This Healthy Vegan Cookie Dough is the perfect sweet treat! And no worries about consuming raw ingredients here – this is made with 100% plant-based foods!
Hello, everyone! I am so so SO excited to share this recipe with you today, because it’s probably one of my most favorite things I’ve ever made. Inspired by rockstar instagrammers such as Rawlishious and Blendlove, makers of insanely dreamy vegan treats, I set out to make a treat that was like biting into a raw chunk of cookie dough! And I did!!
To be honest, I felt really accomplished after making these healthy vegan cookie dough slices, because I am not the most confident maker of sweet treats. My baking skills are sub-par at best; I hate that you can’t tweak ratios and ingredients in baking recipes like you can in their savory counterparts. Everything has to be so. exact. And there’s nothing wrong with that per se, but I’d consider myself to be a “free spirit” in the kitchen (i.e. a pinch of this, a pinch of that), unhindered by exacting measurements. (I wonder what that says about my personality?) But that’s where raw vegan desserts come in. There’s no baking (only dehydrating, if anything), and you have a lot of leeway when it comes to measurements. Add half a chocolate bar or a whole one, it won’t make a difference. (But obviously you’d want the whole chocolate bar!)
The point is, this healthy vegan cookie dough is a very forgiving recipe. But most importantly, it’s insanely delicious. I taste-tested them on three non-vegan dudes, who all LOVED them. I brought up my plate full of raw cookie dough to my friend’s apartment, and by the time I had to go, there was only one left! Ohhh boys.
Healthy Vegan Cookie Dough
Ingredients
Wet Ingredients
- 2 Tbs Coconut Oil melted
- 1/3 Cup Raw Coconut Butter
- 1/4 Cup Almond Butter
- 1/3 Cup Agave Nectar or Maple Syrup
- 1 Tsp Vanilla Extract
- 2 Tbs Almond Milk
Dry Ingredients
- 1 Cup Spelt Flour
- 1/2 Cup Coconut Flour
- Pinch of Salt
- 1 Vegan Chocolate Bar chopped
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix all of the wet ingredients until evenly combined.
- In a larger bowl, mix together the dry ingredients until evenly combined.
- Fold in wet ingredients to dry, and mix until a clumpy dough is formed.
- Chop chocolate bar into small-ish pieces, and fold into dough.
- Line a pan with parchment paper (I found that a bread loaf pan was the perfect size). Press dough firmly down into pan, being sure to press down on the sides as well.
- Put pan in the freezer and let cookie dough set for an hour.
- After an hour, take cookie dough out of the freezer and cut into slices.
- Enjoy!

Coconut flour can be sometimes hard to find. Can I sub it with something? Maybe with some shredded coconut? Anyways, thanks for sharing the recipe :)
Sarah
February 24, 2016 at 8:33 amYou could make your own coconut flour from shredded coconut!! I found some directions here :)

February 24, 2016 at 2:54 pmI 100% feel you–I’m the laziest wannabe baker/cook in the world. I like to experiment and it’s so hard to do that when baking!!! And whenever I try something that actually turns out edible AND good, I forget to write down what I did. Arghhh
These look absolutely magical by the way
Sarah
February 24, 2016 at 2:59 pmBaking is hard, right? I want some room to experiment too! And thanks, girl ;)

March 6, 2016 at 12:06 pmI don’t have spelt flour. Can I replace it with something else?
Sarah
March 6, 2016 at 1:19 pmYou can substitute it for whole wheat or all-purpose flour :)

May 9, 2016 at 2:29 pmHi Well and Full! I just discovered your page and am SO happy that I did. I really want to make these bars but is there any way to make them gluten free? Do you suggest subbing the spelt flour for coconut flour or almond flour? Maybe quinoa flour? Thank you!
Sarah
May 9, 2016 at 3:28 pmHey Lee!! Thanks for stopping by :) I haven’t tested this recipe with gluten-free flours so I can’t vouch for them working or not, but I bet almond flour would taste delicious in this recipe. Or maybe a gluten-free all purpose flour mix, I like this recipe by Minimalist Baker. Hope this helps :)

January 10, 2017 at 11:12 amHi! I couldn’t find coconut butter at the store. What could I use instead?
Sarah
January 10, 2017 at 12:19 pmHi Jessi, I don’t think coconut butter could be replaced with anything due to its unique structure :( I’m sorry!
