Flourless Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

I actually love watching food channels – but not so much for recipe ideas, I like shows like Chopped, Top Chef, and Worst Cooks in America. Worst Cooks makes me feel like a pretty darn good cook. 😉

OK a person without chocolate OR peanut butter that has raisins in their cupboard??? That is beyond seriously wrong.

Good morning. Love the cute little dog just waiting…

I don’t enjoy cooking shows at all! I find them terrible boring and don’t tend to learn much from them. They also don’t tend to make things I care about. The advantage of online is that I can usually tell right away if the recipe is something I would like and have the “skills” to do. I also pay attention to the photos.

Thanks for this latest recipe! I love basic and quick. And have a great day.

I love the photo with your dog in the background. Your photos impress me every time, but that one might just be a favorite.

I would say u did pretty good in the baking challenge 🙂 those cookies look great!
my mom made similar ones for me last xmas!

I love Food Network! Chopped is one of my favorite episodes. It’s just so intense!!

I happen to be quite a Food Network junkie. Can you BELIEVE i used to crush on Jamie Oliver? Dang it.BTW- i never tried your fudge babies before (not sure why) but used the recipe for the crust of the truffle pie. Let me just say, thanks to me and my sister, there was hardly any left for the crust! Everyone loved it so we sill make some to eat on our trip to NC this weekend. mmm mmm good 🙂

Wow, those cookies look like they’d even be Weight Watchers-friendly! LOVE! Wonder if I could substitute chocolate chips for raisins 😉 haha

I do not watch the Food Network because I do not have cable or sattelite television (I have Netflix and DVDs – that’s it). When I did have tv in the past, I would watch Chopped, Hell’s Kitchen, and other reality cooking shows, but that’s about it for Food Network 🙂

Mmmm I have been looking for a recipe for oatmeal raisin cookies that are gluten free! You’re amazing. I only watch comedies and dramas, and I don’t really have time to watch much of any Food Network.

Ooh these sound like your flourless chocolate chip cookies but the oatmeal raisin version – and I LOVED your flourless chocolate chip cookies; I make them all the time because they’re so fast and easy! Yum!

great looking cookies!! way to improvise outside of your kitchen, katie! these remind me of your atmeal raisin breakfast cookies (which I have yet to make!) Now I have to make both. these look delicious. 🙂

I love watching the food network while I’m in the gym 😉 There’s something so amusingly ironic about watching people whip up macaroni or cupcakes while I get my calorie-burn on.

I’m going to make these today! There perfect! Yes I watch food network, kind of obsessed with it!! 🙂

These are my kind of recipe! I am always creating simple recipes myself and have yet to do a Oatmeal Cookie, this will work and I love how you just whipped it up.

Food network I watch yes and no…It depends, some of it is just overboard!

Yummm these look good. I just made your deep dish cookie pie last night and I am absolutely amazed at how incredible it is! It was the first recipe of yours I’ve made, and will be making many more of your recipes!

I watch Food Network & Cooking Channel obsessively. I don’t cook the vast majority of what I watch but I find it very relaxing, and it gives me tons of ideas for my own recipes.

I love watching the cooking challenge type shows, i.e Top Chef. If I do watch the regular food network shows, I have to record them so I can fast forward thru the commercials and the banter and the segments I don’t care to watch so that I can basically watch a 30 min episode in about 7 mins 🙂

Great looking cookies!

Awww…my dad’s FAVORITE kind of cookies are oatmeal raisin (and molasses)!! When I am back in the states, I’m going to make these for him ASAP!! 🙂

I love chopped!!! Such a great show!! The stuff they come up with is AMAZING!

These cookies look amazing and you are adorable 🙂
I love how few ingredients there are in these cookies, I cannot wait to try them out. I especially love your pooch’s face lurking in the background of that one photo. Too cute.

Just made these today. My kids and I loved them! Super yummy!!! Thank you!

So simple! I can’t wait to try these out!

