Gluten-free oats, peanut butter, dairy-free chocolate, eggs, and regular cane sugar are all allowed on the low FODMAP diet, so I decided I’d make these gluten-free low FODMAP oatmeal peanut butter chocolate chip cookies! If you aren’t needing low FODMAP recipe, stick around still, because these are an amazing gluten-free oatmeal peanut butter chocolate chip cookie too! Today’s low FODMAP cookie recipe is sponsored by Enjoy Life Foods as I used their delicious mini chocolate chips in this recipe!
Earlier this year, my gastroenterologist put me on a Low FODMAP diet in conjunction with treatment for SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth, in hopes that doing both would heal me. Now if you’re like me, you’d heard very little about low FODMAP diet/foods before. It was definitely overwhelming!! In addition to some great handouts my gastroenterologist gave me, the resources I found most helpful to me starting out were this one that explains the Low FODMAP diet, and this one for Low FODMAP meal ideas. Later I found this Low FODMAP guide that includes printables to help too which I’ll definitely use next time! Definitely check these out!
I did the Low FODMAP diet for about 3 weeks, then reintroduced foods to see which, if any, were bothersome to my body. Please only do this diet under the supervision of a gastroenterologist. I am not recommending anyone do this diet. I’m just providing this recipe for a treat for those of you that have been instructed by a doctor to adhere to this diet for a short time.
If you haven’t found a good gastroenterologist yet, keep asking around and keep looking! I’m on my fourth gastroenterologist, and finally have found one that has a good understanding of celiac disease and inflammatory bowel diseases. (If you live in Boise area, feel free to email me for my gastroenterologist’s name!)
I really was craving treats while I was on this diet. I was happy to see that some of my favorite ingredients were still allowed on the low FODMAP diet and was anxious to make a treat with them. Peanut butter, gluten-free oats, eggs, dairy-free chocolate, and regular cane sugar are all allowed on the low FODMAP diet, so I decided I’d make these gluten-free low FODMAP oatmeal peanut butter chocolate chip cookies! They were deeeee-licious! My family all loved these of course and devoured them! I was glad I froze some so that I could pull one out to enjoy on some of the remaining days, otherwise they’d have eaten them all!
Notes on ingredients for these low FODMAP cookies:
- Peanut Butter – Use a natural peanut butter that contains peanuts and salt only. Almond butter or sunflower seed butter would be good substitutions. The lists I read recommended avoiding cashews, so I wouldn’t use a cashew butter.
- Oats – as always, I recommend all celiacs and gluten-intolerant folks use only certified gluten-free oats. I used gluten-free quick cooking oats in these, but gluten-free rolled oats would be fine too.
- Chocolate – I used Enjoy Life semi-sweet chocolate mini chips. They’re my go-to whenever I need chocolate that is dairy-free in addition to certified gluten-free. I love the mini chips because they make it so you can’t get a single bite that doesn’t have some chocolate in it! I buy mine at my local Albertsons or Fred Meyer or buy online from Amazon.
Ok, back to the cookies! Whether you have to follow a special diet or not, I think you’re going to love these chewy cookies! They’re so good! If you’re looking for more cookie recipes, check out all of my gluten-free cookie recipes here. Many can be adapted to fit the Low FODMAP diet as well.

Megan says
Yummm!!! Can’t wait to try these!
Lynne says
Can xanthum gum be omitted entirely?
Luanda says
Just made these and yum! Love love them! It’s a little too peanut-buttery for my taste but still taste great. Will make them again!
Belle says
Thank you for this recipe. Last year, I made it through an acid reflux diet, that was also low FODMAP, GF, DF, and corn free. Although I still have to watch all of these, finding a recipe like this is a blessing.
Jenn says
Hi! I just made these and am so in love!! Thank you! I would like to make them for a family member who is strictly dairy free – what can I use in place of the butter? Thank so much!
Mary Lou Nadeau says
The recipe looks fantastic as are all of your baking recipes that I have made!
I just wanted to say that a small percentage of people with celiac disease cannot tolerate oats – even gluten-free oats. The protein in oats is called avenin and though it is not gluten it has a similar molecular structure and can have the same affect as gluten in some people.
My good friend who suffers from this condition and does not tolerate oats well, tells me that the Celiac Society in my hometown recommends eliminating oats from the diet for 6 months from the time of diagnosis of Celiac Disease and re-introducing them in very small amounts after that time frame.

THANK YOU! No longer on a strict low FODMAP, but still watch FODMAPs. Nice to see more recipes that take this into account.
