A delicious, creamy & rich mint moringa filling between two crunchy chocolate cookies. 


Mint Moringa Oreos (Vegan & Gluten-free)

I have made a raw version of Oreos in the past, but today I’m showing you how to make baked Oreo cookies filled with a refreshing mint and moringa filling. They’re gluten-free and completely plant-based. 

Mint and chocolate is such a delicious combination. In fact, my favourite chocolate flavour is mint dark chocolate. I usually have a square or two after dinner if I don’t have any homemade treats lying around. Yes, I don’t always have an abundance of homemade treats in my house at all times ? Shocker, right?

Even the hubby enjoyed these mint moringa Oreos and he’s not at all a fan of mint chocolate. He says to him it tastes like toothpaste…what?!? I find it so refreshing and palate cleansing, again especially after a meal.

This is my second recipe collaborating with FERA Moringa. I was challenged to use moringa in a more creative way. Most moringa fans would usually add it to their morning smoothie, juice or porridge/oatmeal bowl, which is completely fine, but I wanted to find more exciting way to use this amazing ingredient. 

Moringa is derived from the moringa leaf, which is one of the most nutrient-dense plants on the planet packed with minerals, essential amino acids, antioxidants, phytonutrients and anti-inflammatory compounds. Incorporating it into recipes like this is a really easy way to top up on nutrients making sure you’re getting sufficient amounts in your diet.
