Are Oats Gluten Free?
This is sort of a trick question. I’ll explain.
Oats themselves are gluten-free. However, the issue that arises is that in the planting of oat crops, harvesting, milling, and transporting the oats, they are frequently cross-contaminated with wheat, rye, or barley which all are gluten-containing grains. So yes, oats are gluten-free inherently but they are surface-level contaminated with gluten, sometimes in large amounts, sometimes in trace amounts. For individuals with true Celiac Disease, gluten should be avoided at all costs.
For individuals like myself who are gluten-sensitive and gluten-intolerant, but it’s not a matter of life-and-death, to each his or her own whether they choose to purchase specifically certified Gluten-Free Oats. My gluten intolerance is not sensitive enough that I need to do this and I am fine using conventional oats, but I also don’t ever eat more than 1/3 cup per day or I will feel the effects systemically; but..
…”There are several companies who now sell “certified gluten-free oats,” which are oats that are farmed, harvested, processed and packed using special methods to avoid cross-contamination with gluten during every step of the way. Gluten-free oats currently sell for around $4 to $5 a pound.” (source)
If you feel that organic oats, Trader Joe’s or WF’s many varieties of oats, the bulk bins at your food co-op, or even Quaker Oats won’t suffice and need a truly Gluten-Free option, check out Gluten Free Oats or Bob’s Red Mill GF Oats.
So that was a long-winded answer but like I said, it’s tricky and only your own personal detective work will tell you whether you need Certified GF Oats or not.

Yum I love fresh cherries! I wish I could find them here! Frozen works for now though :) Also those roasted veggies in coconut oil looks to die for all slathered in the oil :)
I haven't used coconut oil in cookies before, I'll have to try that!
Mmmm I wonder if you can make caramel with coconut milk?
Those dates look fabulous–didn't know they sold them there!
wow how do you come up with such creative treats! the flax cookies are making my mouth water! ha… on a fast right now but you just wait until I break fast… I'm going to rev up the kitchen! :)
Ahhh, thank you for pointing me int he direction of your three-ingredient cookies! Perfect way to make use of my new flax seeds!
I got some of that coconut oil last week…loving it! I would love to hear some of your other uses/recipes for coconut oil.
Your three ingredient Flax cookies are too easy to be true! They look and sound delicious! I need to get me a VitaMix right now! :)
Something that catched my eyes:
Well, you already know that I loved the rasin oatmeal balls ;)
The vanilla pb balls definately sound interesting!
I would add it to smoothies :)
those plantain chips are pretty eye catching!
Skylar's cute shirt caught my eye. I want it! Where's it from?
i have to admit what caught my eye the post on this post was the medjool dates. i had no idea TJ's sold them! they are absolutely delicious and would go so well on top of your no bake vegan flaxseed cookies!
The salad dressing recipe caught my eye! I made it that night for my daily tray of greenery and have had a jar in the fridge ever since! Yum and a HALF.
The word 'cookie' catches my eye every time! Especially when paired with the term 'no-bake'. I don't make cookies, I make cookie dough, and sometimes bake a few as an afterthought.
french toast coffee catches my eye!
ohh man, these look GREAT! I've got mad love for flax so this shall be made! thanks Averie!!!
