Homemade Gluten‑Free & Dairy‑Free Oreos (Better‑for‑You Copycat Cookies)

If you grew up loving classic Oreo cookies but want a version that fits a gluten‑free, dairy‑free, and refined sugar‑free lifestyle, these homemade Oreos are going to be your new obsession.

They’re crisp on the outside, soft in the center, and filled with a creamy vanilla frosting that tastes just like the nostalgic original — without the processed ingredients.

Made with almond flour, oat flour, raw cacao, and naturally sweetened with coconut sugar and maple syrup, these cookies come together quickly and can be customized for any holiday or flavor twist.

Whether you’re baking for your kids, prepping a fun weekend project, or craving a cleaner dessert, this recipe delivers all the Oreo magic in a wholesome way.

Serves: 13

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup Almond Flour
• 1/2 cup Oat Flour
• 1/2 cup Cacao Powder, Raw
• 5 Tbsp Coconut Sugar
• 1 tsp Baking Powder
• 1 pinch Sea Salt

Process

1. Combine your dry ingredients together, then combine wet in a separate bowl
2. Pour wet into dry until dough forms

4. Roll dough btwn 2 pieces of parchment paper, then take a small oreo-size cookie cutter to create your cookies. I got 26 (13 oreo cookie sandwiches)
5. Place on parchment paper and bake at 350 for 7-8 minutes
6. Allow to cool on baking sheet then place on cooling rack until cool to touch
7. I used Miss Jones organic vanilla icing with natural green dye, piped on half of the cookies
8. Place cookie sandwiches in the fridge until frosting has set
9. Enjoy!

Can I make these cookies vegan?

Yes — swap the egg for a flax egg (1 tbsp ground flax + 3 tbsp water). The texture will be slightly softer but still delicious.

Can I use a different frosting?

Absolutely. The recipe uses Simple Mills or Miss Jones vanilla frosting, but any dairy‑free frosting works. You can also make your own if you prefer.

Do these cookies get crispy like Oreos?

They’re slightly softer than store‑bought Oreos, but chilling them in the fridge after assembling helps them firm up and gives that classic bite.

How should I store homemade Oreos?

Store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. They also freeze well for up to 2 months.

Can I make them chocolate‑filled instead of vanilla?

Definitely — just use a chocolate dairy‑free frosting or mix cacao powder into your vanilla frosting.

How do I make them mint Oreos?

Add about 1/3 teaspoon mint extract to the frosting for a refreshing twist