So many gluten free cookie recipes involve creating the perfect flour ratio out of flours that are not typically found in my kitchen. I love how these are made with such normal ingredients!

Chopped is one of my FAVORITE shows!!! I bet you’d beat them all if you starred in the show. 🙂

So in the time since my above post, I made these and tasted them. I omitted the white sugar and they’re still great! Just what I was wanting:)

I made them, I ate them, I love them! Great recipe! I switched up the second batch I made and added dried cranberries!

These sound so easy! Great idea!

Look at that doggie! 🙂
I used to watch the Food Network all the time when I was in college. That’s when Emeril was new and everyone was obsessed with him. I watched Duff when his show first came on, because he went to my college and the bakery is right downtown. Now I really just watch Chopped – I LOVE that show! I also watch The Next Food Network Star when that’s on.

Yummy! I love cookies!

These cookies are simply excellent!! I just had one and am eating another right now. I reduced the total sugar to 2 tbsp (saves…15-20g sugar? Haha ^^) and upped the raisin amount to 1/4 cup! Awesome cookies!!

http://milk-and-tea.blogspot.com

These are soooo good. And super easy! I’m definitely making these again!

Awesome as usual! Is it bad they were eaten before my 4friend yo had any? Guess ill have to make again 😉

I made these the day you posted them and they are really really delicious! I wouldn’t even need a “real” one since I think they taste exactly the same! Kudos! I added a couple chocolate chips for enhancement… 😉

Just made these for my son and I who are both gluten free. Thank you for the recipe! Delicious!! Keep the gf recipes coming! 🙂

These cookies are addictive! Even my husband, who is NOT fond of “healthy” food loves them. I didn’t have raisins, but did have dried blueberries in the pantry so subbed those — Delicious! Thank you!!

Oats actually contain gluten

Thank you so much for these…my doc has me ‘trying’ gluten-free for a while, she thinks I’m just wheat intolerant. I have been do quite well – my hubby bought me a GF chocolate torte from a local baker & it was so good, but sometimes my sweet tooth wants something w/o chocolate, so there is still some in the freezer. My fav cookie is oatmeal-raisin & when my mom called from an excellent bakery to see what kind of cookies to bring my kids, she listed oat-raisin & I started craving them. Today as the kids were eating their cookies (not oat-raisin, thankfully) I decided to go online & search. I found you right away. They are so good, but mine are not very cookie like, they fall apart. I added 1 1/2 T of milk, do you think that was too much? Also, I love vanilla in my oat-raisin cookie, I do not bake very often, so tweaking recipes is not my thing. Could I add vanilla, & if so how much & what would it replace? I am so happy to have these, tomorrow my mom’s group is having a group b-day party, I’ll eat a few of these before I leave & take some fruit to eat at the ‘party’ & I won’t feel like I am missing out on anything. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!

These look good, but I thought that oats had gluten in them?

Hey katie , I just recently discovered your blog and I loove it!
This recipe sounds awesome, but i was wonder if I could substitute the brown and white sugar for a 1/4 cup of mashed banana or apple puree?

I wanted to let you know this is my favorite recipe of yours that I have tried so far. This last time I made these I added 1 tsp. of cinnamon (to a triple recipe) and that made them even more delicious!! Thanks for the great recipes!

Well.. I just made these yesterday as her recipe described and mine didn’t yield a lot, even though i doubled the batch.. Today, I fiddled with this recipe just a bit..

Preheat oven to 375 (same as Katie’s) and bake for 7-8 minutes.. Or longer if you like yours a little bit crispy 🙂 My doubled recipe yielded about 17 cookies.. and I used a 1 TBS scooper

1 1/2 cups oatmeal (not instant.. use old fashioned)
1/2 tsp baking soda (makes the cookie tender)
1/4 tsp baking powder (makes the cookie fluffy)
4 TBS brown sugar
1 TBS raw sugar
pinch of salt

Blend those ingredients in a blender or food processor… Blend for about 1 minute
Then, dump those contents into a bowl, with:

1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp cinnamon
2 TBS almond milk
2 TBS butter
4 TBS raisins (or more if you’d like..)

