So please, do yourself a favor and get at it. No fancy pants techniques and you can whip these out in under 20 minutes. And even better, they are incredibly easy to make. It doesn’t taste like a flax and coconut cookie. Don’t worry though, you can’t even tell those ingredients are included which means your kids won’t either.
I took a bit of inspiration from my own old fashioned breakfast No’tmeal recipe, which essentially uses both of those. And want to know what the secret ingredients are? Ground flax and unsweetened shredded coconut. I’m happy to say, that after a few batches I nailed it! A perfect no’tmeal cookie! They’re chewy and oatmeal-y and comforting. And gosh darn it, if I want a cookie it better taste like… a cookie. I know, what a thing to say but that’s the best way I can describe them. I’ve tried a few but they tasted so… paleo. But recreating the taste and texture without the oats and gluten proved to be tricky. In my mind, it’s the quintessential cookie.
I love the warm, chewy, cinammon-y comfort they offer. Oatmeal cookies have always been my favorite cookie. In fact, some say it’s even better than the real deal. And since I’m a sucker, I now present you with hands-down the best paleo, grain-free, no-oatmeal, oatmeal cookie you’ll ever have. What to do?Īt the end of the day, it’s just a silly recipe, so I put it into the hands of my Instagram followers and overwhelmingly people said to post the recipe. On the other hand, I know a lot of people missed my post and really just want a damn good grain-free oatmeal cookie recipe. On one hand, I promised it would be a “thank you” to all of those who subscribed to my newsletter and I didn’t want to go back on that and turn into a recipe-promising charlatan. Well, a lot of people missed out and started emailing me for the recipe. With that being said, I recently sent this recipe out to my email subscribers as a newsletter exclusive. Although, I have never wired any money to an ambassador in Africa in order to collect my long lost oil inheritance. The bring-a-cute-puppy-home (*cough* Ike), give someone money in a concert parking lot for something related to yoga (I think it was yoga related? I couldn’t really understand what she was talking about so I just gave her a $20) and fall hook, line and sinker for a good sob story. It’s gluten-free, easy-to-make, and some say, better than the real thing. This Grain-Free No’tmeal Cookie recipe from The Whole Smiths is the ultimate gluten-free, no oatmeal, oatmeal cookie.
