Gluten Free Oatmeal Banana Chocolate Chip Cookies

Welcome to the Sunday Fitness & Food Link-Up! This week I am sharing one of my favorite cookie recipes with a bit of a spin. I decided to play around in the kitchen and see if I could make a Gluten Free version of Oatmeal Banana Chocolate Chip Cookies. I was also curious what would happen if I substituted a Coconut Sugar for Granulated Sugar. The Results? I could Not keep anyone out of the Cookie Jar this weekend!

  1. I'm loving the look of those cookies rushes to the shop to buy the ingredients thanks for sharing - popping by from www.easypeasy-lemonsqueezy.co.uk Cx

  2. Thank you so much for hosting! I would love for you to visit Over the Moon so I can return the favor! Have a great week.

  3. These cookies look amazing! Banana?? What a fabulous idea! Thanks for sharing on the "What's for Dinner" blog hop!

  4. I love these cookies!! The combination of flavors is definitely for me. We don't have here GF roll-oats, but I could always make it with regular roll-oats :)

    1. Yes, you can absolutely use the regular oats. You can also just use regular flour instead of the Brown Rice & Coconut Flour (omit the Xantham Gum if you do this). Let me know what you think if you give them a try :-)

    1. Thanks Bradleigh! I just switched over from Blogger to Squarepsace... It's a work in progress...;-)

    1. Thanks Annmarie! It's actually just a silicone liner on top of a very old cookie sheet :-) I really like the silicone liners, they work great!!

  5. These cookies look so delicious! I am not much of a cook at all but I do like cookies, does that count? I bet even my family would like these too! Thank you Angela for the link up, I'm a day late. :)

  6. I've never used xantham gum before and not sure what it is?? Thanks for linking up today for Meatless Monday

    1. I meant to include a brief explanation of Xantham Gum :-) It is an ingredient commonly used in Gluten Free Foods to help thicken and bind. I was experimenting, but I think these cookies would probably hold together fine without it! :-)

  7. YUM! I almost made cookies for breakfast and now I wished I would have!
    Thank you for linking up with us for Meatless Monday!

  8. I've never cooked with coconut flour or sugar, but I've read so many good things about both. These cookies definitely look like a great endorsement!

    I host a weekly link party that just went live- I'd love for you to stop by and link up! http://bit.ly/1S8Dsb7

    1. Thanks for the Invite, I just shared 2 posts! Would love for you to join our Sunday Fitness & Food Link-Up as well :-)

  9. Why is it I have no trouble baking GF but dinners are another thing? Thank you so much for linking at #overthemoon! I look forward to seeing what you share every week.

  10. These sound amazing! My husband and I were watching a newleywed tv show the other day and the question was "one thing always makes your wife sad" - when I asked what he would say, he said "not having cookies" haha!

  11. I was just thinking I want to make some cookies this weekend! Maybe I'll pick up the ingredients to make these. They look awesome!

  12. I don't know that I've ever tried gluten free cookies, but it sounds interesting. I love oatmeal cookies and chocolate chip cookies, so adding some yummy banana sounds like it's really a party now!

  13. These sound really good! I just made a batch of oatmeal cookies this week, but the next time I get a craving for them I'll give these a try :D

  14. We just started going GF in our home because my son is showing signs of food allergies. I think he would love this as an after school snack!

  15. I haven't tried coconut sugar in baking. I'll have to check out its nutrition and glycemic index. The cookies look wonderful!

  16. SO MANY GOODIES LINKED UP!! AND COOKIES!!!
    I'm such a sucker for cookies, and that fact that yours are gluten free... that just means more for me. :) I'm trying to cut down on gluten.
