Notes
- Use Gluten Free Quick Oats – Not all oats are gluten free because they can be cross contaminated with other grains. Use a Certified Gluten Free Quick Oat like Bob’s Red Mill if you’re gluten free.
- Try Using Your Favorite Nut Butter – Use creamy, chunky or honey roasted peanut butter. You can even try other nut butters and see how they come out.
- Use Other Dried Fruits – Use all raisins or dried cranberries instead of mixing them. Try dried apricots, or dried blueberries and see how those are in the recipe.
- Use Other Spices – Try pumpkin pie spice instead of just cinnamon.
- Make them Dairy Free – Use margarine instead of butter for a dairy free version of the cookies. How to Freeze Oatmeal Breakfast Cookies These cookies freeze well.
