Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free Oats - Has Anyone Tried These Yet ?

Hi,

I have seen that Bob's Red Mill has two kinds of gluten free oats, I was wondering if anyone has tried them yet ? If they have are they any good and can you make oatmeal cookies out of them ? I have a Wonderful oatmeal cookie recipe, but its not gluten free, but I was thinking I could use my gluten free flour in place of regular flour and these oats if they are good. If anyone has tried them please let me know I would love to order some if they taste like regular oats.

Thank you

Sue

I've had the BRM oats, as well as the ones from Gifts of Nature and glutenfreeoats.com. They are all very good. I seem to be able to tolerate them quite well. They are more of an old fashioned oat, so they have more "chew" than quick cooking oats that you might be used to. They work great in cookies. If you do decide to order from BRM and you want to use the oats for cookies, make sure you get the rolled oats and not the steelcut oats.

Good luck on your cookie recipe!

Thank you for telling me to order the rolled oats, I wasn't sure which ones to get. Do yo think BRM oats are better than the glutenfreeoats.com ?

I thought they were both good. The Gifts Of Nature was a little thinner than the Bob's Red Mill one, so it was a bit more like a quick oat in texture than Bob's. The glutenfreeoats.com was in the middle of the two. I rather liked the old fashioned texture of Bob's, but I guess it would depend on what you prefer.

I do hope you plan on coughing up the cookie recipe when you get done experimenting. :)

Colleen,

I plan on ordering oats tomorrow or Saturday, then I'll give my recipe a try.

Here is the recipe

1 pound real butter

2 cups brown sugar

2 cups white sugar

1/4 cup molasses

4 eggs

2 tsp. baking soda

2 tsp. salt

4 cups of flour (I plan on using either white or brown rice flour)

4 cups of oatmeal

Cream butter, add both sugars and molasses, cream well. Add eggs beat well (1 minute) to mixture blend remaining ingredients.

Bake at 350 on greased cookie sheets. Do not over bake, take out when cookies look doughy.

This recipe makes 9 to 10 dozen (so you could half it if you don't want to make too many)

This are very tasty (I think its because of the brown sugar and molasses in the recipe)

Hi-

I just bought the BRM gluten-free oats and on the back it states that some Celiacs may still have a reaction. I do not understand this. Does this mean there is a protein in oats that resembles the protein in gluten and that the immune system gets activated?

Can anyone explain?

Thanks for any help!!!

There are a few things to look out for with oats, even gluten free ones. The first is that there are a small minority of Celiacs who also end up having an intolerance to the protein structure of oats because it is very similar. The other thing to remember is that even if you can tolerate oats (and as inferred above, most Celiacs can), the recommendation is not to have more than a certain amount per day.

Quote from an article found on allergicliving.org:

The professional advisory board of the Canadian Celiac Association, in consultation with Health Canada, has developed a position statement on using pure, uncontaminated oats. It says that adults with celiac can safely eat half to three-quarters of a cup (50 to 70 grams) of dry rolled oats per day. For children, it

Hi,

I have not tried the BRM, but I have tried the ones out of Wyoming and the ones in the red box....sorry, I know that is a lot of help :D My favorite have been the ones out of Wyoming. I used my regular old chocolate chop oatmeal cookie recipe and just subsitituted with gluten free featherlite flour blend and the gluten free oats. In fact I just made a batch last week and took some to work and had several people tell me that I should make and sell them. I really like them. I also just made a pumpkin roll yesterday and YUMMY!!!! I pretty much use any of the recipes I always used and just substitute the flours and don't seem to have any big problems. Hope you enjoy your cookies!

My Fiancee tried the BRM gluten-free Oats and they bothered her, but she seems to be fairly sensitive and I'm not sure we've found all of her triggers yet. But I would be careful with oats in general.

I love the BRM gluten-free oats. I used them to stuff my turkey at Thanksgiving (an old Scottish recipe) and I used them yesterday for oatmeal creme brulee.

I have been eating and enjoying the oats for about 2 weeks now! I love them and have not been sick.

I'm sure you've already made these at this point, but from my experience, baked goods (and most things) taste more like gluten-filled goods if the flour is a mix of many different types of flours (i.e. not all rice, not all tapioca, etc.) I've only used premixed flour combos because I only cook for one and don't want tons of different flour bags to go to waste.

How'd these work out?

      Hidden Gluten in distilled vinegar

      By Manaan2 · Posted

      Hi Trents-Thanks for reading and sharing insight.  We need all the help we can get and it's super appreciated.  She is currently dairy, soy and oat free and those have mostly been completely excluded from her diet since the diagnosis (we tried going back on dairy and oats at different times for a bit, didn't see a significant difference but have now cut out again just to be extra safe since her issues are so persistent.  We did cut eggs out for about 3 months and didn't notice significant difference there, either.  The only one we haven't specifically cut out completely for any portion of time is corn, however, we've kept it minimal in all of our diets for a long time.  She definitely goes 3-4 weeks without any corn products at times and still has issues, but I'm guessing that's not long enough to confirm that it isn't causing issues.   We could definitely try to go longer just to double check.  Thanks again!

      Potato Intolerance

      By Jordan23 · Posted

      Ok so know one knows about cross reactions from yeast,corn, potatoes, eggs, quinoa ,chocolate, milk, soy, and a few more I forgot.  There all gluten free but share a similar structure to gluten proteins. I use to be able to eat potatoes but now all of a sudden I was stumped and couldn't figure it out when I got shortness of breath like I was suffocating.  Then figured it out it was the potatoes.  They don't really taste good anyways. Get the white yams and cherry red 🍠 yams as a sub they taste way better. It's a cross reaction! Google foods that cross react with celiacs.  Not all of them you will cross react too. My reactions now unfortunately manifest in my chest and closes everything up . Life sucks then we die. Stay hopeful and look and see different companies that work for you . Lentils from kroger work for me raw in the bag and says nothing about gluten free but it works for me just rinse wellllll.....don't get discouraged and stay hopeful and don't pee off god

      Can I trust the gluten free label if a product was made in a facility that also processes gluten?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Doris Barnes! You do realize don't you that the "gluten free" label does not mean the same thing as "free of gluten"? According to FDA regulations, using the "gluten free" label simply means the product does not contain gluten in excess of 20 ppm. "Certified Gluten Free" is labeling deployed by an independent testing group known as GFCO which means the product does not contain gluten in excess of 10 ppm. Either concentration of gluten can still cause a reaction in folks who fall into the more sensitive spectrum of the celiac community. 20 ppm is safe for most celiacs. Without knowing how sensitive you are to small amounts of gluten, I cannot speak to whether or not the Hu Kitechen chocolates are safe for you. But it sounds like they have taken sufficient precautions at their factory to ensure that this product will be safe for the large majority of celiacs.

      By Doris Barnes · Posted

      Buying choclate, I recently boght a bar from Hu Kitchen (on your list of recommended candy. It says it is free of gluten. However on the same package in small print it says "please be aware that the product is produced using equipment that also processes nuts, soy, milk and wheat. Allergen cleans are made prior to production". So my question is can I trust that there is no cross contamination.  If the allergy clean is not done carefully it could cause gluten exposure. Does anyone know of a choclate brand that is made at a facility that does not also use wheat, a gluten free facility. Thank you.
