Question

Can ground oats be purchased that way? If I want to grind my own, are the quick oats okay or should I use the rolled?

Community Answer

You can purchase oat flour, but it's very easy (and cheaper) to grind up your own quick or rolled oats in a food processor or high-powered blender.

Question

Can I use this recipe to make pumpkin, chocolate chip ground oatmeal cookies?

Community Answer

Yes, but you will have to be careful to consider the water content already in the pumpkin and how ground oatmeal will absorb fluids. Just be vigilant when dealing with texture and consistency.

Question

My oatmeal cookies are dry and hard and the oats taste dry and uncooked. What did I do wrong?

Ann Hupe

Community Answer

Somehow, you either haven't included enough liquid or you are adding too much of some dry ingredients. Double-check everything and make sure you have the correct ingredients. Quick-cooked oats and regular oats bake differently.

Question

The recipe calls for 1-1/2 C flour and 3 C oatmeal and I only had 2 cups of oatmeal. Can I fill in with extra flour or bran flakes?

Community Answer

You should add flour instead of bran flakes. Bran flakes can get soggy and may alter the recipe too much.
