reported any stomachaches or anything, so for those of you who can tolerate oats, you may want to give this recipe a try.

You do know that celiacs shouldn't eat oats, don't you?

2Boys4Me Enthusiast

I do know that the protein in oats is very similar to gluten, but that oats don't actually contain gluten. I know that commercial brands like Quaker are not recommended because they are grown/transported/processed with gluten containing grains. I know that some celiacs have no problem consuming small quantities of certifed gluten-free oats and that others can't tolerate gluten-free oats.

My son's GI doctor and dietician both agreed that since he's been on the diet for two years that if he chooses he can have the certified gluten-free oats in moderation - 1/4 cup a day 3 or 4 times a week. I am using certifed gluten-free oats and oat flour from Cream Hill Estates.

Sorry if this comes off as a bit harsh, but I had the feeling you were judging me on my decision to let my son eat oatmeal cookies once in a while.

My extremely sensitive and symptomatic Celiac daughter can consume the Cream Hill Estates oats in the form of a bowl of oatmeal or oatmeal cookies without any difficulty. gluten-free oats provide a much needed form of fibre in a gluten free diet.

BTW I use the oatmeal cookie recipe in Annalise Roberts' cookbook (gluten free classics I believe the name is - it's a white book with a picture of a slice of cake on it in any event) and they are hands down the best oatmeal cookies I have ever tasted in my life (gluten or no gluten). We add raisins to the recipe but might add chocolate chips next time for fun. Well worth a try - they are chewy in the middle and crispy on the edges and delicious all the time!

      I followed the Autoimmune Protocol Diet to get my symptoms calmed down and my nutrients up.   I know what a struggle it is.  You're why I'm here. Smoothing out some rough parts of your journey makes my journey worthwhile. Here's the tests you can get for Celiac antibodies...

      @Ginger38, I'm with you!   I could not take Metformin.  I got so sick, constant diarrhea, abdominal cramps, extreme highs and lows, no energy, weight loss, muscle wasting.  Just horrible.   Metformin is known to block thiamine absorption.  Talk to your doctor about thiamine deficiency.  It's called Gastrointestinal Beriberi.  My doctor didn't recognize thiamine deficiency outside of alcoholism.  So I took over the counter Thiamine in the form Tetrahydrofurfuryl Disulfide and felt health improvement within an hour.  Magical!   I followed the Autoimmune Protocol diet to get my stomach calmed down and control my blood glucose levels without medication. Being diabetic, we lose more thiamine through our kidneys, and the Metformin on top of it and malabsorption from Celiac.  Talk to your doctor soon!

      Thankyou I will be seeing my new primary this coming Monday and will ask.I did ask about some other blood test to look for that I saw on this website.I pushed the second ANA panel two months ago thinking it would show but found out it doesn't.I don't have lupus which seems what the ANA panel seems to only look for.I have come to the conclusion that doctors are like hair people meaning all hair places know how to cut hair and style but not all know how to grow hair.I was given tramadel for nearly 20 years to push through. I literally can't no more and stopped taking tramadel since I was swelling slowly in the belly.I will diffently show new primary this website and hopefully he will help.Its so hard because im falling apart with my eye, skin and read every label and stay away from what Im not supposed to.I had SIBO test done and it died on me and didn't complete all 8 breathes just the 5.I spoke to np and was finally validated by word of mouth.Cone to find out I have to repeat again.I went to a reputable hospital to be let down.I have to redo breath test but want to do at hospital instead of at home so no issues.Its not pleasant drinking that glucose stuff and not getting a direct answer. I live in Northern Cali.What recommended gi would know about celiac  disease, really know because I thought I found one but didn't. I don't want to digest any wheat, dairy, peanuts, rye, barely, eggs,garlic, walnuts because I get sick.When i showed the reputable hospital my past food allergies i was told that test is old.My thoughts were i was made in 1971 and its still avtive with diagestive issues.

      It’s completely understandable to feel blindsided by a celiac disease diagnosis, especially when you’ve never experienced any noticeable symptoms. Many people assume that celiac disease always comes with obvious digestive distress, but in reality, some people—like you—are asymptomatic, or what’s sometimes called “silent celiac.” Even without symptoms, the disease can still cause internal damage to your small intestine and increase your risk for serious complications like osteoporosis, infertility, certain cancers, and neurological issues, including ataxia. That’s why treatment—a strict lifelong gluten-free diet—is recommended for all individuals diagnosed with celiac disease, not just those who feel sick. It’s surprising that your PCP advised you to continue eating gluten, as this contradicts current clinical guidelines. You may want to seek a second opinion from a gastroenterologist or a dietitian who specializes in celiac disease. Even without symptoms, going gluten-free is the best way to protect your long-term health and prevent complications. Your first degree relatives should also be screened for celiac disease. You’re definitely not alone—many in the celiac community have been in your shoes and can offer support as you begin this unexpected journey.

      Welcome to the forum, @Jmartes71, Wow!  31 years!  That's great! You can get a DNA test to show genes specifically for Celiac.  Your genes don't change whether you eat gluten or not.   Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  The gluten free diet can be low in essential nutrients.  You may have become a bit deficient after such a long time.  Deficiencies in certain vitamins and minerals can lead to many health problems. Start keeping a food journal.  Other food sensitivities could have developed.  Journaling can help connect symptoms with specific foods.  Vitamin D can help calm the immune system so you don't react to everything. When I was deficient, I had peripheral neuropathy, headaches, migraines, joint aches.  I was seriously deficient in many other vitamins and minerals.  Our bodies need the eight essential B vitamins to function properly.  Thiamine deficiency can appear first because thiamine can become depleted within eighteen days. Infections can deplete thiamine stores. Covid Longhaulers are frequently thiamine deficient.  Ask for an Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test if available.  Blood tests aren't really accurate measures of Thiamine, but if low, you've probably been deficient for a good while. Thiamine and Vitamin D may help with menopause.  I also take Oil of Evening Primrose which helps immensely.   I was deficient in Cobalamine B12, thiamine and the other B vitamins.  B Complex vitamins are important for nerve health.  I had pain up my legs from neuropathy.   A combination of Thiamine, Pyridoxine B 6, and Cobalamine B12 acts as an  analgesic.   Thiamine deficiency can take the form of Gastrointestinal Beriberi, causing almost constant diarrhea.  I bought a chamber pot and kept it handy.  I couldn't make it to the bathroom. Thiamine deficiency can affect appetite.  One can lose their appetite or become ravenous or swing between the two extremes.  Thiamine deficiency can also cause weight loss and muscle wasting.  I lost weight then muscle within days.   Yes, I understand.  I lived through it despite my doctors not recognizing thiamine deficiency outside of alcoholism because it presents differently.  I was so desperate,  I took over the counter Thiamine in the form Thiamine Tetrahydrofurfuryl Disulfide (TTFD) and felt improvement within an hour!  It was like magic!  I also took the other essential vitamins and minerals.  Talk to a dietician. Talk to your doctor about testing for thiamine deficiency.  Definitely.   Keep us posted on your progress!  Best wishes!
