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.

what milk do you use in this recipe?
You can use whatever you want, or even creamer. I probably wouldn’t use ricemilk, though, because the lack of fat will make it less creamy. Anything with some fat will work. Almond milk or canned coconut milk would be great.
Definitely chocolate chip! I’m not a fan of raisins 🙂
mmmmm…..all I have to say about this great new recipe.
Also, if you’re looking for inspiration (and a bit of work), I would love to see a Katie version of this:

I’m definitely a chocolate chip cookie kind of girl and cookie dough ice cream is one of the best things that’s ever happened to my life. I used to eat cookie dough all the time until I learned that i i could get salmonella and that (almost!) ended my cookie dough eating.
Looks great!! I do however have to say, chocolate chip all the way!!
Have you tried using coconut milk for this? Whenever I have tried making homemade ice-cream it turns to ice, have you had this problem?
Yes, you can definitely use full-fat canned coconut milk for this. I wouldn’t use the SoDelicious coconut milk simply because I find that one watery. Also, I’d stay away from ricemilk.
Almond milk works well in this recipe, though.
Oatmeal cookies, for sure! looks sooo good but i can’t make it because i have no ice cream maker. 🙁 i’ll go and buy one now… 😀
sounds delicious! i will have to give it a try!
for my vote: i actually put chocolate chip instead of raisins in my oatmeal cookies, so i wouldn’t have to choose chocolate or no chocolate, but it really just depends on my mood and how many i am going to eat. cause i will eat my oatmeal cookies for breakfast, snack, dessert, “leave in the car and if you are good in the store you get one” treats … and they are perfect when i was pregnant and had never ending morning sickness (last 3 months nausea) since the oatmeal stays with you longer. and they taste like they are right out of the oven when left in a car. yummy! i guess i can say right now oatmeal chocolate chip (but only because i made chocolate chip 2 weeks ago, and sugar this week) 😉
I just made this in my vitamix and WOW. How do you come up with these things, Katie? Ridiculously good!
Oh also, I was out of raisins so I replaced them with chocolate chips. It was UH-MAY-ZING. But really, is chocolate ever not?
I love oatmeal cookies with chocolate chunks or chocolate chips….no raisins please! Although the recipe sounds yum, I still prefer bananas when making home made ice cream. I don’t have an ice cream maker and bananas work so much better using a food processor and freezer.
