Biscuits à l'avoine et au citron
Ingrédients
- ¾ tasse Flocons d'avoine à l'ancienne - (remarque 1)
- 1 tasse Farine d'amande - (remarque 2)
- 2 Cuillères à soupe Le jus de citron - juice from 1 lemon + 2 tsp zest if you like
- ⅓ tasse de sirop d'érable
Optional for extra falvors
- 2 cuillère à café Zeste de citron - from previous lemon
- ¼ cuillère à café L'extrait d'amande - facultatif
Glaçage au citron
- 1 cuillerée à soupe Le jus de citron
- ½ tasse Sucre en poudre
Instructions de Pose et d'Entretien
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper. Lightly oil the paper with cooking oil spray. Set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, add rolled oats, almond flour, maple syrup, lemon juice, almond extract, and lemon zest if used.
- Stir with a rubber spatula at first, then lightly oil your hands and squeeze the dough to bring everything nicely together into a sticky cookie dough.
- Scoop out some batter with a cookie dough scoop, press firmly in the scoop to pack the cookie dough, then release it on the baking sheet and flatten the top of the cookies with the palm of your hand. If the sides crack, wet your fingers to pat and reform the cookie.
- Repeat until no more cookie dough is left – I made 6 large cookies with the batter.
- Bake them for 14-16 minutes at 350°F (180°C) until nicely golden brown.
- Let them cool down for 15 minutes at room temperature on the baking sheet. Do not touch them. They firm up as they cool down.
- Transfer them to a cooling rack for another 1 hour before serving.
Lemon Glazed cookies
- If you like sweet lemon cookies, prepare the lemon glaze by stirring powdered sugar and lemon juice in a small mixing bowl. It should form a thick and creamy paste.
- Dip the cooled cookies upside down and twist in the glaze to ice the lemon cookies, then flip and place on a rack to let the excess glaze run down.
- Sprinkle extra lemon zest on top if you like its tangy flavor and cool the cookies in the fridge an hour to set the icing.

Alimentation
Ingrédients et substitutions
You only need 4 ingredients to make the cookies. Here’s how to pick them.

- Flocons d'avoine à l'ancienne – These provide texture and fiber to the cookies. Quick oats or certified gluten-free oats are also fine. For a completely gluten-free option, you can use quinoa flakes.
- Farine d'amande – This gluten-free flour acts as a base for the cookies. Ensure you use ultra-fine almond flour, not almond meal, to avoid dry and fragile cookies. Sunflower seed flour is a potential nut-free alternative.
- Le jus de citron – This adds a tangy lemon flavor. Freshly squeezed or store-bought freshly pressed lemon juice will work.
- de sirop d'érable – This liquid sweetener provides sweetness. Agave syrup or coconut nectar can also be used.
You can also add the following:
- Zeste de citron – This enhances the lemon flavor with its aromatic oils.
- L'extrait d'amande – This optional ingredient adds a subtle nutty flavor that works very well with the lemon.
- Sucre en poudre – This is used to make the lemon glaze, adding sweetness and a smooth texture. Powdered allulose can be used as a refined sugar-free alternative.
- Le jus de citron – To make the glaze taste lemony.
How to Make Lemon Oatmeal Cookies
These cookies are really easy to whip up. Here’s how in pictures.

Pour the ingredients in a large mixing bowl and grate the lemon zest.

Stir the mixture with a spatula until well combined.

Use an ice cream scoop to scoop out the batter and form 6 cookies on a baking sheet.

Flatten the cookies and bake them for 14-16 minutes at 350°F (180°C).
Conseils de pâtisserie de Carine
Permettez-moi de partager quelques conseils supplémentaires pour des biscuits parfaits.
- Quinoa Flake Substitute – If you don’t tolerate oats, you can replace them with quinoa flakes.
- Citrus Flavor Variations – Feel free to swap the lemon juice and zest for lime or orange juice and zest to create different citrus-flavored cookies.
- Sweet Glaze Option – Add the lemon glaze to increase the sweetness of the cookies. You can use powdered allulose in the glaze if you prefer a refined sugar-free option.







Excited to make the lemon cookies.
J'ai hâte d'avoir vos commentaires à ce sujet !
Thank you soo much for your cookie recipes, I can’t wait to make them. When I do I will be thinking of you.
Thank you, I look forward to hear back from you.
very Yammi
Merci !
This is great although I changed up a bit. Used orange instead of lemon, orange extract instead of almond and added about 1/2 cup dried cranberries. Baked 12 minutes! Yummy!
That sounds amazing with orange and cranberries!
My better half loves GF breakfast lemon bars. I made these cookies once , and she loved them. I made the same recipe again, but i made a triple batch and used a rolling pin to roll the dough onto the greased / parchment covered baking pan. After letting it cool for the 15 minutes, I used a pizza cutter and cut out about 3 dozen bars! I have tried many other recipes to make GF & no refined sugar bars, but none worked a beautifully as this simple, yet delicious recipe. Thank-you!
This is the most beautiful comment I have read today! thank you
These were delicious! I used about 1/2 of a locally made lavender simple syrup and 1/2 maple syrup. I also added dried blueberries.
Lavender and lemon sounds so good! Thank you so much for trying my recipes.
Easy and AMAZING. Absolutely a keeper. Didn’t change a thing, and glazed mine.
Thank you! I also enjoy the glazing, it adds a little something 🙂
Oh wow, really impressed. The combination of ingredients works so well. I made them without bothering with the glaze, and are still very tasty. Thank you! So happy I found such a yummy easy recipe.
Merci!
These look lovely! Is the oven temp bake or fan assisted please?
Bake. Enjoy!
Truly appreciate the variety of flavors in so many of your recipes but still using accessible ingredients but more importantly that you include the nutritional value for those of us that have to watch their intake for health purposes.
These lemon cookies were outstanding even without the glaze. Refreshing lemon taste without the excess sweetness was lovely. Thank you!
Merci beaucoup!
