Homemade Vegan Oreos (Healthier & Delicious)

In the heart of the bustling city of New York, amidst the towering skyscrapers and the endless sea of people, I found unexpected inspiration for what would become a staple in my collection of vegan treats – Homemade Oreo-Inspired Cookies.

I was wandering through Greenwich Village on an autumn evening, drawn by the aroma of freshly baked cookies. Upon discovering a bakery with classic Oreo cookies, childhood memories surfaced—moments of dunking Oreos in milk. However, as a vegan, those store-bought cookies were no longer part of my diet.

That night, I was inspired to recreate this beloved treat using plant-based ingredients. The experimentation involved swapping conventional components for vegan-friendly alternatives: spelt flour, Dutch cocoa powder, and coconut oil replaced traditional ingredients, while a blend of powdered sugar and coconut butter created the creamy filling.

The initial batch proved successful, earning approval among my friends, both vegan and non-vegan alike. These cookies represent more than just a sweet treat; they were a small celebration of how delicious and varied vegan eating could be.

These homemade cookies are symbols of innovation and compassion, representing the joy of rediscovering childhood favorites through a new, compassionate lens.
