Aloha Oatmeal Cookies

[Guest guest]

As many of you know, oats are controversial in the GF world. If you are new to

the diet, do not use oats unless you know for sure they come from an

uncontaminated source and you can tolerate them. For those using the diet for

autistic spectrum disorders, please try the poha or non-gluten cereal flakes

first.
