Vegan Coconut Flour Snickerdoodles {Grain-Free, Nut-Free}

Straightforward, nourishing, vegan coconut flour snickerdoodles ! These cookies are naturally Paleo, nut-free, grain-free and gluten-free, too.

Egg-Free Coconut Flour Snickerdoodles

I love everything about snickerdoodles, including the name, the cinnamon sugar topping, and especially their old-fashioned, comfort food appeal.

My mother made them often, using the recipe from theFannie Farmer Baking Book; I made the same recipe for many years, too. No matter the occasion or setting I chose to share them, they were gobbled up in short order.

No one should miss out on the goodness of snickerdoodles, so I am elated to share a recipe that almost everyone can savor:Coconut Flour Snickerdoodles (made without eggs!).

I shared a recipe forcoconut flour snickerdoodleshere on Nbirz many moons ago, made with eggs. Making an egg-free version may sound straightforward, and with other flours it can be. But egg-free coconut flour baking? Oy vey. I have made more disastrous experiments than I can count.

But (whoohoo!), I am finally figuring it out (I love logic problems). Much as I love eating the results, the most exciting part is sharing the recipes with all of you.

Nourishing Features of Coconut Flour Snickerdoodles

So, time to share these snickerdoodles (which passed both the husband and child taste tests with enthusiastic thumbs up!). They are:

• Vegan
• Paleo
• Grain-Free
• Gluten-Free
• Nut- and Seed-Free

The dough is very similar to myChocolate Coconut Flour Cookiesfrom last week. Flaxseed meal (combine with water) is used as a binder, and then all of the remaining ingredients are stirred together (no mixers needed) in one bowl.

Ingredients for Vegan Coconut Flour Snickerdoodles

The exact amounts of each ingredient are indicated in the recipe card at the end of the post.Toggle betweenUS Customary(volume) andMetric(weights) for preferred measurement option.

• flaxseed meal
• coconut flour
• tapioca flour
• coconut sugar
• ground cinnamon
• baking powder
• salt
• vegetable oil (I used avocado oil)
• vanilla extract

How to Make the Cookies

Note that the complete instructions are also in the recipe card below.

Mix the 1-Bowl Batter

The mixture will look loose (more like a batter) when first stirred; let it sit for 1 to 3 minutes and it will thicken into what looks like a traditional cookie dough.

Scoop & Sprinkle

The dough is too soft to shape into balls and roll in cinnamon sugar, as you would do with a traditional snickerdoodle recipe. But that makes the cookies all the faster and easier to prepare: simply scoop the dough onto a lined cookie sheet and sprinkle the tops with a combination of coconut sugar and cinnamon.

Bake the Cookies Until Golden Brown

Approximately 14 minutes later, you’ll have a dozen of these golden-brown beauties:

The texture of the cookies is tender and cake-like, with lightly crisped edges. The natural flavor and sweetness of the coconut flour enhances the fragrances of cinnamon and vanilla–a reliable anytime treat you can feel good about!

This recipe isn’t limited to snickerdoodles. Think of all of the satisfying variations you can create by changing the spices and flavorings of the recipe, or adding some tasty stir-in. I am already scheming…

Until then, happy baking, friends, and don’t forget to let me know if you give this recipe a try!

Happy baking!
