Super Oatmeal Cookies

This super oatmeal cookies recipe yields soft and chewy oatmeal cookies packed with nutrition from carrots, apples, pumpkin and flax seed. 

this !

Oats On The Go, or Cookies for Breakfast!

These Super Oatmeal Cookies will be your new favorite portable snack. Ideal for quick breakfasts (paired with fresh fruit or greek yogurt), long car trips, summer hikes, or picnics, you can take them anywhere. You could describe these as a “scuffin” actually. Part scone, part muffin, part cookie. They have a soft and chewy texture. Naturally I like them best toasted and crumbled over yogurt and smoothies.  : )

Oatmeal Cookie Nutrition

Made with Quaker Old Fashioned Oats, homemade oat flour, flax, carrots, apple, and pumpkin, these cookies are super good! The oats and oat flour make them 100% whole grain, and they have 3 grams of fiber per cookie. Plus, the only added sugar comes from a touch of honey, so they have less than 5 grams of sugar per cookie. You can also make them with Quaker’s Gluten Free Oats for a gluten-free recipe.

Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups Quaker Old Fashioned Oats
  • 2/3 cup oat flour made from Quaker Oats
  • 2/3 cup carrot peeled and grated (~1 large or 2 medium)
  • 2/3 cup apple peeled, cored and grated (~1 large or 2 medium)
  • 2/3 cup canned pumpkin
  • 1/3 cup ground flax
  • 1 large egg
  • 3 tbsp honey 
  • 2 tbsp butter melted
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp kosher salt

Ingredient Modifications

  • You can use all purpose flour or whole wheat flour in place of oat flour
  • Sub brown sugar for honey if you’d like, but you may need to add a bit more butter. 
  • You can use applesauce instead of pumpkin

How To Make Super Oatmeal Cookies

1. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper

2. Make The Homemade Oat Flour

Making oat flour is super easy if you have a food processor. Just blend rolled or quick cooking oats for one minute until you have a fine flour.

What’s the benefit of oat flour?

Oat flour is a nutritious alternative to traditional wheat flour, offering numerous health benefits. Just like oats, it’s rich in fiber, particularly beta-glucan, it supports heart health by helping to lower cholesterol levels and regulate blood sugar. Oat flour is also packed with protein, vitamins, and minerals, including iron, magnesium, and B vitamins, which contribute to energy production and overall well-being.

With a mild, slightly sweet flavor, oat flour enhances the taste and texture of baked goods while boosting their nutritional value.

Grate the carrots and apples

While you have the food processor out, grate your carrots and apples. If you don’t have a food processor, you can use pre-ground flour and grate the produce on a box grater.

Mix Ingredients together

Follow the basic order of mixing the wet ingredients together, then the dry ingredients together, then mix the wet into the dry until everything is uniformly mixed. 

Form Cookies

Since these cookies aren’t heavy on the butter, they won’t spread while baking, so form them into cookie shapes and place on parchment paper. 

Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes

Bake for 15 minutes until edges are crispy and golden.

How to enjoy these oatmeal cookies: 

  • Store on the counter in an airtight for 1-2 days. I would recommend freezing if you want to enjoy them beyond. 
  • Enjoy as a snack or breakfast on the go
  • Crumble over yogurt or cottage cheese

Can You Freeze Oatmeal Cookies?

Yes, you can freeze oatmeal cookies! You have two options:

Freezing Baked Oatmeal Cookies

  • Let the cookies cool completely to room temperature.
  • Place them in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze for about an hour to prevent sticking.
  • Transfer the frozen cookies to an airtight container or freezer bag.
  • They can be frozen for up to 3 months.

Freezing Oatmeal Cookie Dough

  • Scoop the dough into individual portions and place them on a baking sheet.
  • Freeze until solid, then transfer to a freezer bag.
  • When ready to bake, bake from frozen, adding an extra 1-2 minutes to the baking time.
  • This is a great way to enjoy just a few cookies at a time!

    I thought all oats were gluten free! Where does the gluten come from in regular Quaker Oats?

      They are naturally gluten free but usually processed or stored where there could be some cross contamination. The gluten-free variety is strictly separate for those super sensitive to gluten.

    Just tried these but had to sub out canned pumpkin as we don’t have it in the uk, for sweet potato and I didn’t have any flax so left that out…. also added a little sweetener as I wanted the kid to eat them BUT i don’t think they’ll be getting any as I’m not sure I’ll be sharing. Totally delicious! Many thanks

    I wonder if I could make these into lactation cookies with some brewer’s yeast added in? They have all the other ingredients my regular lactation cookies have plus the fruit and veg.

    I made these last night and they are delicious! Totally acceptable for breakfast, dipped in Greek yogurt. I was out of carrots, so used the same quantity of grated sweet potato, doused in boiling water, cooked for 5 minutes, then water pressed out.

    Our American Foxhound, Irving, loved them, too. He managed to snag seven of them before we realized what he was doing! We were very glad they they have all dog-friendly ingredients and I didn’t add anything like chocolate chips or raisins.

    Thanks for yet another great recipe!
