Skinny Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies (Gluten Free) – these gluten free goodies are packed full of oats and dark chocolateĀ and containĀ no butter, refined sugar, or flour!
Oats and chocolate are probably my all-time favorite cookie combo.Ā Ā Ā Hold the raisins, I’ll take chocolate instead!Ā These cookies are chewy, sweet, and full of nutty oats and rich chocolate.Ā They make the perfect afternoon snack or healthier sweet treat for your kid’s lunchbox.Ā I think you could even go so far as to call them a breakfast cookie! š
Ditch the processed cookies and packaged granola bars! It’s so easy to make your own healthier treats at home that are nutrient dense with fiber-rich oats and healthy fats from coconut oil. For this recipe, I lightened up a traditional oatmeal cookieĀ by eliminating the butter and replacing refined sugar with pure maple syrup.Ā Ā Oats and oat flour stand in for the white flour to makeĀ them whole grain and gluten free.Ā If I’m not making my own oat flour in the food processor, I love Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free Oat Flour.
How to Make Gluten Free Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies
Begin by making your oat flour (if you’re not using store bought.) Place 2-3 cups of oats in a high speed blender or food processor and pulse until the oats are finely ground, resembling a flour consistency.
Combine all the dry ingredients in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, combine the wet ingredients and whisk well.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry and mix well. Stir in the chocolate chips. Refrigerate the dough for at least 15 minutes.
Scoop dough onto a baking sheet and bake at 325 degrees.

I’ve always been skeptical of desserts with refined calories and sugar, but these cookies really proved me wrong! Excellent recipe.
Thanks, Elizabeth! So glad you enjoyed the recipe!
Love this! Been looking for a good oatmeal cookie recipe! My toddler loves these too! I subbed the maple syrup with some agave and date syrup to be honest and they turned out great!
Thanks, Angie! Great suggestion!
Hi, can I sub the oats with oat flour? So use 2 1/4 cups of oat flour?
I think that would work just fine!
Could I just use an extra tbsp of maple syrup to replace the honey?
Yes, of course!
I actually made these in bar form with some icing drizzle, came out so so so so good.
*just used a tad bit less baking soda
I just made these cookies and their delicious!
I found these cookies to be a little dry and they kind of fell apart after cooking. Any suggestions on how to help them hold together a little better?
Taste is AMAZING!! Just wanting it to be less crumbly š
Cookies turned out well. I did honey instead of maple syrup. I think the next time I make them and might not add cinnamon with the chocolate chips or if I add cinnamon Iād add raisins instead of chocolate chips.
Thanks for the great and really simple recipe. I replaced the maple syrup with 1/3 cup sugar-free maltitol syrup + 1/3 cup apple sauce. It was very tasty. As I did not add any chocolate chips. I will add next time 1/2 cup of apple sauce and some more syrup to make the cookies a bit softer and sweeter.
