Lately I’ve been on a recipe makeover kick. There’s nothing I love more than overhauling my favourite childhood treats: Oreos. I loved these treats growing up and still crave them today! Besides the sugar coating left in my mouth, I don’t love the ingredient lists so I took it upon myself to create something that tastes like the real deal without all of the added junk! 

Traditional Oreo cookies have sugar (the first ingredient), canola oil and high fructose corn syrup but the truth is, none of those ingredients are needed! Lucky for you, I have enough drive to recreate this iconic recipe with ingredients that are actually good for you. Healthy oreos? You better believe it.

Raw Oreo Cookie Ingredients

As you know, Oreos have two main components: the cookies and the cream. The cookies are made out of:

  • Raw almonds
  • Flaxseed
  • Dates
  • Cacao
  • Sea salt

The cream has just as short of an ingredient list! You need:

  • Raw cashews
  • Coconut oil
  • Maple syrup
  • Vanilla bean
  • Stevia extract powder

Healthy Oreo Cookies

These homemade, raw oreos are sweetened completely with natural, unrefined sugar – dates, stevia and maple syrup. They’re high in fibre and healthy fats thanks to the nuts and flaxseed. They are high in antioxidants thanks to the cacao powder. Overall, these cookies are packed with superfood ingredients and a healthy treat to add into your diet!

How to Make Raw Oreos 

STEP 1: Add the almonds, flax and dates to a food processor and blend until the mixture reaches a rice-like consistency. Add in the cacao and sea salt and process until all of the ingredients are mixed into a ball.

STEP 2: Take two sheets of parchment paper and spray with coconut oil. Place the entire cookie dough ball on one sheet and cover with the other sheet. Use a rolling pin to roll out the dough until it’s about ¼ inch thick.

STEP 3: Using a cookie cutter or knife, cut out cookies. I used a circular cookie cutter but feel free to get creative! Allow cookies to sit in the fridge while you make the cream. 

STEP 4: Clean out your food processor and add in the soaked cashews, coconut oil and maple syrup. Blend until smooth. Add in the vanilla bean seeds and stevia and process for another minute. 

STEP 5: Remove the cookies from the fridge and spread a dollop of cream onto one cookie and cover with another. 

STEP 6: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks! Enjoy on their own or with peanut butter… all of you Parent Trap fans know what I’m talking about!

  8. These look great! Just curious, though – in the description under the second picture it says they’re sweetened with dates, stevia and maple syrup. I don’t see maple syrup in the ingredient list. Should it be there?

    Thanks!

    1. Oh no!!! Well look at that. I’m pretty sure I used a tablespoon of maple syrup in there but I didn’t write the recipe down (just typed it) so I can’t be sure. Some people have made the recipe without the maple syrup and were pleased with the results so I say it’s up to you!!! I plan to remake these soon so I will double check the batter and add the maple syrup if I think it’s lacking in sweetness 🙂

      Thanks for stopping by!