Mix all ingredients together- well.. bake as directed..

I also made a YUMMMYY cinnamon meringue topping (almost like icing but fat free! and almost no calories!!) for my cookies! TO DIE FOR!!!

I don’t have white sugar at home. I only have coconut sugar. Can i use that instead?

These cookies are amazing!!!! Love your site!!!!

Hi Katie, what’s the ‘T’ in your ingredients measurement (eg. 2 T raisins)? Thanks.

I’m a gf vegan living in a third-world country at the moment, and I’ve really been craving North American baked goods…cookies, cakes, etc. However, I only have very simple ingredients available to me (and no measuring utensils), so I’ve been in a bit of a pinch. These cookies totally made my day. I had most of the ingredients, I was able to eyeball the measurements, and they still turned out great. lol I have to admit that I ate the first batch all by myself (the second and third batches got shared though). Thanks so much for posting simple, healthy, gf recipes! I’m so delighted to have found your blog. 🙂

My 3 year old son just ate a whole batch of these for breakfast!

My cookies are really extremely soft should I have them rest longer or am I doing something else wrong.

Thank you! I made these and they were delicious!!!! Next time I will at least double the batch though, since they are already gone! Yum.

Hi! I’ve made these cookies for my mom and dad 3 times and every time they have turned out wonderful! I’m 11 and I love baking! When I’m grown up I am going to have my own restaurant 🙂 So far, I have 1 recipe so far, it’s for gluten-free, vegan, blueberry apple muffins. Thanks for sharing your recipes, I have read just about everyone of them!
Love, Anastasia 🙂 🙂 🙂

I LOVE these cookies. They are so easy to make and they work great for when I feel lazy. These taste a lot like Lucy’s Oatmeal Cookies but without the chemical/processed aftertaste. YUM YUM YUM.

Making these right now. I added vanilla and cinnamon and use regular old cow milk. A double batch yielded only a bakers’ dozen normal sized cookies. If they taste half as good as the spoon did I may have to make more! I am going to sub honey for white sugar next time.

I made these and some fudge babies for my family last week and we all loved them! I love your blog and all your recipes! Thank you 🙂

I am in love your blog and these cookies. I made a post on my blog http://pastrywizard.blogspot.com/ about them (giving you credit of course). Thought you’d like to see how they came out. 🙂

I just wanted to share that we put on a showing of the movie Forks Over Knives and we did a tasting after the movie of plant based foods. I made these cookies and they were so easy, tasted so good and fit the bill with being vegan and gluten free. Thank you for all your wonderful recipes, we have fun trying new ones as they all look so yummy.

I made these out of desperation. We have hadmany failed attempts at gluten free/vegan cookies, so thanks for the recipe. These were so good we immediately made another batch adding more healthy stuff in (hemp seeds, sunflower seeds, ground flax seed, coconut oil for half the oil), then another batch with all the extras and less sugar. Unbelievable! I nanny for a five and three year old. They helped make these and helped make them disappear 😉
Healthyish cookies that taste awesome… In the words of the five year old “You Rock!”

Thankyou for your hard work; you change our lives for the better every single day!

Katie, I love all of your recipes! My boyfriend isn’t a huge fan of chocolate chips 🙁 I know what you’re thinking, how weird!!! I was just curious to see if you can tell me what modifications I should make to the Cookie Cake for an oatmeal-raisin version. Thanks!

I’ve been looking for a flourless oatmeal cookie recipe forever! I’m elated you have posted this recipe and I can’t wait to try!

In your cookie recipes … what does ‘T’ stand for ?
2 T of this or 1 T of that … ?

( Stupid English, yeah ? ).

Thank you,

Chris M.

Hey Katie!

Can I swap out rolled oats for instant oats?

Cheers!

I loved these cookies! I don’t like raisins, so I left those out and added 1/4 t each of cinnamon and vanilla! Really delicious and SO easy! Thank you Katie for another great recipe!

