Edible Cookie Dough Ingredients & Substitutions

As always this recipe is gluten-free and vegan. That said, I do test each recipe with “regular” ingredients and make notes of alternatives or swaps so that everyone can enjoy it.

Here are a few key ingredients for this gluten-free cookie dough but make sure you scroll to the bottom recipe card for the complete ingredient list.

Dry Ingredients

Oat Flour: This can be storebought or homemade. If you are making it at home, be sure to use gluten-free oats if need be. If you are not gluten-free, regular whole-grain oats will work instead. If you are oat intolerant, this can be swapped with almond flour.

Coconut Flour: I adore the added taste and texture the coconut flour adds. It can be swapped for more oat or almond flour if you do not have easy access to it.

Salt: Coarse sea salt adds a fabulous texture element, but whatever is in your pantry will work.

Chocolate Chips: Pascha’s 70% dark chocolate stevia-sweetened chips are what I used. If you are not dairy-free/vegan Lily’s has a great stevia-sweetened chocolate chip too. Regular chocolate chips will also work if you are not concerned about refined sugar.

Wet Ingredients

Maple Syrup: Use pure maple syrup to keep it refined-sugar-free. This can be swapped with agave, date syrup, or honey.

Coconut Oil: This can be swapped with vegan or regular butter. You could also use a nut butter.

Vanilla Extract: Pure vanilla extract will always be supreme but use whatever is in your pantry.

Easy Step-By-Step Instructions

Grab a large mixing bowl, a spatula, and a cookie scoop or spoon. Let’s make the most incredible vegan and gluten-free cookie dough.

1. In a large mixing bowl combine the oat flour, coconut flour, and coarse sea salt.

2. Pour in the maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract. Stir until a dough forms.
