I felt like 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 eat because it doesn’t have eggs in it, but it does need special heat-treated flour, which isn’t gluten-free.
I used a blend of almond and coconut flours for this recipe because they are both extremely prevalent in gluten-free kitchens. However, this recipe is quite forgiving, so you can make it with just one or the other if that’s all you have.
Important parts
Flour. This recipe will be 100% paleo because we’ll be using both 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 the vegan butter!
Syrup from maple trees. We’ll use only pure maple syrup to sweeten this healthy cookie dough instead of a lot of refined sugar. You can also use honey instead.
Salt and vanilla. To add a lot of taste!
Chocolate pieces. I choose to go with the conventional chocolate chip, but you could easily swap in sprinkles for a funfetti version!

How to create cookie dough that is vegan
- Put the butter or coconut oil in a bowl and heat it up in the microwave.
- Add the maple syrup and vanilla after the butter has melted.
- Put all the other ingredients in the bowl, except for the chocolate chips, and whisk thoroughly to blend.
- Add the chocolate chips and mix.
- Taste and change the flavors to your liking. You can add extra oat flour if the dough appears too wet, but it will stiffen in the fridge.
- Put it in the fridge for about 20 minutes to let it solidify. This will also help the flavors mix properly and make it creamy as the butter or oil hardens.
- Put the food in bowls to serve, or roll it into balls.
How to keep and freeze
You can store this vegan cookie dough in the fridge for about a week or in the freezer for up to two months.
You can keep this nutritious cookie dough in the fridge or freezer. For optimum results, I recommend rolling the food into balls and putting them in an airtight container before putting them in the freezer.
Can I put them in the oven?
You could try baking these into cookies, but I’m not sure 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 down a little before putting them in the oven. It should take about 10 minutes at 350 degrees. Let us know how they turn out if you try that!
Put in some protein!
You can add a few tablespoons of peanut butter or vanilla protein powder to make this more of a protein cookie dough.
