These vegan blueberry cookies are sweet, thick, and chewy with crispy edges. They’re easy to make and delicious. Give them a try if you’re looking for plant-based cookie recipes, like these vegan pecan cookies, which are another yummy option.
Ingredients and Substitutions
Fresh blueberries work best in this recipe. You could use frozen blueberries if necessary, in which case add a little extra flour if the dough seems too wet.
I sweetened these cookies with coconut sugar. I like using coconut sugar in baked goods because it may have a lower glycemic index than regular white table sugar.
This recipe calls for coconut oil. You can substitute any type of unsweetened nut butter or seed butter.
I used whole wheat flour in these plant-based blueberry cookies. You can substitute all purpose flour if you prefer.
How to Make Vegan Blueberry Cookies
Start by preheating the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Next you’ll add the whole wheat flour and baking powder to a large mixing bowl, then mix well.
Add the fresh blueberries, coconut sugar, coconut oil, pure vanilla extract, and salt to a blender or food processor.
Blend until smooth.
Transfer the blended blueberry mixture to the mixing bowl with the flour and baking powder, then mix until a sticky dough is formed and the ingredients are thoroughly combined.
Scoop out one heaping tablespoon of cookie dough, then use a second spoon to drop the dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Repeat with the rest of the dough (you should end up with 12 cookies).
Bake at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 16 minutes. Be sure to allow the cookies to cool to room temperature before removing from the baking sheet and serving.
Optional Additions
To add an extra layer of flavor to these cookies, stir half a cup of vegan white chocolate chips into the cookie dough. Or you could also add one teaspoon of fresh lemon zest to the cookie dough.
