Gluten Free Oats = Gluten Free Oatmeal Cookies!

After going wheat/gluten free, I was terrified that cookies would be ruined forever. Enter Bob’s Red Mill. This company has so many A+ vegan and gluten free options that have completely restored my faith.

It can be very difficult to find oats that aren’t produced in a facility or on machinery that is shared with wheat/gluten. So these gluten free oats are a game changer. I use them in everything from overnight oats for breakfast to homemade granola bars. And now, these gluten free oatmeal cookies!

Because who doesn’t love chewy, brown sugar-y, oatmeal cookies? And what better to top these off than a soy free smear of melted chocolate?

Chocolate Smear

If the question is “chocolate smear?” the answer is always yes. These gluten free oatmeal cookies are no exception. Of course, I could’ve just thrown these delectably, soy free, chocolate chips into the cookie batter and called it a day. But there is something so indulgent about smearing melted chocolate over cookies. It’s something I can’t say no to.

These soy free chips are hands down, my favorite baking chocolate.
