Who doesn't like Oreos? They are so addictive! In addition, they are vegan! Oreos are not very healthy and you can't eat them if you are a celiac, but these homemade Oreos are gluten and dairy-free. You should also try them without the filling, they're so amazing!
As you can see, these cookies aren't as dark as traditional Oreos, this is because we haven't added as much c0coa powder as other recipes. If you add more cocoa, you'll probably need to add more sugar.
We've used coconut cream with vanilla extract to make the filling. We are in love with coconut cream, because we use it instead of whipped cream in many recipes, such us this gorgeous crepe cake. You should be patient with this cookie dough because it's made with rice flour, so it's more difficult to handle, but it's totally worth it!

Dorota says
Hello! These look lovely! Do you think xylitol could be used to replace brown sugar? Many thanks.
Iosune says
Hi Dorota! Thanks a lot 🙂 I've never used it, so I can't help you, sorry!
Keziah says
Can I use almond milk instead of soy? 🙂
Iosune says
Hi Keziah! You can use any plant milk 😀
Brian says
As of April, 2015, according to an e-mail from the company which produces Oreos, the sugar used is sometimes filtered using bone char and the company does not know whether or not any given batch of sugar used has been filtered in such fashion. So, the answer to whether or not Oreos are vegan actually depends on the batch of sugar used. However, since switching the filtering material is a relatively cheap process, if Vegans were to contact every sugar company, the overwhelming majority would probably either already have switched or readily do so. So, Vegans need to start contacting sugar companies.
Iosune says
Hi Brian! Thanks a lot for your comment 🙂 It depends on the country, here in Spain they don't use that kind of sugar 🙂
Sarah says
Can I substitute the rice flour with coconut flour? I only have regular wheat flour, coconut flour, and tapioca starch
Iosune says
Hi Sarah! I've never used coconut flour, so I can't help you. The regular wheat flour will work, but maybe you'll need to add more or less 🙂
Susan says
Can I use rice milk instead of soy milk? Granddaughter is allergic to soy.
Iosune says
Hi Susan! You can use any kind of milk you want 🙂
federica says
This will never stick together only with rice flour. I suggest using half rice flour and half corn starch (that is gluten free and helps a lot making the dough stick together)
Iosune says
Hi Federica! Thanks a lot for the idea 😀
Hamel says
Hi,
Can you replace the agave with maple syrup or something else?
Thanks,
Hamel
Iosune says
Hi Hamel! Of course! You can use any sweetener you like 🙂
Joy Miller says
Our family goes camping every fall - and for 30+ years we have taken Oreos! I've been so 'bummed' that I could not enjoy with the rest of the gang. (We actually toast each other when we first arrive at the camp site with an Oreo and that gesture marks the beginning of the camping trip, lol) So.... I can't wait to try these and feel a part of the group again!
Thank you SO much!
Iosune says
Hi Joy! I hope you like these cookies! They don't taste exactly like Oreos, but they taste amazing, I love them even more and they are so much healthier!
Celine says

eSEy Bee says
Uggghh, I got ALL excited, Then realized it has coconut, & I cannot have coconut!
Any ideas? I can have dairy, though.
Thank you.
BTW, I used to LOVE OREOs, especially Golden Oreos, BGF
(BeforeGlutenFree! lol)
Minimal Eats says
You can use some plant based whipped cream, or if you consume dairy products, you can also use whipped cream 🙂
nourished roots says
These look so yummy! I have been missing oreos. Do you think I could substitute a gluten free flour mix for the rice flour? If I did, would I need to make any adjustments to the recipe?
Minimal Eats says
Of course you can! But maybe you should add more or less milk 😉
indialeigh says
they look amazing! I've never actually eaten an Oreo. It seems I'm the only one! I think I should try these just so I can see what all the fuss is about!
Minimal Eats says
If you wanna try oreos, this recipe is a good choice!!! 😉
