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

Hi Katie this is my first post! Woohoo! I love your recipes and each week I choose one to cook up for my family as a healthy lunch snack :). Next week I was thinking of making your healthy chocolate Mousse cheesecake bars. Would these work if I baked them in a tin for the crust, or would it be better if I bake them, then crush them and mix them with butter/coconut oil? Or would you advise one of your raw crust recipes? Thanks from NZ!! 🙂
You’ll have to experiment to see how it works. Please let us know the result, if you do.
Can I use almond flour instead of spelt flour
You can always experiment! If you do, let us know the result.
Another FAB recipe! I only like the cookie part of Oreos (as a kid I would scrape out the cream and throw it away), so at first glance I thought I’d skip making the filling. Then I saw the filling was coconut butter and that changed my mind quick! These came out delicious, filling and all!
You realize that these aren’t that healthy……..
Hi Katie, these look amazing, but could I use, almond meal?
You can always experiment. Be sure to report back if you do!
Recipe looks great, but I’m confused with the amount of flour used; 120g = 1cup but you list it as 3/4cup. Could you clarify which amount please?
Always go with the gram measurements when given for a recipe, as cups will vary weight-wise depending on whether it is fully packed or loosely packed.
Hello Katie! I have a question. What’s the inch of your circle cutter when you made this?
Katie, Can you substitute sucralose for the xylitol in this recipe? I could not find xylitol in any of the stores in my area.
Thanks, Annette
You would probably do better with a splenda baking blend if you want to keep it sugar free. You need something that measures the same bulk as sugar. Be sure to report back if you do try!
Would it work if I used almond flour for this recipe?
Did you include the powdered sugar in your nutrition facts? It’s not in the ingredients list, which is why I ask.
YUM! How large are the Oreos in size?
Hi would regular butter be okay to substitute for the coconut butter? My brothers favorite cookies are Oreos so was thinking of making these for his birthday.
I love your recipes especially because both my son and I are diabetics. I make them often. I have only one suggestion. Although I PIN them, I usually print a copy of something that I am going to make right off. I wish that when I printed the recipe the Nutrition Facts printed as well. I have also gotten your cookbook (not the newest one yet) and pass some recipes onto my sister-in-law who is following Weight Watchers. We love the fact that the points are indicated. Keep it up and !
Soooo going to need to try these!
Yummy ! 🙂 it looks so delicious and a stomach filler, I will definitely try these at home and the pictures are also impressive 🙂 thanks for sharing this Katie 🙂
Good Oreo type cookie. The dutch cocoa makes a huge difference in the chocolate!
Aw I love the picture!