I thank you for the gluten free recipe. I love oatmeal raisin cookies but haven’t found a gluten free one until now. I have a gluten free peanut butter cookie recipe that is the best peanut butter tasting cookie I have ever had. It just happened to be gluten free.
1 cup peanut butter
1 cup sugar
1 egg
1 tsp. vanilla
Mix all together and bake at 350 degrees. This is not a vegan recipe. I just noticed that.
But it is simple and tasty.

Thanks for another awesome recipe, Katie. Made a triple batch of these tonight after we ran out of butter and they were devoured. My 5 year old told me that I was the best ‘cooker’. Thanks for making me look good. 🙂

Katie:
I predict you will rise to great fame. I’ve enjoyed following your recipes and I’m looking forward to getting your cookbook in the mail. My kids are both type 1 diabetics (meaning they are insulin-dependent and they did *nothing* to get this disease), and I appreciate your hard work in finding ways to substitute bleached flour & refined sugar with healthier ingredients.

Katie I’ve been trying your recipes out for a while now always with great success. I somehow missed this recipe but girl….you are nothing short of genius!! Congrats on the success of your book and may your tribe increase !!! Thanks for sharing your recipes and passion with the rest of us xo

Hi…just want to say thank you for this great recipe…I have been making them for over a year now and they are my go-to easy oat cookie recipe. I make mine with mini chocolate chips, and sometimes other add-ins. Mine don’t look like yours, as mine are about 1 1-2″ across and more of a dome shaped cookie, but they taste great and always turn out well. Thank you so much!

Hello, this sounds like an incredible recipe that I can’t wait to make but was just wondering how many calories per cookie? Thankyou very much 🙂 x

Wow these look amazing!! i have to try them soon 🙂

Hi ! I made these cookies with very minor changes and turned it into a vegan one !! We loved it a lot n am sure to make these very often now.. Flourless recipes never tasted better .. Thanks a bunch

I love oatmeal cookies, so definitely going to try this recipe. I usually add powdered cinammon and cloves to them though- it makes the cookies taste amazing!

Cinnamon surger is a great topping

If I wanted to add cinnamon and vanilla, how much would I add?

These were great! I had my doubts when I put them on the cookie sheet, thought I was going to end up with granola. But, the sugar must have held them together! Very tasty and easy, I added a sprinkle of cinnamon. I needed to bake mine a couple of extra. I have a gluten, dairy and caffeine (sadly that meant giving up chocolate) allergy so I was pleasantly surprised to find this un-chocolate recipe on your blog. Might try it again with chocolate chips for my family though.

These are so good!!! I used coconut oil and coconut milk with GF oats. So quick and easy. Now I want to eat them all! ?

FYI, I just made these for a cookout for my son’s baseball team and people were raving about these cookies. I did add 1/4 tsp of cinnamon. I also made your ‘Best Chocolate Chip’ cookies sans the nuts and both were devoured.

Hi! Trader Joe’s has a GF oatmeal cookie recipe on the back of their package of rolled oats. If you know this recipe or could look at it, what do you think about substituting agave syrup for all or part of the brown or the white sugar? The recipe calls for 3/4 cup of each. There’s no liquid in this recipe, and agave requires a reduction of liquid, so would you recommend using a little arrowroot or cornstarch? (I sent an email of this question to TJ’s web site and they just said for every cup of sugar to use 2/3 c. agave and to reduce the recipe’s liquid by 1/4 cup, but that doesn’t apply to this recipe because it has no liquid.) Thank you. If you respond, would you please send a copy of it to my email in case I miss your reply online?

Please specify that this recipe is only gluten free if gluten free oats are used. Regular oats are a gluten containing food.

These are absolutely delicious!! They were a little crumbly right after taking them out of the oven, but all other oatmeal cookies I have tried are like that. I let them sit for around 10-15 minutes on the pan and they were just perfect! I think I might triple ( or quadruple) the recipe next time, as I ate three before they even cooled down!
