Healthy Vegan Oreos
These healthy and vegan Oreos give you the same deliciousness of the original, without all the high fructose corn syrup or trans fat.
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup spelt, white, or oat flour
- 6 tbsp dutch cocoa powder – regular cocoa is fine; they just won’t taste as authentic
- 6 tbsp unrefined or regular sugar, or xylitol for sugar-free
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup vegetable or coconut oil
- 3 tbsp milk of choice
- 2 tbsp pure maple syrup, honey, or agave
Instructions
- *For the Oreo filling, beat together 1/2 cup powdered sugar or sugar free powdered sugar, 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract, and 1/4 cup melted coconut butter OR non-hydrogenated shortening (such as Spectrum) or Earth Balance spread, either with beaters or a food processor, or patiently by hand, until completely smooth.For the Oreos, combine first 5 cookie ingredients, and stir very well. In a separate bowl, combine remaining ingredients for the cookies. Mix wet into dry to form a dough, then refrigerate 30 minutes before baking. Preheat oven to 300 F. Put dough in a plastic bag, and smush into one big ball. Remove from bag, roll into a thin dough, and cut flat circles using a circle cutter or a circle-shaped lid. Bake on a greased cookie tray for 10 minutes; they’ll still look a little underdone when they come out of the oven, but that’s okay. It's important to allow them to cool 10 minutes before removing from the tray, as they firm up during this time. Put about a teaspoon on half of the cookie discs, then top each with remaining cookie discs and refrigerate to set. Store in the fridge so the filling stays hard.View Oreos Nutrition Facts

Before I went healthy and got all of my food allergies, I used to eat oreos all of the time. I remember one instance where I consumed 2 whole rows in about a half hour time frame. Yikes.
My brother is an avid oreo fan though. His favorite are the mint chocolate oreos, dipped in chocolate. That would be a great recipe for you to remake as well!! He would love you. haha. I think they are called Fudge Creme Mints. Apparently they are addicting because sometimes we have to buy two packages a week for him.
Oreos are one of my weaknesses, I could eat 10 of them in one sitting if I let myself. I found Late July’s version of Oreos a few months ago, and those are organic and have whole grains and green tea extract, so I feel better about eating them, but now I can make homemade ones 😉 I would put some peanut butter on them too
Hi Katie! Lovely recepie. The filling is a little bit too sweet for me. But easily you can take a little less sugar. My cookies did not rise at all in the oven. I followed the recepie amounts. I do not know why it did not work out. I would be happy to get some advice 👌😊
Hi Annica! The cookies are not supposed to rise. They are flat, like Oreos 🙂
Who is eating all those Oreos, you ask? My husband. My husband is eating all those Oreos. He can seriously polish off half a package in one sitting. And I just stare in disbelief as I imagine all the sugar that man is taking in. Yikes! I am going to make these and have him give them a try!
And my mom!
Katie, these look so adorable – you’re so creative with your recipes! Is the nutrition link for cookies made with xylitol? Thanks!
She put a note below the nutrition label saying that the nutrition is for sugar for both the filling and the cookies.
Is the nutritional info for the full regular sugar version, or…?
Thanks!
🙂
I would have to assume the nutritional info is using xylitol since the sugar is practically zero. If you are using regular sugar and powdered sugar I calculate total cals to be 81 with 4.4 grams of sugar per cookie sandwich. (I took calories in 1/4 cup of sugar and 1/2 cup powedered sugar divide by 24 and added that to Katie’s calorie count. )
@ Anne: it would actually be less than that, because xylitol DOES have calories too. Almost as much as sugar, so the calories wouldn’t change much, just the sugar amount.
Thanks Emma! I haven’t yet worked with xylitol and assumed it was like a splenda. Thanks for making me aware.
Thanks! It’s particularly the carbs I’m wondering about. Thoughts on those, using both the regular sugar and regular powdered sugar? Seems unlikely that they are already included, but previously she’s specified, so I wasn’t sure. 🙂
My can of xylitol says 4g carbs for 1 tsp, which is the same as sugar (I just googled for a sugar label as well). So that shouldn’t be any different.
Thank you!!
I don’t believe xylitol affects the blood glucose like sugar does, even though the same 4g of carbs.
Xylitol has HALF the calories of sugar, usually about 2kcal per 1g Xylitol and 4kcal for 1g of sugar;)
Do you think I’d be able to use erythritol instead of xylitol?
Katie, these look beyond awesome!!!
!!!!
I love how my day gets better when i see you post a recipe!! I need to make these now!!! But i have dishes up to the sky to clean and not sure i want to add to it. Decisions decisions….!
Choose chocolate! Chocolate should always win ;).
The first thing I do is always run to your nutritional facts to see how many of these I could eat!
Hmmm it makes 24? To me, that means I can eat 24. 😉
Ok not really, but if they’re even half as good as all the other CCK recipes I’ve tried, I bet I could eat 24 at once.
Mmmm I might have to make them today. I wonder if my boss would let me go early if I promised to bring her back some.
If I was your boss I’d totally accept an Oreo bribe to leave early 🙂
haha why are you on cck whilst at work?
I have been excited for your Oreo recipe ever since you first mentioned it awhile ago. You amaze me, and your posts always make my day. Every time I check your site, I’m reminded why this is my favorite blog.
THANK YOU!
My mouth is watering just looking at those.
I’m a huge Oreo lover!! I love dunking them in milk or dipping them in peanut butter. Cookies ‘n cream is one of my favorite ice cream flavors too!
I’m an Oreo lover! I could eat a whole packet easily if I wanted to. I used to love them with peanut butter 🙂
I was having Oreo cravings today looking through the supermarket, but I resisted and came home to this recipie! It was meant to be, definitely trying these.
YUM!! And now I dare you to take those homemade Oreo cookies and make a homemade cookies and cream milkshake. 🙂
Me too!!
I adore Oreos. They are my favourite store-bought cookie. And honestly, I couldn’t tell you why. The outside is too hard, the creme is very artificial-tasting. And yet I could probably polish off a whole bag by myself if someone was stupid or careless enough to leave me alone in a room with one.
My boyfriend loves oreo, and we are not even from us, or living in the us
Wow these look amazing – sort of like those oreo whoopie pies. Is that what the texture is like of the cookie or is it more crunchy like an actual oreo cookie? Anyway, I love oreos! Going to have to try this as well as your powdered sugar recipe.
Store in a plastic container for soft cookies. Otherwise they are crispy like Oreos… and you can make them even crispier if you wish, by cooking a tiny bit longer.
So glad you asked this. I hate the oreo whoopie pies (oreo cakesters, I think they’re called), but I looooooove regular oreos. I was hoping this recipe would be more like the original!
