Gluten Free Gingerbread Oatmeal Breakfast Cookies (V, GF): an easy recipe for lightly sweet, soft and chewy ginger oatmeal cookies bursting with your favorite warm holiday spices! Vegan, Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free.

Gingerbread: are you a fan? I must admit, I rarely get the chance to enjoy gingerbread. When I was younger, my sister Penny used to take me this famous place in Oakland that sold gingerbread chocolate chip cookies.

They were so incredibly good. And the size of my face. And since when does a dessert of such impressive size not fail to stun?

That place has since closed, so I find myself looking everywhere to my gingerbread fix (once winter rolls around of course). Do you have a favorite form of gingerbread? Gingerbread latte? Gingerbread Cookies? Gingerbread hand lotion? <—fascinating! Tell me more!

Also, to be honest, it was a struggle not to put chocolate chips into this recipe. What can I say? I love chocolate. By the way, feel free to dip an entire half of one Gluten Free Gingerbread Oatmeal Breakfast Cookies into chocolate. Trust me, it’s SO good.

Anyway, ever since I made a batch of Gingerbread Oatmeal Homemade Breakfast Bars for the fam, they haven’t stopped asking for another gingerbread treat.

Since it’s getting super hectic during this holiday gift-making, shopping, prepping all the edible gifts and show stopping holiday main dishes time, I thought it’d be the perfect moment to share a little something festive to get you fueled!

What could be better than cookies for fuel, amiright? Btw, does anyone say amiright anymore?? At least like it’s just one word?

Before I go wildly off-topic due to holiday brain, tell me: what are your favorite winter activities for this time of year?

Erik and I are planning on going on an ice skating date. Oooooh, I’m super excited about picking up some steaming cups of hot chocolate or apple cider (even though I always only end up taking like two sips for some unknown reason), and then skating my heart out.

Of course, I’ll be clutching to Erik like the frozen pond below is literally made out of spikes and chomping piranha because I’m still scared of falling on the ice. Then Erik will feel all heroic and robust because I’m clinging to him. Then, I’ll have to say something snarky to make sure he knows his place.

And in that moment, I’ll almost slip and all the edge will fall right off my snark.

Ahhh… the holidays!

My mom and sister Jenny want to head to the mall for some last minute shopping (for which I will be tastefully averting my eyes, in case they’re getting something for me or Erik). I’m still tossing around a few ideas for gifts, but naturally most of them will be edible: peppermint brownies, vegan peanut butter cookies, chocolate coconut bars, to name a few.

Are you planning on going Day After Christmas sale shopping? Jenny’s already trying to rouse the whole fam, sure that she’ll convince us of some rational reason to wake up at 4am to get the jump on the best deals. No thanks Jenny!

The best deal is sleeping in! 😉

Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups gluten free rolled oats
  • ¼ cup gluten free oat flour
  • 1 ½ teaspoons ground ginger
  • ¾ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 flax eggs (whisk together 2 tablespoons ground flax + 6 tablespoons water, set for 15 mins)
  • 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil
  • ¼ cup + 2 tablespoons natural, unsalted creamy almond butter
  • 3 tablespoons coconut sugar
  • 2 tablespoons molasses

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or greased foil. Set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together all of the dry ingredients: oats, flour, spices, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together all the wet ingredients: flax eggs, coconut oil, almond butter, coconut sugar and molasses.
  4. Pour wet ingredients over dry ingredients. Using a rubber spatula, stir and fold until well combined.

  1. Will leaving out cinnamon be ok? I’m not supposed to have cinnamon due to histamine intolerance.

  2. These looks amazing!!!! Cant wait to make them tomorrow!!! Because I dont want them dairy free, 2 eggs equals the 2 flax eggs? Correct? Will let you know how the turn out!

  3. Made those last night. Got 15 cookies . They are only 10 left this morning. What happened??? A Cookie Monster ???(I’m the Cookie Monster ) Thank you for recipe. BTW I added a pinch of cardamom …. because I love cardamom






    1. I don’t know!!! Lololol. J/k!!! I have a Cookie Monster at my house too. His name is Erik. Haha! LOVE the sound of that added pinch of cardamom. Genius!

  4. Just made these, because I got hooked on Bobo’s Gingerbread Oat bars and thought there should be a recipe out there. These were even better than Bobo’s! Not as sweet but sweet enough with a depth. I used apple sauce instead of oil, and pumpkin spice instead of all the other spices. I included vanilla extract and a tiny bit of allspice as well. I think my wet ingredients were a bit more than what the recipe called, so I added extra oats. I also made the cookies large, so cooked them 20 min, and they came out so chewy in the inside and crispy on the outside. So good! Thank you!






    1. That’s wonderful to hear, Oz! Oh goodness, I have to tell my mom you said they’re better than Bobo’s. She’s a huge fan of those bars! Haha. Loved hearing about the special touches you added in. Happy baking!!

  5. I know this is an old recipe, but I found it yesterday and made it last night. They are SO GOOD. Even my super picky kid, who never tries new food, even if it’s ice cream, devoured them.

    I swapped the oil with unsweetened applesauce and used maple syrup instead of the sugar. They worked perfectly. I’m making more tomorrow to bring to a friend’s house!

    My family can survive on healthy baked goods for every meal, right? They’re so much more fun to make than spaghetti. :]






    1. Haha definitely so much fun to make! . I’m so happy to hear your kiddo enjoyed the bars. Thank you for stopping by and letting me know how they turned out!

  6. Made these last night for a quick ready made breakfast for my kiddos. They loved them and so did I :). Delicious and the perfect amount of gingerbread spice. Only thing I changed was I used almond flour instead of oat flour because I didn’t want to run the blender last night. Yummy!

    1. That’s wonderful to hear! 🙂 I love that almond flour works, too. Gingerbread spice is such a funny thing–too much and it’s, well, too much. Haha. Just enough and it’s the best! Thanks for reporting back. Enjoy!

  7. It’s so funny because I like gingerbread more than I *think* I do, if that makes sense? I never really crave gingerbread treats until I seem them, and your cookies look soooo good! What a perfect treat for the season!

    1. That makes perfect sense! Gingerbread is definitely a very specific type of treat. Haha. Hope you get to try! 🙂

    1. Mornings have gotten so crazy! That’s why I totally love little treats like this to make ’em easier. Enjoy!

  8. These looks ah-mazing!! I’m totally going to take your advice and dip a few of these half way in chocolate because that seems like a genius idea!!
