Growing up, some of my fondest memories were made in my grandma’s kitchen. The air was always filled with freshly baked goods, and her counters were dusted with flour.
One sunny afternoon, I remember standing on my tiptoes to peek over the counter as she introduced me to a special oat flour cookie recipe that she swore by – her chewy gluten-free oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. She carefully measured out the oat flour, saying how it gave the cookies their signature chewy texture.
As we browned the butter, she told me stories of how her mother used the same technique to add a rich, nutty flavor to their baked goods, making these brown butter oatmeal cookies truly unforgettable.
When we finally pulled the oatmeal flour chocolate chip cookies from the oven, they were everything she had promised – chewy, sweet, and utterly delicious. Now, every time I bake these cookies with oat flour, I’m reminded of those warm, loving afternoons in my grandma’s kitchen.
Her oat flour cookie recipe has become my go-to, and I hope it brings as much joy to others as it has brought to our family.
