Oatmeal cookies get a bad rap. Why that is? Truly, I don’t know! They’re soft, chewy, sweet cookies that give all the warm and cozy flavors you could want. That’s why I decided to give them a twist that will prove — once and for all — that they deserve a place on your favorite cookie list. This Gluten-Free Oatmeal Cookie bread is for both long-time oatmeal cookie fans, as well as those who aren’t sure where they stand. One thing is for certain, though, once you try this recipe, it’ll be a new favorite.
First there was Sugar Cookie Bread, then Candy Cane Bread, and now I bring you…Gluten-Free Oatmeal Cookie Bread.
This might be my best holiday sweet bread recipe yet — but it can be enjoyed all year round! It’s SO warm and hearty with the flavor of brown sugar, the texture of chewy oats, and of course the sweet, sugary glaze. I can’t wait for you to make this!

Ingredients
Bread Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract or paste
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 1/4 cup 1:1 gluten-free flour *
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/3 cup GF rolled oats
Glaze Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon milk
- turbinado sugar for topping
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees
- In a large bowl mix together butter and sugars, then add in egg and vanilla extract. Lastly mix in milk until all wet ingredients fully combined
- In a separate bowl mix together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon
- Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix just until combined, then fold in the oats
- Transfer batter to a parchment-lined + greased 8½x4½ inch loaf pan and bake for 45-50 minutes**, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Be sure not to over-bake!
- Let cool for at least 30 minutes in pan, then use a butter knife along edges to remove and transfer to a cooling rack. The longer you let cool the better, so it has time to set and not crumble when you slice it
- To make the glaze, whisk powdered sugar and milk until a smooth consistency, adding more milk if needed
- When completely cooled, pour/spread glaze over the bread, then top with turbinado sugar
Notes
* Be sure to use a 1:1 gluten-free flour in this recipe. I used this one from Pilsbury, which I found at my local grocery store and I loved how it worked in this recipe. My other favorite is by Bob’s Red Mill.
If you are not gluten-free, simply use regular all-purpose flour, same measurements.
Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days

What flour should I use?
Be sure to use a 1:1 gluten-free flour in this recipe. In this case, I used this one from Pilsbury, which I found at my local grocery store and I loved how it worked in this recipe. My other favorite is by Bob’s Red Mill.
However, please note that you can’t use just any gluten-free flour because some of them require different measurements, etc. so be sure to opt for one that clearly says it’s a 1:1 swap for regular flour.
If you are not gluten-free, simply use regular all-purpose flour, same measurements.
Using all-purpose flour may cut down baking time. Check it around 40 minutes, it’s done baking when a toothpick comes out clean.
As always, if you make this Gluten-Free Oatmeal Cookie Bread or any of my other recipes I’d love to know how they turned out. Please leave a review, and be sure to tag me on Instagram @Hungry.Blonde! xoxo GG
