The iconic Oreo sandwich cookie is a longtime vegan treat, and it now comes in a variety of other delicious dairy-free flavors, too. From extra creme to seasonal favorites to the hottest flavor trends, there’s an Oreo for every mood.
Are Oreos Vegan?
Oreos have been a dairy-free and vegan treat since they first launched. Despite the creamy center filling, the cookie contains no milk. With the exception of a few flavors that contain some animal ingredients like honey, most Oreos are vegan. (Hooray!) There is a risk of cross-contamination from equipment, however. So for people with dairy allergies, Oreos may not be the safest treat.
How to Make Vegan Oreo Ice Cream
The Oreo cookie has been reinvented into many desserts, perhaps most notably the Cookies ‘n’ Cream flavor ice cream that usually includes an iteration of, or actual Oreos, mixed with vanilla ice cream.
This recipe by Chocolate Covered Katie will guide you through how to make vegan oreo ice cream using just five ingredients. If you enjoy (or used to enjoy) McDonald’s signature McFlurries, this recipe by The Spruce Eats will help you satisfy your cravings with vegan Oreo flurries instead.

Start at the beginning: the original Oreo sandwich cremes are staple snacking for good reason. Chocolate and vanilla go together like, well, chocolate and vanilla. Line up your favorite vegan milk flavors and let the dunking begin.
The Double Stuf
Did Double Stuf validate your own efforts to twist and smoosh two regular Oreo cookies together for the extra creme? Life is all about the Stuf, right? So just go on and do you, Double style.
The Most Stuf
The Office star Mindy Kaling put all the Oreos to the test and hailed the Most Stuf, “it’s like cream with a hint of cookie, which is exactly how I like my cookies…truly decadent.”

Java Chip
Your fave frappé meets “Milk’s Favorite Cookie.” These cookies feature coffee-flavored creme speckled with teeny tiny chocolate chips.
Carrot Cake
There are no actual carrots in the Carrot Cake Oreos, but that shouldn’t stop you from eating them.
Lemon
If you’re not on team lemon yet, let Oreo help you. Nothing says refreshing like equally tart and equally sweet crispy, soft Lemon Oreos. It’s like lemonade without the hassle of drinking.
Golden
Vanilla isn’t always boring. And when it’s vanilla-flavored Golden Oreo cookies on more vanilla Oreo creme? It’s definitely extra. Your future favorites also come in a Double Stuf Oreo variety as well. Because the only thing better than vanilla is extra.
Golden Double Stuf
Creme fiends no longer have to twist open two Golden Oreos and sandwich them together.
Chocolate Peanut Butter
Oreos with a deliciously nutty twist and the ultimate treat for lovers of chocolate and peanut butter.
Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie
A step up from Chocolate Peanut Butter. Nothing beats a slice of chocolatey-peanutty piece of pie, but honestly, who has the time? Forks and knives and plates? No thanks. We need our favorite flavor combo to be mobile, thank you very much.
Cinnamon Bun
Eating an entire cinnamon bun is hard work. Manage your cinnamon flavor fix with Oreo-sized distribution from these creamy, slightly spicy, perfectly dunkable Cinnamon Bun Oreos and leave the sticky buns for the kids.

Thins Mint
While the regular Oreo Mint flavor contains honey, the Thins version is honey-free. And with a blast of peppermint oil, they’re as cool as they are delicious.
Birthday Cake
Birthday cake flavor is popping up all over the place – from ice cream to Easter peeps, the cloyingly sweet flavor of youth is also popping up in Oreos. If you’re the first one to grab a slice at the kiddo bashes, then this is for you. But Delish reviewers weren’t so keen on it: “Nope. This tastes like a birthday cake vomiting.”
Caramel Coconut
These sweet and nutty Oreos are proof that caramel and coconut belong together like cookies and cream.
Chocolate Marshmallow
Inspired by s’mores, these summery Oreos contain marshmallow pieces that are totally vegan.
Chocolate Hazelnut
These dunkable cookies are filled with a chocolate hazelnut creme that tastes oh-so-much like Nutella, but without the dairy.
