If you’ve ever walked past a Crumbl Cookies store, you know the smell could stop traffic. Those giant, gooey cookies look like something straight out of a Pinterest dream. But if you’re vegan, you’ve probably wondered the same thing TikTok and Reddit have been debating for years, are any of them actually vegan?
Short answer: nope. Not yet.
But the longer story? That’s where it gets interesting.
So, Why Aren’t Crumbl Cookies Vegan?
Unfortunately, Crumbl Cookies does not have any vegan cookie options on their menu currently. Milk and eggs are listed as the two main ingredients in all Crumbl cookie options and this makes them not suitable for vegans. This is confirmed on their official website in their nutrition section.

Why Everyone’s Still Waiting for Vegan Crumbl Cookies
Search “Crumbl vegan” on X (Twitter), and you’ll find hundreds of frustrated dessert lovers calling for change.
It’s clear there’s demand, and not just from vegans. Flexitarians and lactose-intolerant fans are growing fast. According to the Good Food Institue, nearly37% of Americans planned to order meals with a mix of meat and plants in 2025, even if they’re not fully vegan.

If you really want to experience the amazingness that is a Crumbl Cookie, but you’re vegan, you do have some options.
You can either:
- Make your own
- Visit their competitor
Vegan Dessert Is a Billion-Dollar Business
That stat matters because brands like Insomnia Cookies and Crave Cookies have already jumped on it. Insomnia now offers vegan chocolate chunk and birthday cake cookies nationwide. Crave has plant-based options in select locations.
The global vegan dessert market is projected to hit $5.6 billion by 2030 (Grand View Research), growing faster than the overall bakery market. So if Crumbl wants to keep its dominance, a plant-based pivot isn’t just ethical, it’s strategic.
Vegan Crumbls Exist — You Just Have to Make Them
Crumbl might not offer vegan cookies yet, but the internet didn’t wait around. On Pinterest and TikTok, creators have been busy perfecting their own versions, chewy, thick, and 100% dairy-free.
Vegan bakers like @marykatesvegancakes have nailed flavors like Cookies & Cream and Pink Sugar using vegan butter, coconut milk, and aquafaba. A quick search for “vegan Crumbl cookies” pulls up thousands of posts and millions of saves.
Turns out, if Crumbl won’t make them, the internet will.

Why Crumbl Hasn’t Done It Yet
From a brand perspective, consistency is everything. Crumbl built its fame on that dramatic “crack” texture, a soft middle, crisp edge, and melt-in-your-mouth butter flavor. Vegan substitutes, while good, don’t quite nail that combo yet at a national scale.
Plus, Crumbl’s model rotates five new cookies every week. Vegan ingredients would require separate prep lines, allergen controls, and testing, a logistical nightmare for a chain built on speed and uniformity.
Still, in an age where even Ben & Jerry’s and Krispy Kreme have gone plant-based, it’s starting to feel inevitable.
What You Can Try Instead
If you’re vegan or dairy-free and still want that Crumbl vibe, try:
- Insomnia Cookies’ Vegan Chocolate Chunk (nationwide)
- Crave Cookies’ vegan menu (select cities)
- Or go homemade: TikTok’s top-rated “Vegan Crumbl Copycat” recipes are ridiculously close in texture and taste, and cheaper than $5 per cookie.
Final Thoughts
Right now, Crumbl is still a no-go for vegans. But that could change. With the pressure building online and competitors expanding into plant-based desserts, it’s probably not if, it’s when.
Until then, the vegan community will keep remixing, baking, and tweeting their way toward a Crumbl that everyone can enjoy.
Because honestly, if a cookie this hyped can’t evolve with the times, that’s the real crumble.
