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!
It’s a keeper, for sure!! Awesome 🙂
Oh these look so good! I can’t wait to give them a try and see how my 3 year old and husband like them! Always a fan of a new cookie recipe!!
That’s great to hear 🙂 I hope you all enjoy them!
This look so good! Might have to try the recipe out.
Thanks, I hope you do!
Who said life needs to be boring when you are lactose intolerant? Loving this recipe.
Thank you!!! Totally 🙂
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!
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!
Yay!!! 🙂 Let me know what you think!
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 🙂
I understand that concern, these cookies stay pretty soft even after a few days!
They look delicious – great photos. 😍
Thank you so much!
Thank you for this recipe, these look delicious. Will have to try!! : )
You are welcome 🙂 Let me know what you think!
I am always looking for dairy free options. these sound delish!!

My daughter has now outgrown her egg allergy (not so lucky on nuts) but this is a great way for allergy families to indulge in sweets!
Great!! I hope you all enjoy

Enjoy 🙂
Hi- these look amazing. I would love to make these for my dairy free kids. Do you know if there is a dairy free version of M&M’s out there. My kids would love that!
Thank you 🙂 Yes, I linked a few images that take you to Amazon to purchase. The brands are Unreal and ChocNoNo’s, you can find them in some stores too!
I have a few friends who have to eat only dairy and egg free, will be sure to share this with them. they look so gorgeous!
