What You Need
The ingredient list for these bites is short, sweet, and simple! Here’s what you need:
- ground oat flour
- all-natural peanut butter
- maple syrup
- vanilla extract
- dairy-free chocolate chips
- sea salt
Ingredient Swaps
- Nut butter: any nut butter works for this recipe! Just make sure it’s all-natural and “drippy” so that you can mix it easily.
- Sweetener: While maple syrup is our #1 choice to get that cookie dough flavor, you can also use honey, which is not vegan.
- Flour: We haven’t tested any other flours, but are confident that white whole wheat all-purpose flour, and gluten-free all-purpose flour will work similarly.
vegan cookie dough tips
Here are a few tips to keep in mind while you’re rolling out the dough for your cookie dough!
Too Thin/Thick?
Sometimes your batter can turn out a little thick and crumble and sometimes it can turn out a little too wet. This is 100% normal because the oil content in nut butters vary so much.
- To thin: add a little bit of water by the half teaspoon.
- To thicken: add oat flour by the half teaspoon.
Best kind of nut butter
If there is one thing you’re particular about when it comes to this vegan cookie dough recipe, it should be your nut butter!
Make sure that you find a peanut butter that is creamy, all-natural, and drippy. This means you should be able to stir it easily and it will drip off a spoon.
Storage Recommendations
For best results, we recommend storing your vegan cookie dough bites in the freezer or refrigerator.
Place cookie dough bites into a plastic bag or Stasher bag and remove as much air as possible. Store in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Vegan Cookie Dough Recipe
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup all-natural creamy peanut butter, drippy (any kind of nut butter works)
- 6 tablespoons ground oat flour
- 3.5 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup dairy-free mini chocolate chips
- Pinch of sea salt
Instructions
- Place all of the ingredients into a medium bowl and mix to combine. The texture should be very similar to classic cookie dough. If it’s too thick, add a little water by the 1/2 teaspoon. If it’s too thin, add a more oat flour by the 1/2 teaspoon.
- Place a piece of parchment paper onto your countertop. Then, roll the dough into a ball and then place it on top of the parchment paper.
- Flour a rolling pin with oat flour and then roll the dough into a 1/4-inch thick slab. Optionally sprinkle the dough with sea salt.
- Place the rolled out cookie dough into your fridge to let set for 15-20 minutes.
- Remove from the fridge and use a sharp knife to cut cookie dough into 1/4-inch squares.
- Store cookie dough in the freezer.

Made some modifications based on what I had on hand (almond meal instead of oat flour; 70% baker’s chocolate for the coating; no chocolate chips) and they were still delicious. Gotta love a recipe even I can’t screw up! My only ‘complaint’ is that they just don’t last long enough ๐
Hey Meg! Glad all of your modifications worked ๐
Hi! Just wondering what would be a old substitute for the almond butter as I have a nut allergy ๐
*good not old!
Hi Ruby ๐ don’t cha LOVEEEE autocorrect?! Are you allergic to all nuts? You can really use any kind of nut butter for this, but there really isn’t a good substitute because it’s the basis of the recipe! Fingers crossed you can have peanuts ๐
The 122 calories are for the whole recipe or for just one serving?
Just one serving!
You are the master of bites!! ๐
Hello! I am recently getting into veganism, I am just vegeterian right now. So, I am looking for dessert recipes with almond or hazelnut milk! I found yours and I would like to ask you please,, I live in Greece,Europe, here the maple suryp is pretty expensive. if i don’t include it in the recipe will there be a big difference in the taste of the cookie?? thank u!
Hi there! They definitely wont be as sweet. But you could add coconut sugar (or any kind of sweetener) instead and then add a little bit more water! Hope this helps!
DELICIOUS! Just made these tonight for an after-dinner treat! It’s so hard not to eat the entire batch! Can’t wait to try it out with some banana soft serve. I’m new to your website and I’m already in love! Looks like you found yourself a new subscriber! ๐
WOO HOO!! I was thinking I need to make another batch of these. They are so nice to have to just pop a few after dinner. It seems like a lot of work when you’re making them, but SO WORTH IT!
First things first: YUM! I saw this post and had to make it right away. I made a few substitutions because I didn’t have all of the ingredients listed, but they still turned out fabulous! I swapped whole wheat flour for the ground oat flour, natural peanut butter for almond butter, and honey for the maple syrup. I’m definitely going to have to hide these in the freezer so my roommates don’t eat them! ๐ Thanks for the recipe!
As for my favorite disney show, Lizzie McGuire was definitely it for me!
