I have had excellent results substituting rolled rice (sometimes called rice
flakes) for oats. I used a regular oatmeal cookie recipe, substituting Bette
Hagman's gluten-free flour mixture for the wheat flour and substuting rolled
rice for the oatmeal. I did find out by trial and error that the rolled rice
requires soaking before it is used or it will be too chewy :( I measure it
and then cover it with water and soak it in the water for about 30-60 minutes.
Drain the water before adding it to the cookie dough.
I realize that many celiacs do not eat quinoa, but I have also had good luck
with using quinoa flakes in baking as a substitute for rolled oats. The box
that I buy at Vitamin Cottage, here in Denver, states that it is gluten-free,
so I feel safe eating it.
