Delicious Vegan “Oreos”… Oreos. Just made a little bit more nourishing!

Who doesn’t love Oreos? I certainly grew up snacking on Oreos, as well as their mini counterparts (yum!), but nowadays I have to buy their GF ones and they actually do taste the same! Before they came out with the GF version, these were my go-to option for a more nourishing, homemade gluten-free version! Delicious, wholesome oreos.

Made with ingredients such as dates (high potassium, high fiber), cacao powder (hello iron, antioxidants and magnesium) as well as raw almonds (heart healthy fats!).

Coconut butter and coconut oil also make these cookies creamy, satisfying, & satiating. Yay for fats!

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

• For the cookie:
• 1 cup raw nuts of choice (I used almonds)
• 6–8 medjool dates (soften for ~10 minutes in warm water)
• dash cinnamon
• 2–3 TBSP coconut oil, melted
• 1 TBSP ground flax
• 1 TBSP honey or maple syrup
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• dash of cinnamon
• dash of sea salt
• 3 heaping TBSP of cacao powder or unsweetened cocoa powder
• optional: small scoop of chocolate protein powder (add more coconut oil if needed for proper consistency)
• For the filling:
• 1 cup coconut butter, softened
• 2–3 TBSP organic powdered sugar (or powdered stevia)
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

1. In a food processor, add all ingredients for the cookies and blend on high until a dough-like consistency forms. If too dry, add a small amount of coconut oil until desired consistency is reached. If too oily, add more cacao powder and flax or chocolate protein powder.
2. Add dough to a small bowl and let sit in fridge for about 10-15 minutes to harden a bit.
3. Lay out parchment or wax paper, add cookie dough on top, then place second sheet over top. With a rolling pin, roll out dough until desired cookie thickness.
4. Cut out cookies into small circle or desired shapes (I used heart cookie cutters! 🙂 )
5. Next, make filling by warming up coconut butter until softened in the microwave.
6. Mix in powdered sugar and vanilla extract and mix until blended.
7. Top 1/2 of the cookies with ~1 TBSP filling and top with another cookie.
8. Repeat until all cookies are used.
9. Enjoy!

I decorated my “raweos” with edible stars to make them even more fun! Michael’s is a great store for finding fun baking decorations like these.

I’ve been taking these to work with me as a post-lunch energizing dessert. 🙂 What is your favorite sweet treat?
