Gluten Free Oreo™ Red Velvet Cookies
Make these red velvet cookies packed with gluten free chocolate Oreo™ dupes.
Looking for a unique Valentine’s Day cookie? Try these red velvet cookies that are gluten free and have absolutely no added sugar. These aren’t just ooey gooey cookies with red velvet flavor, they are also filled with crushed gluten free sandwich cookies and white chocolate chips. That makes them so sweet without all the sugar. If you’re new to red velvet, this is the perfect introduction to the uniquely decadent flavor. With the addition of our gluten free Dunkies and sugar free white chocolate chips, the red velvet doesn’t overpower the cookie. What you get is a perfectly balanced Valentine’s Day cookie that is bright red like the color of love!
These gluten free cookies are soft and chewy thanks to lupin flour. It helps create a soft cookie texture without having to use any wheat flour. We love this hack for keto bakers who want cookies that are fluffy and moist. We also use buttermilk to achieve the red velvet flavor. While some people think red velvet is just chocolate dyed red, that’s not true! It has a tang to it that you can’t find in regular chocolate. From there, you can use natural red dye to bring forth the beautiful ruby red color of red velvet.
Our favorite part about these cookies are the mix-ins! The sweet vanilla frosting in our chocolate Dunkies balances out the tangy, deep chocolate flavor of red velvet. Our sandwich cookies have a nice crunch to them, so they help break up the soft, cakey cookie. We also couldn’t resist adding our keto white chocolate chips to the mix. These are made with real cocoa butter, so they are melt-in-your-mouth delicious.
How do we make cookies and chocolate without any sugar? We use all natural monk fruit extract in our products. They make sure you can enjoy a sweet treat while still achieving your lifestyle goals.

What is red velvet?
Red velvet is a flavor profile made famous by red velvet cake, usually served with buttercream frosting. It’s made with cocoa and buttermilk, giving it a unique tang that makes it different from typical chocolate cake. Red velvet has become so popular with folks that it's spread to different kinds of desserts, like the cookies in this recipe!
Can you make red velvet cookies gluten free?
Yes, you can make red velvet cookies gluten free! Using a keto friendly flour substitute such as lupin flour or almond flour allows you to make cookies that are celiac friendly. We love using lupin flour in recipes because it helps you achieve a chewy texture that is delicious with chocolate chip cookies.
What is the difference between red velvet and chocolate?
Some people will say that red velvet is just chocolate cake with red dye and that is simply not true! Red velvet is a type of chocolate cake that includes buttermilk, which gives it a vanilla flavor with a hint of tangy sweetness. If you’ve never had real red velvet before, don’t be afraid of the flavor! The buttermilk helps cut through the rich cocoa, making it a fun and balanced flavor profile.
Are Oreo™ cookies sugar free and gluten free?
No, Oreo™ cookies are not sugar free and gluten free. They do have separate options (ie, a gluten free cookie with added sugar), but none that are both free of sugar and gluten. That’s why we made our keto friendly Dunkies! They are sweetened with monk fruit extract instead of sugar or sugar alcohols. They’re also gluten free and great for anyone who can’t have wheat. We also don’t use artificial sweeteners or sugar alcohols, such as sorbitol. We don’t like using those ingredients because they tend to have a bad after taste and can cause tummy issues.
How can I store these cookies?
You can store these gluten free cookies in an airtight container. Keep them in a cool dry place for 3-5 days.
