The Best Allergy-Friendly M&M Cookies are so soft and chewy, perfect for when you or a loved one needs a treat! Allergy-friendly, so they're perfect for everybody!
Don't let the use of coconut oil fool you, I wouldn't call these healthy cookies. I would like to point out that I am a believer of egg replacers, though! In the past, I solely relied on flax eggs. While I love using flax eggs and there's nothing wrong with them, I simply wanted to try out a new product, Bob's Red Mill Egg Replacer. If you can't find this egg replacer in stores or purchase it from Amazon, then try flax eggs or your favorite substitute.
I loved how the egg replacer worked and can't wait to try it in other recipes! It's just potato starch, tapioca flour, baking soda, and psyllium husk fiber. No grains, soy, gluten, or beans. Depending on if you're replacing an egg white, yolk, or whole egg, you just add varying amounts of water.
Just to keep in real, I know M&M's are not vegan or dairy-free. But like I stated in my previous Monster Cookies post when it comes to M&M’s, you know what you can tolerate and what you can’t! If you’re lactose intolerant, like me, you may tolerate dark and semi-sweet chocolate just fine. If not or if you’re vegan, don’t worry! There are chocolatey candies out there for you!

I'm trying to cut more dairy out of my life, so I think I need to try these cookies (because I still need cookies in my life). Would chia seed work as an egg substitute or do you recommend using a store version?

Oh heck yeah, you need cookies in your life! I have used flax seeds or chia seeds in other cookie recipes and they work well 🙂 I haven't tried them with this recipe so you'll have to let me know how they turn out!

I've never thought of flax as an egg substitute before! Really I only turn to egg-substitutes when I'm partway through a recipe and realize we're out of eggs.....which happens a surprising amount of the time! haha. Looks like a great recipe!!

Hahaha I'm sure you're not alone in that!! Flax eggs are great, but I love Bob's Red Mill too since it's already ground 🙂

I just recently saw egg substitute at my grocery store and was super intrigued to buy them. Next time I will and make these cookies!

Umm I've been dairy free for 20 months (thanks to the latest baby having an issue with dairy / nursing)... totally going to give these a shot!!! Time to get some cookies in my belly! LOl

Amazing!! Enjoy 🙂

Your cookies look fantastic. Sometimes I need to bring something vegan if I have a vegan student or allergies similar to yours, so this recipe is a great resource!
Jenna | The Urben Life
Thank you so much! Totally, I'm sure these would be a hit 🙂

This looks like the cookies I would eat when I was younger! I love how they are dairy and egg free ? can’t wait to try!

Yummmm...my trouble with cookies (apart from the kids eating them all) is leaving them in the oven just a minute too long and they go crunchy. These look perfectly chewy 🙂
Jenna | The Urben Life
I understand that concern, these cookies stay pretty soft even after a few days!
