I’m a sucker for single serving recipes.
…especially when they include two of the best words in the English language: COOKIE. DOUGH.
Needless to say, when I saw this healthier single serving recipe for vegan cookie dough on Pinterest, I knew it was one I had to try.
I made some changes to that recipe because a) I didn’t have coconut oil and b) I wanted to see how it would taste with almond flour. The result was not only delicious, but also gluten free.
adapted from Vegan Cookie Dough For One
ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon real maple syrup
- 1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons almond flour
- pinch of salt
- 1-2 teaspoons dark chocolate chips (make sure non-dairy if strictly vegan)
Just mix the first four ingredients in a small bowl, then add the chocolate chips last. That’s it!
I was planning on using some almond milk to replace the coconut oil, but it actually didn’t need it. The almond flour soaked the maple syrup up for a perfect cookie dough consistency.
I would like to try the original recipe too, which uses regular flour, but I must say I really did love the flavor and heartiness from the almond flour. The only thing I’d say I didn’t like about this recipe is that…it didn’t make enough! Seriously, I might double it next time 😉

Are you a fan of single serving recipes? Do you have a favorite? (I’d love suggestions!)
Um… this looks amazing. Who doesn’t love cookie dough? Must try this!
Are you gluten free?
nope, not strictly (nor vegan…or any specific food “label,” for that matter). But when I can make substitutes that are gluten free without substituting taste, I’ll usually do that because I notice it helps me digest better 🙂
Cool. I’m newly gluten-free so I always enjoy when these kinds of recipes pop up on your blog!
awesome! hopefully I’ll have some more gluten free recipes comin’ your way 😉
love recipes like this!!! can you sub agave for the maple syrup?
if I had to guess I’d say yes! let me know if you try it 🙂
Yay! I’m so glad to hear a gluten free version was equally delicious. I agree it is hardly enough, it is so good!
Love anything cookie dough — always open to trying dif options. Definitely putting this on the list!
I am so excited that I have all these ingredients already. Nighttime treat, I’m on it :)!
Is there anyone out there that doesn’t love cookie dough?
If so, they’re not human.
I’m really intrigued by using almond flour for this recipe. I’ll definitely give it a try! I usually make mine with honey instead of maple syrup (that’s usually what I have on hand) and it’s delicious that way too!
