Gluten-free options are everywhere nowadays - especially at the grocery store.
From gluten-free crackers to bread to pretty much every cookie variety you can think of, finding a variety of options that actually taste good is a lot easier than it used to be for those who have a gluten allergy or sensitivity.
I've been gluten-free for about three years now. While I've never been one to crave desserts that often, sometimes a girl just needs to satisfy her sweet tooth with a good old fashioned cookie, you know?
Before I started following a gluten-free diet at the recommendation of my doctors for a variety of health issues I deal with, I would grab a small pack of Oreos from the gas station whenever I wanted something sweet, crunchy, and creamy. I loved them - especially dipped in peanut butter, "Parent Trap"-style.
So when I heard that Oreo was finally releasing a gluten-free version of its classic sandwich cookie, I was elated. Sure, I'd seen store-brand gluten-free "chocolate sandwich cookies" in the cookie aisle, but they weren't Oreos. They couldn't taste the same, could they?
Read on to find out how the new gluten-free Oreos stacks up against other prepackaged gluten-free cookies on the market - including its more widely available store-brand rival.
