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

I just made these today, and they are tasting great! I had a couple of questions, though. When I made my icing it wasn’t as white as yours; it was more of a cream color. Is that something I can fix or does it just happen sometimes? Also do you know of any way to get the dough to be not as crumbly when trying to roll it out?
the cream color is probably due to the vanilla extract, it just happens. measure a little less than 3/4 cup flour to make the dough less crumbly
so…made slutty brownies with this recipe, your cookie dough and black bean brownie recipe.
Maaaaaan so good!!
Thanks so much Katie 🙂
I just made these. Really gooooood!!
Awesome. Thanks!
my brother was like “these dont actually seem that healthy”
and i was like “then go away because you cant have any you big bully”
oh and they taste perfectly fine with reg. cocoa.
oh i also used a heart shaped cookie cutter since i couldn’t find a circle. they’re adorable.
I made a recipe for golden oreos:
same everything except increase flour to 1 cup, omit the chocolate, and increase vanilla extract to 1/2 tbsp. If the dough is not dough-like yet, keep adding flour until it is 🙂
DANG. I literally /just/ got through cooling these and they really do taste like oreos! I used King Arthur’s multipurpose gf flour and added in 1/2 tsp xanthan gum, used the coconut oil, and for the filling i just used earth balance since i have no shortening (it would be great in some oatmeal cream pies, I bet!). I really wanted to do powdered xylitol instead of sugar, but my food processor is too wimpy to powder anything, so these are already giving me a bit of a sugar buzz! Overall a great recipe <:
I just made these today! Didn’t really taste like Oreos, but still yummy!
I made these today–this recipe is fantastic! They’re like whoopie pies, only better because…. they’re like Oreos! I want to make them for a party or get-together sometime. Thanks for the recipe…. now my brother who eats way too many Oreos can at least enjoy something a little healthier (yes, he liked them :)).

Hello! First of all I LOVE your blog. I just have a question. Fathers Day is coming up and my Dad has a big sweet tooth. He wants me to make chocolate chip cookies covered Oreos, which basically entails surrounding an Oreo with chocolate chip cookie dough, obviously! If I used these Oreos to make the “healthy” version, would the cream filling melt? I’m not sure how the recipe would turn out this way. Thank you so much!
Hm, I’m not sure either… it might melt but still might taste good. Or maybe you could replace the coconut butter with something like non-hydrogenated shortening? Good luck experimenting! If you find something that works, I’d love to hear the results. It sounds really fun :).
Hi! Where do you buy dutch cocoa powder? Would Hershey’s Special Dark work and still taste authentic?
Got about half way through the recipe….and then my sister and I couldn’t bear the 30 min refridgeration of the chocolate dough…so we just ate it!!! Maybe someday I will actually finish the recipe 😉
Is it possible to replace the spelt flour with whole wheat pastry flour?
Sorry, I have never tried. 🙁
Hoooooly frogs i think i just died and went to food heaven!!!! You are freakin amazing!! Im read page after page after page on your blog!! Woow!!
Ive never had oreos cause i got my celiac disease, before the where invented! I would love to try these, but im also allergic to corn so gluten free flours dont work for me 🙁 Is it possible to make with coconut flour? *Im wishing* lol
I love this dessert. My husband hates coconut. I made these Healthy Oreos for myself. I told my husband he would not like the cookie because of the coconut. I did not want him eating my dessert. Well, it did not work. We all fell in love with this cookie. Thank you for helping all our family eat better.

Do NOT sub oil w/ applesauce. I did and I had to start over completely. I tried everything to save that dough, but it was no use. Just follow the recipe.
BTW, great recipe Katie. 🙂
did you substitute all of the oil or just half?
