All the vegan cookie recipes here are also gluten-free and refined sugar free, and some are grain-free and paleo too.

Most of these recipes are flexible and can easily be adapted based on your dietary requirements/budget/convenience/taste preferences! All the individual recipes include substitution notes, but in general:

  • Ground almonds (almond meal)ย can be replaced with ground walnuts or ground sunflower seeds.
  • Gluten-free flour can be replaced with rice flour.
  • If you're not gluten-free, the gluten-free flour can be replaced withย plain flour.
  • Liquid sweeteners can be used interchangeably:ย maple syrup, agave syrup, brown rice syrup etc.
  • Nut butters can be used interchangeably:ย peanut butter, almond butter, cashew butter, sunflower seed butter etc.

Not only are these cookies great for dessert, but as they all keep well for a few days, they also make great edible gifts or work for meal prep, snacks, or even breakfast!
