Ready for cool parent status? Cookies for breakfast! No I haven't lost my mind, I've just come up with a new recipe that is healthy enough for a once in awhile dessert for breakfast day. Otherwise, after dinner is perfect too. Read on and get the recipe for my gluten free oatmeal chocolate chip cookies!
The key ingredients to these cookies are Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free Steel Cut Oats and Stonyfield Grassfed Yogurt. The Steel Cut oats give the texture of nutty cookies without the nuts. And they are a good source of fiber and offer 7 grams of protein per serving. Stonyfield's grassfed yogurt has a flavorful and unique taste that comes from cows grazing on 100% grass.
Gluten Free Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies
Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cups Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free Steel Cut Oats
- 1 1/2 cups Gluten free flour
- 1 Banana, ripe
- 1 Egg
- 1 tsp Baking powder
- 1 tsp Baking soda
- 1/2 tsp Cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 3/4 Organic brown sugar
- 1/4 cup Organic cane sugar
- 1 cup Chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup Stonyfield Grassfed Yogurt Plain
- 1/4 cup of Organic milk**
**I added milk to the mixture because gluten free flour causes batters to be pretty stiff. If you are using regular flour the milk may not be needed. That is why it is added last so you can judge your batter for yourself.
Directions
- Preheat the over to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, mash the banana and add the egg, both sugars, yogurt, and vanilla. Whisk to combine.
- Add the banana mixture to the bowl with the flour, stirring until combined.
- Add in the oats, chocolate chips, and milk.
- Line your baking sheets with parchment paper. (Or aluminum foil if you ran out of parchment paper halfway through baking! Oy!)
- Using a large spoon or ice cream scoop, scoop the cookie dough out into 1-2inch balls, spaced about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 12 minutes until the cookies are slightly golden brown. They do not flatten on their own. I flattened them with my spatula before taking out of the oven. Test with a toothpick to check to see if the middle has cooked through.
- Allow to cool for 5 minutes then enjoy with a nice glass of organic milk!

I have never thought about using yogurt as a cookie ingredient! Greek yogurt would really add a punch of protein – and I love that you used bananas as a fat replacer. I’m bookmarking this.
Thank you! It is my first time trying yogurt in cookies, so tasty!
We don’t limit our gluten but this is a great recipe to make for parties since you never know people’s dietary restrictions. Thanks for sharing this cookie recipe
I find that glueten free food has a strange texture. How do you feel about this recipe? I’ve made gluten free pizza dough and I wasn’t really a fan.
As someone who recently had to switch to gluten free, I understand what you are saying. I don’t like the weird, dense, gluten free taste either. The flour I use is a 1 for 1 substitution and it tastes great. No weird texture here. It is Arrowhead Mills Heritage Blend
OH! This is a great party idea. I totally agree with Maria on this one.
Love your recipe! We’ve been looking for new gluten free recipes! Can’t wait to try this one!
I’ll be right over fro cookies adn milk. These look amazing and if the kids like them then they must be good. save me a cookie please.
Liek Nikki said above I’m always weary about gluten free and texture, I’ve had some good things (doughnuts) and some bad (pizza dough). This looks good though. Do you think the texture was “weird”?
I just replied to Nikki, these definitely do not have that weird gluten free taste or texture. I’m with you, it is gross! The flour I use is a 1 for 1 substitution and it tastes great. It is Arrowhead Mills Heritage Blend
We don’t limit our gluten but my kids share cookies with friends that do. This would be perfect so everyone gets a treat!
Mmm those look so delish! I’m a total oatmeal cookie nut. I need to bake a batch STAT!
Ooh, these look really delicious. My two prefer gluten free cookies so I’ll definitely have to give making them a try 🙂
