During college, I decided to go on a vegan diet for a couple of months, just as a way to challenge myself to try cooking and baking new foods. In preparation, I purchased a vegan cookbook, researched lots of recipes and tips online, and stopped by a health-oriented grocery store in town to buy lots of plant-based products for my pantry and fridge.
Within a week, I realized… It wasn’t nearly as hard as I thought! I figured out a delicious way to cook tofu, learned I loved seitan (aka “wheat meat!”), and quickly became really comfortable converting my previous favorite baking recipes to be entirely vegan with simple non-dairy swaps for butter, milk, and yogurt.
Surprisingly enough, even the eggs in my old baking recipes weren’t too hard to substitute! Sometimes, I got away with simply using a few tablespoons of milk instead, and other times, I used a shelf-stable flavorless powder called Ener-G, one of the best vegan egg alternatives I’ve ever found.
Although my vegan diet didn’t last too long (we went on a family vacation to France that summer, and I didn’t want to miss out on all of their gourmet pastries, cheeses, or quiches!), it came in really handy just a year or two later…
When my brother developed an egg allergy. We were both so grateful that I already had experience with baking eggless treats so I could easily whip up sweets that he could enjoy too!
So over the years, I’ve worked hard to come up with lots of delicious and healthy egg-free baking recipes… Especially cookies. I call them the universal love language of baking. Everybody loves cookies, right?? Whether they’re soft and chewy, crisp and crunchy, drop-style, cut-outs, sandwiched, dipped, frosted, decorated, or anything else… I’m willing to bet every single person has at least one type of cookie that they love!
And today, I’m sharing some of my favorites in this list of Easy & Healthy Eggless Cookie Recipes! They all taste delicious, and nobody can ever tell any of these cookie recipes are egg-free. Literally. People’s eyes always widen in shock whenever I tell them after they’ve taken a few bites!
Even better? These healthy eggless cookie recipes are easy to make, contain no refined flour or sugar (many are dairy-free and secretly vegan too!), and are all under 120 calories. Lots of them are actually 100 calories or less!
