It’s the comfort food of ice cream – Like a warm oatmeal cookie, straight out of the oven, splashed with milk and dusted with cinnamon sweetness. Imagine your favorite cookie churned into sweet, creamy ice cream and scooped high onto a cone. Your tastebuds say “oatmeal cookie,” but your eyes will know better.
Oatmeal Cookie Ice Cream!
Oatmeal Cookie Ice Cream
(gluten-free!)
Inspired by my trip to Lula’s
- 2 2/3 cups milk of choice, or creamer (640g)
- 1/3 cup oat flour (45g) (If you don’t have oat flour, just grind rolled oats to powder in a blender. Measure after blending.)
- *just* under level 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp baking soda (for flavor; can be omitted)
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/3 cup raisins (45g)
- 1/2 cup coconut sugar or brown sugar (Date sugar would probably work too.) (80g)
- 2 nunaturals stevia packets, or 1/16 tsp uncut (or omit and add 3 extra tbsp sugar)
- 2 tbsp “butter” of choice, such as Earth Balance or Smart Balance Light (See nutrition link below, for all substitution notes on this recipe)
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
Combine all ingredients except vanilla (Do include the raisins), and whisk until smooth. Microwave 3 1/2 minutes, whisk again, then microwave another 2 minutes. (Or you can heat on the stovetop, stirring occasionally, until it thickens.) Add the vanilla, then chill in the fridge until the mixture is cold again (about 4 hours). See “nutrition info” link below if you don’t have an ice cream maker. Otherwise, pour into your ice cream maker and churn. (It took 15 minutes in my Cuisinart.) Transfer to an airtight container, and chill in the freezer for an hour or so, until true ice-cream consistency is reached.

Vote: Chocolate Chip or Oatmeal Raisin??
For cookies, I’d probably go with chocolate-chip. But I might like this oatmeal-raisin ice cream even better than cookie dough ice cream. It’s that good.

YUM!! I am so intrigued by this recipe! I cannot wait to try it!
Julie says
Have you read what Tropical Traditions has to say about coconut sugar? You really need to read it if you haven’t already.

Just finished a bowl of this. Recipe is spot on. Tastes exactly like oatmeal cookies. Yum!
Kathleen says
Tastes really good–only, it is hard as a rock, I followed the directions exactly (including ice-cream machines instructions). Also- I made two batches and in one I added a whole can of pumpkin and chocolate chips and pumpkin pie spice (I would triple the amount of spice next time though bc I barely could taste it). It tasted it really good right out of the ice-cream machine.

Hi Kathleen,
Homemade ice creams usually get hard once frozen overnight, because of the lack of stabilizers. But no worries! Just thaw a little before eating, and it’s the perfect consistency again :).
Hannah says
This recipe looks great! However, my husband and I just use honey and maple syrup for sweetening, so we couldn’t do the brown sugar. Do you think either of these would work? Thanks!
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
Sorry, I haven’t tried so I really don’t know.
Christie W says
This recipe is delicious! I decided to see if I could tweak it to make a chocolate chip cookie ice cream, and it turned out even MORE delicious than I could’ve imagined. All I did was use whole wheat flour and leave out the cinnamon and raisins. Then, I waited to add the chocolate chips until the ice cream was almost done in the machine to mix in for the last few minutes. I highly recommend it 🙂
Anya says
Katie, the oatmeal raisin ice cream was AMAZING but it got me thinking… Have you considered Rum Raisin Ice Cream?? What about a recipe using rum extract, coconut extract, dark and golden raisins, maybe a few walnuts and some low fat almond milk??
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
Yes, I am definitely working on it! 🙂
Amelia says
Made this with my new ice cream maker last night…. super delicious! I half choc chips and half raisins and honestly I wish I’d just done full raisin!
mrsblocko says
This recipe rocked. I wrote about it here. Thank you so much!
Libby says
Yum!
Caroline says
Yum, this was a huge hit with the whole family last night! I used half&half (not vegan), 1/2 brown sugar, 1/2 sucanat, and no stevia. It was very creamy and almost too sweet because of the raisins. Next time I’ll cut the sugar and try the chocolate chip substitution.
