Mix the flaxseeds and water together and let them sit for about five minutes, then add them to the oatmeal cookie dough in place of the egg.

Top Tips

Make sure to use gluten-free oats: Oats are naturally gluten-free, but they can be contaminated with gluten during processing.

Gluten-free oats are processed in a way that ensures they are free from contamination, making them safe for people with gluten intolerance or celiac disease to consume.

Room temperature ingredients: It is very important to ensure that the ingredients used -except coconut oil- are at room temperature before making the dough. Cold ingredients might affect the baking process and ultimately the desired texture.

Chill the oatmeal cookie dough: This a good step to guarantee that the gluten-free oatmeal cookie dough stays perfectly firm when baked.
