We’re seeing more and more kids these days with food allergies. I hope and pray that a cure for these ailments comes soon, but until then it’s so important to not make these kids feel stigmatized and allow them to feel like kids by offering them a wide variety of treats that little ones can enjoy, whether they have food allergies or not.
These cookies fit into a ton of different categories being nut, gluten, egg and dairy free, but most of all they are everything a cookie should be_ moist, sweet and irresistible. And I call that the delicious category!
Gluten-Free Vegan Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon ground flax seed
- 3 tablespoons water
- 2 cups gluten free old fashioned oats
- 1 cup gluten free all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 stick (1/2 cup) vegan butter, softened (I used Earth’s Balance)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup raisins
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the flax and water. Let sit for 2 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the oats, flour, cinnamon, baking soda and salt.
- In the bowl of a standing mixer, or with an electric mixer, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the flax mixture and vanilla extract and stir until combined.
- Gradually add the flour mixture until just combined. Add the raisins and stir to thoroughly combine.
- Using a 2 tablespoon measure, place cookie dough onto Silpat or parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.

For everyone suffering from food allergies: I suffered for 7 years!!! It started out that I was just allergic to 3 things and it grew from there to an extremely long list over the years and I was sick all the time. I was recently treated with the process called Advanced Allergy Theraputics and it was like a miracle. I would not have believed it if I did not try it and I feel like I need to tell everyone who is suffering. It changed my life so quickly. http://www.allergytx.com/
King Arthur Flour and Bob’s Red Mill both have them!
Where do you find gluten free flour and oats? What brands make them? Can you find them organic? We’re new to the gluten free world, so any advice is appreciated.
Hello! These are really tasty before being cooked, but after cooking them, they are a bit hard and loose taste – what to do?

Hmm that’s a great question! I haven’t tested them that way, but I think coconut oil would work if you could use it in it’s solid form, then you could more easily “cream” it together with the sugar. I would probably use half the amount of the butter called for or increase the flour a bit to get them to the right consistency. Hope this helps! Let me know if you make them this way and how they turn out!
Can you substitute coconut oil for the vegan butter? If so, do you think equal parts?
Thanks so much for all your allergy-friendly recipes! I truly appreciate the effort you make to include recipes for all different dietary needs, even though you don’t have to! You do a great job!
