Gluten is a protein found in cereal grains, most typically in wheat flour. Many people find themselves sensitive to gluten in many types of foods.

Can I sub out the raisins in these cookies?

Raisins can be a polarizing ingredient; either you love them or hate them! Feel free to swap out for equal amounts of other dried fruits, such as chopped dates, apricots, cranberries, or prunes.

Yes! Feel free to add ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans to the cookie dough before baking.

Are these cookies plant-based?

No, unfortunately these cookies utilize butter and eggs. Feel free to sub for equal amounts of vegan butter and vegan egg replacer.

What types of flour are gluten-free?

Gluten-free oat flour, chickpea flour, rice flour, tapioca flour, bean flour, almond flour, buckwheat flour, and coconut flour are some of the most popular types of gluten-free flour. Some all-purpose blends contain all of the above!

Author: The Coconut Mama Staff
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 12 minutes
Total Time: 22 minutes
Yield: 12 cookies 1x

Ingredients

1 cup gluten-free oat flour
1 1/2 cups gluten-free rolled oats
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1 pinch salt
1/2 cup melted butter, unsalted
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 egg
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup raisins, plus more for topping cookies

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the oat flour, rolled oats, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Whisk until well combined.
In a separate bowl, add the melted butter and brown sugar. Whisk until the sugar dissolves slightly. Then, add the egg and vanilla. Mix well.
Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients carefully. Add the raisins and mix. Do not overwork the dough!
Using a ¼-cup measuring cup, scoop equal-sized cookies onto a parchment-lined baking sheet spread at least 2-inches apart. Top with additional raisins if desired.
Bake 10-12 minutes until the cookies are lightly browned.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool before enjoying.

Notes

Do not skimp on the cinnamon and nutmeg. Both add a warming spice to these cookies that is so reminiscent of the holidays.

You may need to grease your measuring cup when rolling out the cookies.

Use a parchment-lined baking sheet so that your cookies do not stick to the pan. If you do not have parchment, grease your cookie sheet very well with softened butter.
