1. the recipe does not call for soaking the oats, or whether you are supposed to use quick oats. Please explain what type, and whether you are to soak beforehand.

2. I made these yesterday. They tasted amazing, but they came out more cake-like than a cookie. I don't know what I did wrong. The only thing I changed was that I used Ben's quick cooking steel cut oats and soaked them in water for an hour and then drained them. I also used a loose cup measurement of flour and oats instead of a packed one. Maybe this changed the texture. I would really appreciate any insights. They tasted great! If I can fix the texture, the recipe is a keeper!

1. Delicious! My Gluten Free (and other) adaptations: Only 1 cup of sugar (plenty sweet!), added one extra egg, upped cinnamon to 1 Tb, added 1tsp ginger, added 1/2 tsp of almond extract and more vanilla than called for, used 1.5 Cups GF flour blend + 1 cup Almond flour, 1/2 cup cranberries and 1/2 cup chocolate chips.

2. I love Steel Cut Oatmeal cookies, but while this recipe is OK, I have always soaked/boiled the oats ahead of the cookie recipe, and this method makes a chewier cookie overall,while being the most healthy as well.<br/>I also sometimes soak the raisins in Bourbon for about an hour, which adds a bite to the cookie as well. Very yummy cookie;)

3. Like similar reviewers I soaked my oats for about an hour. During that time I was also soaking a half cup of raisins in Meyer's rum with a splash of natural vanilla extract added. I reserved some of the liquid in place of straight vanilla for the cookies, and added a dash of ginger and ground clove. I added some toasted coconut I had in the kitchen as well as semi-sweet chocolate chunks (No cranberries or nuts). Came out fluffy with a crunch at the edge, and a nice balance of flavors. I will make these again...

4. Wow! These are really good! Changes I made: soaked the oats for half an hour (Bob's steel cut), put half an once of whiskey with the raisins (I used one cup, and only raisins) and used coconut sugar instead of regular. I think soaking the oats and using whiskey for more flavor made them even more amazing!

5. I used a different brand of steel cut oats, margarine instead of butter, and Stevia baking blend instead of sugar. I did not use cranberries or pecans, just sunmaid raisins. These came out fantastic. Soft and textured, delicious! Just sweet enough! Next time I will soak the steel cut oats a little to open then up more. Love this, looking forward to making again!

3. I just made a double batch of these. To make it gluten free I subbed 2 different gluten free flours, I also added 3 more farm fresh large eggs than it called for and about 1 + cup of almond milk because gluten free flour needs more liquid than regular flour. I added a half cup of hemp seeds, a cup of chocolate chips, about 1.5 -2 cups mixed nuts, dates, craisins and raisins that I threw into the ninja food processor first.

4. Hi! I literally made these 30 minutes ago! I made larger ones then the recipe said, and used chocolate chips instead of pecans. My family loves them! Although, I baked the first 2 batches for 15 minutes, and they could of done with a bit more time ( but it's probably because I made them a lot bigger, and all ovens are different) but on the third batch I baked them for 17 minutes and they were perfect! I also would recommend soaking the steel cut oats before using them. Thanks, and great recipe! I will definitely make again!

5. I used all organic ingrediants and didn't add the cranberries. I added the brown sugar but not the white sugar and added a bit of stevia. I also used almond flour instead of the white flour. Oh......and I added a couple of drops of doterra orange essential oil. I like that they are crunchy. I posted a photo of me making the cookies on my Facebook wellness page, Sampurna. Cheers!
