Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies (with allergy-friendly options)

I don’t know who the first person was to combine warm oats with chocolate chips, but whoever it was, they were genius! It’s quite possibly the best combination in the history of food, don’t you think?

A few years ago, a friend of mine gave me her recipe for homemade oatmeal chocolate chip cookies after I raved about them. They. are. divine. Even after making some changes to accommodate our food allergy issues, they are still divine. I made this allergy-friendly version a few weeks ago for our small group and they were devoured!

Why have a great recipe if you can’t share it with friends, right? So I’m passing it on to you. You might just want to whip some of these up for the weekend. (And if you’re in the neighborhood, feel free to drop a few off to me. We’re all out. :))

Food allergy notes (the following contains affiliate links):
*Replace coconut oil with 1/2 cup shortening and 1/2 cup butter.
**Instead of eggs, we use Ener-G Egg Replacer
***For wheat/gluten allergy, replace with your favorite gluten-free option. (If you have a suggestion, I’d love for you to leave a comment and tell me about it. Thanks!)
****We use Enjoy Life Semi-Sweet Chocolate Mini Chips . They are made in a dedicated allergen-free facility.

Whew! Did you get all that? (Sometimes food allergy stuff makes my head spin.)

Now, pop some of these in the oven, put on some coffee (or pour a nice, big glass of cold milk) and enjoy!

  1. A gluten-free diet might also exclude oats. Medical practitioners are divided on whether oats are acceptable to celiac disease sufferers or whether they become cross-contaminated in milling facilities by other grains.;,*.
