Healthy Vegan Cookie Dough Recipe

I had to share more healthy cookie dough recipes with you because my chickpea cookie dough has been such a big hit.

Most vegan cookie dough is technically safe to consume because it doesn’t have eggs in it, but it does need to have special heat-treated flour in it, which isn’t gluten-free.

I chose a mix of almond and coconut flours for this recipe since they are both common in gluten-free kitchens. However, this recipe is quite forgiving, and you can make it with just one or the other if that’s all you have.

Ingredients

Ingredients for healthy vegan cookie dough laid out on a table

Flour. To keep this dish totally paleo, we’ll use a blend of almond flour and coconut flour.

Butter. You can use coconut oil instead of butter, but for the finest taste, I really think you should stay with vegan butter!

Syrup from maple trees. We won’t use a lot of processed sugar to sweeten this healthy cookie dough. Instead, we’ll use only pure maple syrup. You can also use honey instead.

Salt and vanilla. To add a lot of taste!

Chips of chocolate. I choose to go with the conventional chocolate chip, but you could easily switch it out for sprinkles to make a funfetti version.

  • Almond flour
  • Coconut flour
  • Vegan butter or coconut oil
  • Pure maple syrup or honey
  • Salt
  • Vanilla
  • Chocolate chips
  • Oat flour (optional)

Instructions

Mixing cookie dough with wooden spoon in a bowl

  1. Put the butter or coconut oil in a bowl and microwave it until it melts. Whisk in the vanilla and maple syrup after it has melted.
  2. Put all the other ingredients in the bowl except for the chocolate chips and stir well. Add the chocolate chips in.
  3. Taste and change the flavors to your liking. You can add extra oat flour if the dough appears too wet, but it will harden up in the fridge.
  4. Put it in the fridge for about 20 minutes to harden. This will also help the flavors mix properly and make it beautiful and creamy as the butter or oil hardens.
  5. Put in bowls to serve, or roll into balls.

Storage and Serving Tips

You can keep this vegan cookie dough in the fridge for about a week or in the freezer for up to two months.

This healthy cookie dough stays good in the fridge or freezer. For optimum results, I recommend rolling the food into balls and putting it in an airtight container if you’re going to freeze them.

You could try baking these into real cookies, but I don’t know how well that would work because they don’t have any leaving agent or anything like that.

If you do try, I would recommend flattening them out a little bit before putting them in the oven. It should take about ten minutes at 350 degrees. Let us know how they turn out if you try that!

You may add a few tablespoons of peanut butter or vanilla protein powder to make this more of a protein cookie dough if you desire.
