Notes
If you're trying to avoid gluten but still want to enjoy these treats you're, in luck! Instead of using flour simply use an equal amount of gluten-free flour blend (make sure it has xanthan gum included as it helps with binding). Also be careful when choosing your oats; although oats are naturally gluten-free they can sometimes be contaminated with grains that contain gluten. Look for oats that are labeled as "gluten-free" to make sure they're safe. With these substitutions you'll still get to savor the delight of our Pumpkin Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies without the gluten.
