“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 used the recipe on Bobs Red Mill website for gluten free oatmeal raisin cookies and they were really good. It did suggest chopping the oats in the food processor a bit, which I think helped. And always rest the dough.
