These Healthy Homemade Oreos will fulfill your wildest dreams! They’re chocolatey and sweet and 100% delicious and addicting, they’re serious rivals to the storebought variety. But, there’s something very different about this DIY version… these aresugar free, gluten free, dairy free, and vegan!

I remember a time when I was young, still living in Canada at the time, so maybe5 or 6 years old, when I used to eat Oreos for breakfast. One specific memory I have is when my mother walked into the kitchen to find me eatingthat deplorable, sugary breakfast. She stared at the three rows of chocolate sandwich cookies in the classic bright blue package. Well, by the time she walked in there were only two rows left…

Sheglancedat the plastic wrapperthat I had torn open like some savage, starving animal. With chocolate cookie crumbs coating my chubby cheeks and little fingers, I looked at her as I grabbed another Oreo. I shoved a cookie in my face and asked my mother if she wanted some too. Shelookedat me in disbelief.

“Sugar? For breakfast?! You know, when you get older you’re going to get stomachaches if you keep eating likethat.”

I thought,“Oh, really?Then I should get my fill of Oreo breakfasts before I grow up!”

So, mom, I’m older. I’m twenty-four now and guess what? I’m still waiting for that day to come… the day my mother warned me about where I can’t eat anything and everything tooth-achingly sweet for breakfast. I could eat frosting out of a tub for breakfast. My body can tolerate an insane amount of sweetness at any hour of day.

Dessert for breakfast?
Dessert for lunch?
Dessert at 3am?

NO PROBLEM.

I can and willeat cookies, brownies, cake with frosting, etc. as my morning meal. The only difference between now and then is that I eat the good kind of sweets. I eat sweets to my heart’s content if they are good for me,like these Healthy Homemade Oreos.

These Healthy Homemade Oreos aren’t unhealthy like thestorebought cookie sandwiches. These are all natural, sugar free, dairy free, gluten free, and whole grain!

Yup, that means no artificial flavorings, no high-fructose corn syrup, and no refined whiteflour!

And BEE TEE DUBZ… these are totallydunkable too. So grab a glass of milk or almond milk or soy milk orcashew milk or whatever milk you like, and dunk dunk dunk, then bite bite bite.

Can you believe it?? Compared to the storebought version, for the SAME AMOUNT OF COOKIES, my healthy homemade version has 40less calories and 15g less carbs withzeroadded sugar. While my version may be lower in calories, which is cool and all, that doesn’t automatically mean it’s healthy. It really comes down to the quality ofingredients. The first two ingredients in the Oreos ingredient list are “enriched” (aka highly refined) flour and white sugar(**rolls eyes**). Then, high fructose corn syrup makes its debut not far after. Ugh, and they’re alsomade with vanillin — a FAKE vanilla flavoring. Tsk tsk tsk *crosses arms*

Let’s skip the yucky stuff and make Oreos at home using wholesome whole grains, natural sweeteners, and healthier, happier ingredients.

These are SO. GOOD.

I wish I ate these as a child rather than the pre-packaged, sugary storebought stuff.

Enjoy!
