Expert Tips

Double the batch – If you are serving a crowd or want to have cookies on hand, go ahead and double or triple the batch. Keep them airtight in the freezer, and they will last up to 3 months.
Don’t overmix the cookie dough. Once the dough is barely mixed together, it’s ready to bake. Overmixing will lead to a dry cookie that breaks apart easily.
Room temperature is best. Before making the cookies, place the egg on the counter for about 30 minutes to an hour. Room temperature ingredients are the key to the perfect baked goods!

Are These Cookies Gluten Free?

No, they have all purpose flour which does have gluten. However, you could swap the flour for your favorite gluten free baking blend. While I haven’t tried it, I am sure it would work well.

Also, be sure when you are buying oats that you look for ones that are certified gluten free. Otherwise, there could be some cross contamination at the factory and they could have trace amounts of gluten.

What Kind of Oats Do I Use?

To achieve the proper texture, I recommend using rolled oats. They are bulky enough to withstand being baked and they bind well with the other ingredients.

In a pinch, you could use minute oats, but the texture is going to be a little different. They tend to absorb the liquid ingredients more, and they are usually a little more dry.

Do I Need To Grease The Cookie Sheet?

No need to grease the baking sheet. You could line the baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mats for easy cleanup. Either way, they shouldn’t stick because of the oil in the cookies.

Can I Add Chocolate Chips?

Yes, absolutely! Feel free to add chocolate chips, M&Ms, cranberries, coconut, nuts, or raisins to these diabetic oatmeal cookies. After you prepare the batter, fold in ¼ – ½ cup of the ingredients of your choice.
