Oatmeal Cookies are SO good, but for many people with allergies or special diets, eating oats is off limits. Two of my kiddos are very sensitive to grains & can’t eat oats… So, I modified my favorite Gluten Free & Vegan Oatmeal Cookie Recipe (over here) to come up with a Cookie Recipe that was still Hearty & Filling, but totally Oat-Free.
This Gluten Free & Vegan Hearty Non-Oatmeal Cookie Recipe is delicious & easy to make. It’s a perfect solution to satisfy your cookie craving & need for a hearty snack. You can customize the optional extra ingredients to your liking or dietary needs.

Hi,
My I had to substitute some Hemp Seeds for the coconut and my kids are allergic to cane sugar so I had to use coconut sugar and erythritol for the sugars. They came out pretty good.
