Gluten-Free Oatmeal Cookies
Description
The cookies rely on ripe bananas and applesauce to hold the oats and other ingredients together, creating a dough that bakes into chewy, tender cookies with a mild sweetness from the fruit. The cinnamon adds warmth, while the optional raisins or chocolate chips contribute texture and distinct flavor notes.
Baking at 350°F until set but not overly browned ensures the cookies retain moisture and a soft crumb. Cooling on a rack after a brief rest on the sheet develops the final texture, preventing sogginess.
These cookies make a convenient snack or breakfast option, suitable for those avoiding gluten. They can be stored in the refrigerator to maintain freshness and also freeze well for longer storage, keeping their texture and flavor intact after reheating.
Using a cookie scoop helps create uniform cookie sizes for even baking.
Ingredients
- 3 banana
- 1/3 cup applesauce
- 2 cup oats
- 3 tablespoons milk
- 1 tablespoon vanilla
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 cup raisins or chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Peel and mash bananas in a large mixing bowl.

- Use a cookie scoop or drop by rounded tablespoon onto a greased cookie sheet. Bake 15-20 minutes.
- Cool for 2-3 minutes, then remove cookies to wire racks to cool completely.
Notes
- Store cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week to maintain freshness.
- For longer storage, freeze cookies individually on a baking sheet before transferring to a freezer bag; keep frozen up to three months.
- Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness and moisture, and choose raisins or chocolate chips according to preference.
- Preheating the oven to 350°F ensures even baking and proper texture development.
