It’s the comfort food of ice cream – Like a warm oatmeal cookie, straight out of the oven, splashed with milk and dusted with cinnamon sweetness. Imagine your favorite cookie churned into sweet, creamy ice cream and scooped high onto a cone. Your tastebuds say “oatmeal cookie,” but your eyes will know better.
Oatmeal Cookie Ice Cream!
Oatmeal Cookie Ice Cream
(gluten-free!)
Inspired by my trip to Lula’s
- 2 2/3 cups milk of choice, or creamer (640g)
- 1/3 cup oat flour (45g) (If you don’t have oat flour, just grind rolled oats to powder in a blender. Measure after blending.)
- *just* under level 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp baking soda (for flavor; can be omitted)
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/3 cup raisins (45g)
- 1/2 cup coconut sugar or brown sugar (Date sugar would probably work too.) (80g)
- 2 nunaturals stevia packets, or 1/16 tsp uncut (or omit and add 3 extra tbsp sugar)
- 2 tbsp “butter” of choice, such as Earth Balance or Smart Balance Light (See nutrition link below, for all substitution notes on this recipe)
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
Combine all ingredients except vanilla (Do include the raisins), and whisk until smooth. Microwave 3 1/2 minutes, whisk again, then microwave another 2 minutes. (Or you can heat on the stovetop, stirring occasionally, until it thickens.) Add the vanilla, then chill in the fridge until the mixture is cold again (about 4 hours). See “nutrition info” link below if you don’t have an ice cream maker. Otherwise, pour into your ice cream maker and churn. (It took 15 minutes in my Cuisinart.) Transfer to an airtight container, and chill in the freezer for an hour or so, until true ice-cream consistency is reached.

Vote: Chocolate Chip or Oatmeal Raisin??
For cookies, I’d probably go with chocolate-chip. But I might like this oatmeal-raisin ice cream even better than cookie dough ice cream. It’s that good.

Team oatmeal raisin… I join in!
I love oatmeal raisin too! Buuuuut…..i do chocolate covered raisins…the best of both worlds!
I was always the strange child who preferred oatmeal raisin cookies to chocolate chip…unless they were fresh out of the often or chocolate chocolate chip 😉 O and the WW points aren’t on your nutritional info! Thought you might want to know 😉 Oh and this looks amazing btw!
Thanks for letting me know I forgot it. Fixed!
(It’s 2 points)
This sounds delish. Love oatmeal raisin cookies..yep more than choc-chip!
What’s the consistency like if you don’t have an ice cream maker?
Hi Brittany,
Read the “nutrition info” link for all the details about what to do and how it works if you don’t have a machine.
Looks delicious! Katie, do you have any (vegan-friendly) restaurant recommendations for an upcoming trip to Boston? I googled it and think that “Peace O’ Pie” Pizza and “Veggie Galaxy” look awesome but I was just wondering if you’d been to anywhere memorable? Thanks!
Gabby…Peace O Pie is okay…I was there last night. I like Prana Cafe in Newton and Life Alive in Central Square is my all time favorite! I’m from Boston and Vegan…
VEGGIE PLANET IN HARVARD SQUARE. <3 <3 <3 <3
Thanks so much ladies!!
I’ve actually only been once since starting the blog: https://lett-trim.today/2007/10/26/more-of-boston/%3C/a%3E%3Cbr /> Warning: it’s a very old post ;).
So I don’t know of much in Boston. Considering my sister lives there, I really should get my butt up there to visit!
The Red Lentil in Watertown has some really nice vegan dishes. It’s a bit fancier than your average cafe, though.
Oatmeal must be on the brain! I posted an Oatmeal Cookie Dough Shake last week. Have you ever added a little nooch to these? It gave a nice little nutty taste to my shake. 🙂
Chocolate chip all the way! Although I have a total weakness for oatmeal >.<
I was actually going to attempt this myself using your cookie dough recipe as a base!! I’ve said it a million times and I will say it again… you are a mind reader!!!

Oatmeal cookies are my favorite, so this sounds good to me! Ahhh so tempting to get an ice cream maker!
