    Oatmeal Pumpkin Spice Cookies for Dairy-Free, Gluten-Free Baking

    2
    By Alisa Fleming on November 29, 2020 Dairy Free Desserts, Dairy-Free Recipes

    It’s always cookie season, in my opinion, but December is when sweet biscuit baking kicks into high gear. We already have more than a dozen dairy-free Christmas cookie recipes in our collection, but it never hurts to add one more! This year, Jessica Mitton is sharing one of her favorites with us, dairy-free and gluten-free oatmeal pumpkin spice cookies.

    Oatmeal Pumpkin Spice Cookies for Dairy-Free, Gluten-Free Baking

    Some Good Sweet Treats Cookbook by Jessica MittonThis recipe for oatmeal pumpkin spice cookies is a sample from Jessica’s cookbook, Some Good Sweet Treats. It’s a full-color dessert collection that’s dairy-free, gluten-free, and refined sugar-free! The recipes include quick breads, various chocolate goodies, muffins, cakes, crumbles, toppings, and of course, cookies!

    Jessica makes these cookies with simple, everyday ingredients, that you can find in most dairy-free, gluten-free kitchens. Nonetheless, I know some of you have even more restrictions, so I’ve put together some options.

    Substitution Suggestions for these Oatmeal Pumpkin Spice Cookies

    These are our tips for adapting the recipe to various special diet needs.

    • Not gluten-free? You should be able to use all-purpose flour in place of the brown rice flour with good results.
    • Want to use another gluten-free flour? Most grain-based flours, like sorghum or millet flour, will work in a pinch. But do not use coconut flour. It will not work. Almond flour might work, but the results will definitely be different, and you’ll need to adjust the cook time and possibly the ingredient ratios.
    • Need egg-free? See our Egg Substitution Guide to find your best options.
    • What about nut-free? You can substitute another tasty add-in for the pecans, like dairy-free chocolate chips, raisins, or pumpkin seeds.
    • Is coconut-free possible? Yes, most baking oils will work in place of the coconut oil. The cookies just won’t set up as firmly when cool. You can also substitute brown sugar or evaporated cane sugar for the coconut sugar.

      Thank you! Thank you! I have to be gluten free, along with my dairy issues too. I love oatmeal cookies and will sometimes have one for breakfast when I’m not at all hungry. I love pumpkin too, so this is perfect for me! I’m going to use finely ground brown rice flour because I find regular brown rice flour too gritty. I don’t think that will change the consistency. I hope.
