Tips for Making Delicious Oatmeal Pies

Are you looking to make the tastiest oatmeal pies ever? I’ve got some tips for you. Here’s what I always make sure to pay attention to. Otherwise, scroll down for the recipe.

Use Old Fashioned Oats

Use old-fashioned oats for a chewier texture. Avoid instant oats; they just won’t give you that classic texture.

Measure Precisely

Flour is one of the main ingredients in this recipe. Measure using the scoop-and-level method, as adding too much flour can result in dry baked goods.

Bring Cold Ingredients to Room Temp

Bring butter to room temperature before mixing. It will incorporate better, resulting in smoother batter and softer cookies.

Avoid Overmixing

Mix the batter just until ingredients are combined, or the dry disappears into the wet. Overmixing can result in tough cookies.

Butter vs. Shortening

Some people swear by using shortening for a more stable filling, but butter gives better flavor. You can even do a 50/50 mix!

Are you ready to make these oatmeal cream pies? Here’s what you’re going to need:

Ingredients

• 3/4 cup unsalted butter at room temperature
• 3/4 cup white sugar
• 3/4 cup brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons molasses
• 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 cups flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups oats, old fashioned

Filling

• 1/2 cup butter
• 3 cups powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 teaspoons milk, as needed

After you have sandwiched the oatmeal cookies with the cream pie filling, store them in an airtight container for up to 5 days. They will taste stale if you keep the oatmeal creme pies on the counter.

You can freeze the cookies on their own or after assembly. If freezing the cookies alone, place them all in a freezer-safe bag or container and freeze them for up to 3 months.

If freezing an assembled oatmeal cookie cream pie, tightly wrap in plastic before transferring to a freezer-safe bag or container and freeze for up to 2 months.
