this recipe

Erik and I always joke about how we used to not like coconut at all. Pssst… don’t tell my mom! She’ll have my hide for that. 😉 Growing up, us kids ate all kinds of coconut: coconut cream in traditional Vietnamese desserts, sweetened coconut flakes from the gift boxes given out during Lunar New Year, and that ah-mazing coconut cake from Pepperidge Farm. You know the one I’m talking about.

But I was never a fan of coconut. That is… until I started vegan + paleo + gluten free baking. Turns out coconut is EVERYWHERE. Coconut oil in vegan chocolate chip cookies, coconut sugar in paleo vegan brownies, coconut flour in paleo chocolate almond butter bars.

And you know what occurred to me after I baked and extensively ate all of those things? They all had chocolate in them. Eureka!!! That’s how I came up with the idea for No Bake Chocolate Coconut Bars. Turns out, chocolate + coconut = delicious dessert delight.

And if there’s anything I love more than dessert, it’s cheesy alliterations! Hehe.

So that’s my long-winded way of saying, here’s how I came up with this perfect combo of chocolate + coconut. Welcome to my: Dairy-Free Coconut Flour Cookie Dough Recipe!

You ready to have ALL, er… most, of your questions answered about this ah-mazing, perhaps best vegan cookie dough recipe? Let’s do it!

How to Make thisDairy-Free Coconut Flour Cookie Dough Recipe

This paleo vegan cookie dough recipe is almost astonishingly easy to make–with just two, tops, three steps! Simply add all ingredients except the chocolate chips to a bowl.

Substitution Notes for Healthy Almond Flour Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough

  • Almond flour/Coconut flour: I do not recommend subbing either of these ingredients. If you’re looking for an oat flour substitute, try this healthy vegan cookie dough recipeinstead. They’re made with oat flour, vegan + gluten-free.
  • Maple syrup: sub with your favorite sweetener, with varying results.
  • Coconut oil: the closest sub would be melted vegan/dairy-free butter

How to Store Edible Paleo Vegan Cookie Dough

One of my favorite aspects of this dairy free cookie dough recipe is that is stays soft for days! To store, place in an airtight container. Store at room temperature, in a cool, dark environment. Direct sunlight always spoils food, so avoid it! 😉 Though you might be tempted to store this edible cookie dough in the fridge, don’t! Lol. I did for a test run and it hardened up like no other.

  1. Oh my goodness! I am so glad that I stumbled across this recipe tonight! I will definitely be making it for a gluten free friend coming to town soon. Any ideas how I could substitute cassava flour for the almond flour? Would that even work? I have to avoid nuts at this time and I’m new to using coconut flour, so any advice you have is greatly appreciated! Thanks so much Demeter!

FAQs

How do you bind coconut flour? ›

Since coconut flour doesn't contain gluten proteins that bind and create structure, eggs are usually used to hold the product together without crumbling. Using coconut flour in egg-free baking can be tricky but not impossible! Flax eggs, bananas, and apple sauce can also be used to bind and add structure.

Can I use coconut flour instead of gluten-free flour? ›

Coconut flour is a delicious, nutrient-rich option for those home cooks attempting gluten-free recipes.

What is the ratio of flour to coconut flour? ›

A quick rule of thumb is to swap about 1/4 to 1/3 cup coconut flour for 1 cup of regular flour. Due to its high absorbency, you'll also want to increase the number of eggs. To help you try this unique ingredient, we've rounded up eight of our best coconut flour recipes. These are tried and true!

Can I use coconut flour in place of all-purpose flour? ›

Use a 1:4 ratio when substituting coconut flour with all-purpose flour. This means that for every 1 cup of regular flour, you only use ¼ cup of coconut flour. Following this ratio will help make your low-carb baked goods come out the way you hope.

What is the secret to baking with coconut flour? ›

Quick baking tips
  • Use additional liquid because coconut flour is very absorbent.
  • Use more eggs to give baked goods structure and moisture.
  • Incorporate egg yolks into coconut flour and other dry ingredients, and whip the egg whites separately, and then fold them into the first mixture to make baked goods lighter.

Does coconut flour rise with baking powder? ›

Yes, you do need baking powder when using coconut flour. Coconut flour needs a leavening agent to help it rise.

What is the closest gluten-free flour to all purpose flour? ›

Brown rice flour is about as close to a 1:1 substitute for all-purpose flour as it gets since it provides structure and a “wheat-like” flavor.

Can I use coconut flour instead of Paleo flour? ›

Due to its low moisture content, coconut flour works perfectly for baked Paleo desserts and thickening sauces, gravies, and soups.

Is coconut flour hard to bake with? ›

In fact, my favorite keto chocolate cupcakes are made entirely with coconut flour. But if you don't know how to work with it, coconut flour can be difficult and sometimes very frustrating. It simply doesn't behave like any other flour on the market, and many people make mistakes when working with it.

Should coconut flour be refrigerated? ›

When stored properly, coconut flour will last for up to two years. The best way to store coconut flour is in an airtight container in a cool, dark place, such as the pantry, fridge, or freezer.

How many eggs per cup of coconut flour? ›

It is recommended that for every 1 cup of coconut flour you use, you should add in 6 eggs. Experiment and Learn: It can feel a bit complicated, but it doesn't have to be! We recommend adding small amounts of liquid, or eggs, into your coconut flour mixture and seeing how moist the mixture remains.

How does coconut flour affect cookies? ›

Baking with coconut flour can be challenging and it takes some experimenting to get recipes just right because a little coconut flour goes a long way! But it's oh so worth it because it offers a texture that is a bit softer and more dense than traditional flour and the flavor is awesome.

What is the shelf life of coconut flour? ›

Coconut flour lasts up to 18–24 months if stored in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. Depending on storage conditions, unopened coconut flour can last for up to 12–18 months in the pantry, 6–12 months in the refrigerator, and 12–24 months in the freezer.

Do I need to add xanthan gum to coconut flour? ›

you will need to add xanthan gum to a recipe (usually a teaspoon is enough). These flours have very little way of holding together and will crumble without it. However, if you are baking with almond flour and coconut flour, it's not imperative to add xanthan gum.

Can you use coconut flour as a binder? ›

You can also use coconut flour as binders in things like meatballs and meatloaf. Just keep in mind that you'd still need to increase the amount of liquid in the recipe as you would with baking.

What can I add to coconut flour to make it rise? ›

To give baked goods more rise and structure when using coconut flour, try adding whey protein powder or psyllium husk powder; vinegar and baking soda can also help add more rise. When storing coconut flour, it's best to keep it airtight and freeze it since coconut flour absorbs moisture.

How do you make coconut flour taste better? ›

Just throw in more flavor when baking with coconut flour. If you're making sweet recipes, such as shortbread, chocolate chip coconut flour cookies, coconut flour muffins or pie crust, use extra chocolate, cocoa powder or vanilla extract.
