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.

I love how that top scoop completely resembles a real oatmeal cookie! Looks tasty!
Just curious, what does the baking soda add to the flavor? I usually find it pretty chemical-ly tasting! But thats just me!
Loooove oatmeal cookies, I haven’t had any in so long though.. I never would have thought about it in ice cream form though.. I’ll def add this to my must try list 😉
You did it. You made my favorite ice cream apart from the pumpkin ice cream I found in Walpole NH a couple years ago. It’s 10:30 pm and I found myself making this (I was going to wait until the AM but I just couldn’t wait!) this has seriously changed my life! Haha
Wow, what a decision! I probably have to go with chocolate chip by a margin. Your ice cream looks (and sounds- love your description!) spectacular! I may just be inspired to buy an ice cream maker.
Oh my gosh, this ice cream looks amazing! I can’t wait to try it!
Ugh, I want an ice-cream maker now! This looks fabulous.
I made this last night & WOW – it really does taste like an oatmeal cookie! 🙂 YUM! I used skim cow’s milk and can only imagine how much better it would be with whole milk, cream, etc. But it’s delicious even with skim milk. I used raisins and added in some mini dark chocolate chunks at the end. So good everyone in my family gobbled this up – will definitely make it again! Thanks, Katie!
Oh and I also used 1/4 c coconut crystals and 1/4 c brown sugar.
I love getting your recipes in my email…everything always looks so delicious, but it’s healthy too! We are trying to cut out friut sugars and I love that some of your recipes have been sugar free too. Keep up the great work 🙂
So we made this last night- and it ROCKS!!! I doubled the recipe (tripling it next time) and used coconut milk. SO good. Ate some for breakfast this morning actually. At first I was concerned about it being overly sweet, but it turned out fine after chilling in the freezer.
I like this better than the cookie dough ice cream!
p.s.- what milk did you use?
I actually used Silk almond milk for this trial.
