Raw Oreos Recipe (Vegan & Gluten-free)

This recipe isone of my favourite cookie recipes, along with my date cookies and chocolate tahini cookies. The difference with these is that they’re raw/no-bake and are best eaten chilled straight out of the fridge, so they’re a really nice cool treat during summer, but are still rich and indulgent.

This recipe makes about 15 raw “oreos”. Usually when I eat cookies, I simply can’t stop eating them. I keep saying to myself ‘OK, just one more and then that’s it!’ but end up reaching out formoreanyway, which is a problem 😛 But because these raw oreosarequite rich,I feel satisfied after just eating one (sometimes two!) but no more than that. So theyshould last you a good few days.

I’m calling these cookies Oreos, even though both thehubby and my mum keep telling me it’s a bad idea as it setspeople’s expectations. Even though these cookies are super delicious and indulgent, they definitely don’t taste like ‘real’ Oreos and by calling them Oreos people will expect to taste Oreos when they bite into them.They might not taste like Oreos, but they’re definitely yummy, so I think I can get away with it 😛

Something that many of you don’tknow about me is that I’m soclumsy! I’m dropping things all the time, it’s not even funny. I don’t know how it happens. One minute I’m holding something in my hand, the next minute it’s on the floor! And being thefoodie I am,most of the time it’s food!

We’ve all been in that situation where we drop food onthe floor and we’re faced with the dilemma of ‘should I still eat it or not?’ I know I’ve been there more times than I would like to admit haha! I’m sure you’ve all heard of the 5second (sometimes 3second) rule. In that if you pick up the piece of food within 3 seconds it should be ok to eat. As far as I’m concerned, once it touches the floor it touches the floor. If bacteria are going to get on it they will the second it touches the floor. But if the floor is clean,is it still a no no to eat it anyway?

Here’s a fun infographic that will help you make thatdecision.

  3. 1/4 (4 tbsp) cup maple syrup (or any other liquid sweetener)
  4. 2.5 tbsp melted coconut oil
  5. 1/4 tsp salt

  5. 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  6. Pinch salt

Instructions

  1. To make the cookies - In a large bowl, mix together the oat flour, cocoa and salt, then mix in the maple syrup, vanilla and melted coconut oil. You should end up with a dough consistency.
  2. Roll out between 2 pieces of parchment paper to your desired thickness. Cut into circles (or stars, hearts...etc) using a cookie cutter.
  3. Use one of the sheets of parchment paper to cover a large plate or chopping board and arrange the cookies on top. Place in the fridge and leave for 30 minutes to set.
  4. To make the cream - drain and rinse the cashews and place them in a high powered blender/food processor along with the rest of the ingredients. Blend until smooth.
  5. Take the cookies out and sandwich with the cashew cream.
  6. Store them in the fridge, they taste so much better when chilled.
  7. Enjoy!

    Never being able to stop describes my relationship with granola and dark chocolate, especially if they have peanut butter or almond butter too! LOL! Anyways, you could probably recall these raw chocolate CRACK cookies for more accuracy! 🙂 I would love to try making them!

    So shocked and relieved that dates arent in the ingredients! As much as i love them, they are way too high in sugar for me right now, and most raw treats call for like 25 dates, its ridiculous. Thank you for sharing 🙂

FAQs

Are Oreos gluten-free and vegan? ›

All Oreos, including gluten-free Oreos, are dairy-free! They do not contain any animal products, so Oreos are considered vegan as well. Soy is the only common allergen present in gluten-free Oreos.

Are Oreos actually vegan? ›

Many vegans refer to Oreos as “accidentally vegan,” meaning they don't contain animal products — but they weren't created to be a specifically vegan treat. Oreos do not contain milk, eggs, or any other animal-derived products, so they are technically vegan in that sense. Plant-based cookies and cream lovers rejoice!

Which Oreo flavors are vegan? ›

Thins aside, the current lineup of vegan Oreo flavors includes Mint, Lemon, Dark Chocolate, Chocolate Hazelnut, Java Chip, Chocolate, Birthday Cake, Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie, Peanut Butter, and Caramel Coconut.

What is a vegan alternative to Oreos? ›

Newman's Own makes five varieties of Newman-O's crispy sandwich cookies made with organic flour and sugar: Chocolate Creme, Hint-O-Mint, Vanilla, Peanut Butter, and Original. It's going to be hard to choose which one to try first because they're all vegan-friendly and easy to find at most grocery chains.

Why can vegans eat Oreos? ›

Early Oreos had lard (animal fat) as a main ingredient, which is neither vegan nor vegetarian. In the 1990s, amid health concerns, this ingredient was changed to partially hydrogenated vegetable oil. Since then, traditional Oreo cookies have not contained any animal ingredients.

Why are Oreos not vegan? ›

One thing, however, makes Oreos a little less vegan than you've been led to believe. Oreos have "cross contact" with milk, meaning that small amounts of milk may have come into contact with either the cookies or the equipment used to make them.

When did Oreos stop being vegan? ›

So in January 2006, under pressure from the public, Oreo replaced the trans fat in the biscuits with non-hydrogenated oils. Still, the recipe included whey protein, which is derived from dairy, until 2013 in the UK and 2014 in the US. When that ingredient was removed, the cookies finally became animal-free.

Is peanut butter is vegan? ›

The bottom line. Most types of peanut butter are free of animal products and can be enjoyed as part of a vegan diet. However, some varieties are made in facilities that also process animal products or contain refined sugar that was produced using bone char or non-vegan ingredients like honey or fish oil.

Are Skittles vegan? ›

Skittles has not contained gelatin for the last decade or so, making them vegan-friendly. The natural and artificial flavors, colors, and texturizers are all plant-based or are created synthetically in a lab. The one exception is sugar, which strict vegans evaluate based on processing.

Is Jello vegan? ›

Marshmallows, Jell-O, gummy bears… although they seemingly bear no resemblance to animals (well, other than the gummy bears), these foods often aren't vegetarian. That's because they contain gelatin, a substance used to create the “fun,” gooey, chewy textures we expect from these foods.

Can vegans eat palm oil? ›

While many vegans will stay away from Palm Oil due to its negative associations with animal welfare, as it comes from a fruit, it is safe for vegans to eat.

Are Fritos vegan? ›

Since 1932, Fritos has provided snack-hungry Americans with a Texas twist on the tortilla chip. Fritos' unflavored deep-fried corn chips are gluten-free with no artificial flavors, preservatives, or MSG. These classics contain just three ingredients—corn, corn oil, and salt—making them vegan-friendly.

Is Honey vegan? ›

In the strictest definition of the word, honey is not vegan. As the product of a living being –honeybees, though there are other some 20,000 bee species to be found around the world – honey falls into the same category of non-vegan food products as milk and eggs.

What common candy is vegan? ›

Fortunately, loads of candies are vegan, so we can indulge our cravings (mostly) guilt-free. Most dark chocolate is vegan, as are popular sweet treats such as Smarties (known as Rockets in Canada), Oreos, Airheads, Jujubes, and Swedish Fish (some Swedish Fish contain beeswax, so be sure to check the label).

Are Oreos really gluten-free? ›

Allergens: Wheat

All of the above Oreo cookie flavors and colors are made with wheat flour. That mean none of the Oreo cookie flavors are gluten-free, so they are not safe for people with celiac disease.
