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

Now I can finally make my own instead of buying the whole foods “oreos” (not that they tasted bad or anything. Like Katie said… homemade is always better)!!!
i am soooo excited!
YOU HAVE THE BEST BLOG!
This looks so good! I love oreos and homemade ones are even better, especially when they’re healthified (my new word). Can’t wait to try them 🙂
I made these & they tasted great but the texture of your frosting looks way creamier than mine turned out (mine was pretty dry & crumbly). I used coconut butter & my cuisinart to mix. Thoughts?
Depending on where you live (and the outside air temperature and climate), coconut butter can vastly vary in texture. I’m almost 100% positive that’s what could be the difference.
I actually have always hated Oreos… guess I’m unAmerican.
Double stuf is good though
I am a huge Oreo lover! Not the plain cookie so much but more like Oreo ice cream or something like that…these would be. Perfect in ice crew,…healthy though? Not sure i buy that 😉
Hey! so I love your blog, and I was just wondering for your recipes do you melt your coconut oil first or do you leave it in solid form?
I made your crunch bars tonite and while they taste good, it didn’t really look like your picture or a chocolate bar! I left the coconut oil solid though and had to add quite a bit of water so I was wondering if you actually melted it in that recipe and others?
Thanks!!

For this one, you need to use the butter, not the oil.
But for the crispy bars, yes it should be liquid… here in Texas, that’s not a problem. It’s already liquid all the time ;).
I subbed peanut butter for coconut butter for the frosting. It’s a little crumbly, but delicious. Great recipe, Katie!
I love the new look of your site! Great change. (And who wouldn’t love any Oreo related cookie!? Yum!)
Oh I wonder how these would be covered in chocolate… I think filled cookies are often quite bland and hard and boring, but dipping in dark chocolate would probably correct this. Or crumbleing these on one of your healthy ice creams… yum!
So ironic you posted this. I am actually a Sales Rep for Nabisco!! I personally am not an Oreo fan but I’m definitely going to give this recipe a whirl!
Not me I haven’t eaten oreos in years but this sounds like it’s right up my alley! Would raw cacao powder work for the chocolate? What is dutch cocoa powder?
Raw cocoa is fine; they just won’t taste as authentic. Dutch cocoa has a different taste.
I might make these and put a slice of banana in the middle instead of the frosting, cause then they’re even healthier! 🙂
Good morning! Today I bake for a vegan bake sale so at a minimum these are on my list to experiment with. If I like how they turn out they will go towards the bake sale as well…and if I don’t eat them all. 🙂
Yum!! I love Oreo’s, but I’m not one of the 70 million that buys them!!! I have to try your recipe out this weekend! It sounds wonderful!
I LOVE oreos. Pinned these and can’t wait to make them!
