Martha Stewart Oatmeal Chocolate Pecan Cookies

Full of oatmeal, pecans, and chocolate, Martha Stewart Oatmeal Chocolate Pecan Cookies are a new favorite.

We are continuing my Martha Stewart Cooking Challenge with this easy-to-make cookie recipe.

This recipe for Oatmeal Pecan Chocolate Chunk Cookies comes from The Best of Martha Stewart Living Desserts cookbook from 1998.

Martha Stewart Oatmeal Chocolate Pecan Cookies Martha Stewart Desserts Cookbook

My favorite Martha Stewart recipes are the ones from the 1990s and early 2000s. In my opinion, those are some of her best recipes.

Oatmeal Chocolate Pecan Cookie and recipe

This cookbook is one that I found used, but I haven’t cooked many recipes out of it. I recently decided to give these Oatmeal Pecan Chocolate Chunk Cookies a try.

They were delicious. These are hearty chocolate chunk cookies. If you are looking for a chocolate chip cookie that is a little different, give these Martha Stewart Oatmeal Pecan Chocolate Chunk Cookies a try.

Gluten Free Version

These cookies work great gluten free. All you need to do is use Bob’s Red Mill 1 to 1 Gluten Free Flour blend and gluten free oats.

What I Changed

The only thing I changed when it comes to the ingredients in the recipe was the amount of chocolate. I added extra chocolate by adding some chocolate chips. You can never have too much chocolate.

The recipe also had you use parchment paper to line the cookie sheets. I skipped the parchment paper and just dropped the dough onto a cookie sheet.

To make them gluten free I used Bob’s Red Mill 1 to 1 Gluten Free Flour Blend and gluten free oats.

ALDI Gluten Free Products

If you are looking for inexpensive gluten free options, check out ALDI gluten free products.

ALDI Store

I know not everyone has an ALDI near them. My family all live in Oregon and Washington, and they do not have ALDI in their area. However, ALDI is located in about forty states, so many people do have an ALDI that they shop at.

If you don’t have an ALDI, don’t worry, I have more of these store guides for gluten-free products coming soon.

I also want to say that this is not a sponsored post. ALDI doesn’t know who I am. I bought all the products mentioned in the post. In fact, I buy them regularly. I am just sharing a store that I love because it saves me money on gluten-free items.

ALDI glute free products

AlDI Gluten Free Products

This list does not contain all of the gluten free products that ALDI carries. These are the ALDI gluten free products that we buy and enjoy.

They are the gluten-free products that I have bought at the ALDI stores in my area, but you might find more or different gluten-free products in your area.

ALDI carries quite a few gluten-free products, but it does vary by the time of year and the store location.

Not all of ALDI’s gluten free products are certified gluten free. I have not reacted to any of ALD’s gluten free products, but you may want to do your own research for the best products for you and your family.

I included the price on some of the items below. Prices may vary depending on location, date, and other factors.

ALDI Gluten Free Pizza

Gluten Free Cauliflower Crust Take and Bake Pizza $8.29 – We really like this pizza, especially for the price. My son, who does not have to eat gluten-free, likes this pizza. I usually add a little more cheese to it because we like lots of cheese on our pizza.

I have even bought one and put it in the freezer, as is in the package, and frozen it. I take it out and bake it for a few minutes longer than the label suggests, and it turns out great. We do not like the ALDI gluten-free frozen pizza, but the take-and-bake gluten-free pizza is delicious.

Pad Thai with Chicken $9.49 – The ALDI Pad Thai with Chicken is gluten free and makes a quick and easy meal. My ALDI doesn’t always have it in stock, but I like to buy it to keep on hand for a quick dinner. At my ALDI, it is in the refrigerated section near the take-and-bake pizzas.

ALDI Gluten Free Crispy Rice

Gluten Free Crispy Rice Cereal – Rice Krispies cereal is not gluten-free because it contains malt. Malt is made from barley, and barley is not gluten-free, so most Rice Krispies-type cereals are not gluten-free. However, ALDI’s Crispy Rice Cereal is gluten-free! If you miss Rice Krispies or Rice Krispies Treats, give the ALDI version a try. It is a pantry staple for me.

Gluten Free Frozen Chicken Nuggets $6.49 – ALDI gluten free chicken nuggets are great, especially for the price. They are great for kids who have to eat gluten-free.

Gluten Free Bread $6.99 – This bread is decent for the price. Gluten-free bread is expensive, and the price at ALDI is better than most places. I buy it occasionally; however, it isn’t our favorite gluten-free bread.

Brown Rice Crisps $2.99- These are like a cross between a chip and a cracker. They make a great gluten free snack.

Cheese Crisps – These are not marked as gluten-free, but there are no gluten-containing ingredients in them. They are just dried cheese. I love them. They do have a warning on the label that they are processed in a facility that also packages products with wheat, so these might not be for everyone.

Gluten Free Granola – The price on the gluten free granola varies by flavor, but it is around $3.50 per package. Gluten free granola can be hard to find. We like the ALDI gluten free granola, especially for the price. I enjoy eating it as a snack or with yogurt.

ALDI Gluten Free Mac and Cheese

Gluten Free Mac and Cheese $2.69 – I love this mac and cheese, and that is not something I can say about a lot of gluten free products.

My husband and I don’t generally like chickpea pasta, but it works well in this mac and cheese. I bought this as an impulse buy one day when I needed an easy gluten-free side dish to go with some leftover meat that we were having for dinner. Both my husband and I loved it, and we have bought it several times since then.

I will say that it is still boxed mac and cheese; homemade is better, but for the price and the convenience, this is an item you will almost always find in my pantry.

Gluten Free Cornbread Mix – We love the ALDI gluten free cornbread mix. I have been buying for years. It is one of my favorite gluten free products at ALDI.

My family loves cornbread with soup and chili. I occasionally make homemade cornbread, but I usually use a mix instead of making it from scratch. It also works well dairy-free.

However, the gluten free corbbread mix is often not in stock. It is more of a seasonal item during the fall and winter. When I see it in stock, I buy several boxes.

ALDI Gluten Free Brownie Mix

Gluten Free Brownie MixALDI Gluten Free Brownnie Mix is another favorite at our house. I buy this gluten free brownie mix all the time and have served it to many people who do not eat gluten free.

The brownies are great, but the recipe on the back of the box for making brownie cookies is even better.

Gluten Free Pancake and Baking Mix – I debated on putting this on the list of things I buy. We have tried this gluten free mix, and although it is fine, we didn’t love it. If I were going to buy a gluten-free pancake mix, this isn’t the one I would buy. However, it is a reasonable price and not awful, so I understand why people love it.

ALDI Gluten Free Ramen Noodles

Gluten Free Ramen and Gluten Free Pho Noodles – These are something we just recently bought to try. It is a seasonal item, or at least an item that ALDI only carries this time of year. I stocked up on them because we love to make ramen and other soups with this type of noodle during the fall and winter.

Gluten Free General Tso’s Chicken – This makes the list because my daughter loves it for a quick and easy dinner. She is a teacher and keeps this in the freezer for an easy meal after a long day of work.

Gluten Free Pizza Dough – I have only seen this once at my ALDI store, and that was over a year ago. If I ever see it again, I will definitely buy it. It wasn’t the best pizza crust ever, but it did make pizza night quick, easy, and delicious.

Gluten Free Egg Rolls – This is another item that I have only seen a couple of times at my ALDI store. I think they only stock them during the months they focus on gluten-free products. We loved them. If I see them again, I will definitely buy some.

Those are our favorite gluten free products at ALDI. I would love to hear what your favorites are to buy.
