Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use rolled oats instead of quick cooking oats?
Yes, you can use rolled oats, but the texture may be slightly chewier. If you prefer a softer cookie, consider processing the rolled oats in a food processor for a few seconds to break them down slightly.
What can I substitute for no-fat yogurt?
If you don't have no-fat yogurt, you can use unsweetened applesauce or mashed bananas as a substitute. Both will add moisture and sweetness, but keep in mind it may slightly alter the flavor and texture of the cookies.
Can I make these cookies gluten-free?
Absolutely! To make these cookies gluten-free, simply substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend. Be sure to check that the oats are labeled gluten-free, as some oats may be processed in facilities that handle gluten.
