  1. Could I use oat flour as the “gluten free flour” in these cookies?

  2. Oats aren’t gluten free

    Deceptive article, dangerous to those with a newly developed gluten allergy

    Shame

  3. can’t wait to try the recipe, thank you!

    The taste is pretty good, but I am not sure what I did wrong. I am wondering if there is another liquid ingredient that doesn’t show up for me. Following the directions, my mixture was very dry and could not be formed into balls. I added about a half a cup of flax milk (the kind I had on hand) a little bit at a time, until I could form it into balls. The cookies remained in balls and did not melt into more flat, regular cookie shapes when baked. I might have added more flax milk? As a result, they are “okay,” but not as good as other oatmeal chip cookies I have baked.

  6. is it okay to leave out the shredded coconut or does it need a replacement please let me know
