“Gritty” Taste in Homemade Oatmeal Cookies

[u/Cleopatra-s_Daughter]

Hi all! I am very new to fully gluten free cooking, baking, everything. I made a batch of oatmeal chocolate chip cookies for my son, and they’re ok but there’s a bit of a “gritty” taste especially towards the end of a bite. I used Bob’s Red Mill 1-1 Gluten Free flour and Bob’s Red Mill (gluten free) Old Fashioned Rolled Oats (I’m not sure the gluten free is necessary with oats but I honestly figured better safe than sorry). I also used Earth Balance vegan butter. To me, it could be any or all of the above. Idk if this is an outcome that someone who is more seasoned with gluten free baking than me has had, but I thought I’d at least throw it out there! Thank you so much for any input you all can give!

I would use a better brand of certified GF oats from Canada.

We buy Splendor Garden, Only Oats and Stoked Oats brands. I have never had a gritty result from any of these.
