These Gluten-Free Dairy-Free Oatmeal Raisin Cookies are so chewy, thick, and delicious, no one ever guesses they’re not ‘regular cookies! They’re deliciously spiced with cinnamon and a hint of nutmeg and chock full of raisins.

It’s hard to say who enjoys these yummy cookies more – the kids or mom and dad!

Gluten-free, dairy-free Oatmeal Raisin Cookies are so chewy, thick, and delicious, no one ever guesses they're not 'regular cookies! This kid-favorite recipe is deliciously spiced with cinnamon and a hint of nutmeg and chock full of raisins. this idea now...

There are many tasty gluten-free oatmeal cookie recipes online, but it’s harder to find a good recipe that’s also dairy-free.

Because a couple of my kids need to avoid dairy, I ended up doing what I often do: spending a few hours in the kitchen creating my own recipe. It took me about 8 batches to perfect this Gluten-Free Dairy-Free Oatmeal Raisin Cookies recipe and we all love the result.

Gluten-Free Dairy-Free Oatmeal Raisin Cookies are just as easy to make as regular cookies and don’t require any fancy ingredients other than coconut oil, which you probably already have in your kitchen anyways. If you’re like me, you might even buy multiple large containers of coconut oil every month!

But anyways, these Oatmeal Raisin Cookies are a great recipe to have your kids help you make. At the very least, they can add the raisins at the end. In fact, it was my kids who suggested adding extra raisins to this recipe and I didn’t see any reason why not.

        Do you have flaxseeds or chia seeds? I’ve heard that grinding one or both up may work as a substitute for xanthan gum.

      Can you use almond flour for gluten free flour blend?

      Reply

        No, almond flour has a different consistency than a gluten-free flour blend and the cookies will not come out the same. (Likely dense and hard.)
