Oatmeal Creme Pies

I used to go nuts for the original Little Debbie Oatmeal Creme Pies. I think I went through a box a week while I was breast feeding. It was out of control!

I couldn’t get enough. Then one day I looked at the ingredients and thought about coming up with a version without partially hydrogenated oils or preservatives in the cream.

I finally had the time (and all of the ingredients) to bake up a batch of these goodies.

I happen to like lots of spice so I went extra heavy on the cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg. At least the cinnamon is good for blood sugar and the ginger is an excellent antioxidant. Ha! Anything to make this seem “healthy”!

They turned out fantastic! Mmmm, they’re so dense, chewy, sweet, salty, and taste EVEN better than the stuff in the box.

For the filling, I used a buttercream with a surprise ingredient. See the recipe below…

Homemade Oatmeal Creme Pies

1 c butter
3/4 c brown sugar
1/2 c sugar
2 T molasses
1 tsp vanilla
2 eggs
1 1/2 c flour
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground ginger
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
1 1/2 c quick oats

Optional Substitute: Instead of dry spices, I LOVE to use edible essential oils as often as possible. The flavor just doesn’t compare when it comes to using oils.

***I use oils EVERY.SINGLE.DAY. Learn more about why I need them here.***

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350.

Combine dry ingredients.  Set aside.

Cream butter and sugars. Add eggs one at a time, mixing completely after each addition. Next, add the molasses and vanilla; mix. Add dry ingredients and mix lightly until combined. Fold in oats.

Drop tsp – full rounds onto cookie sheet. Bake 10-12 min and let cool for 5 min before transferring to a cooling rack. Let cookies cool completely before assembling sandwiches.

Sandwich cookies together with creme filling.  Store in individual baggies.

Filling:

1 stick butter
1/2 tsp salt
Up to 3 cups 10x sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground ginger
1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
2 T milk
3 T malted milk powder

Whip butter, salt, and spices. With mixer running, add milk, milk powder, and vanilla. Add enough sugar to create your desired consistency.

    I almost choked on the saliva that started running as I read this. These are AWESOME! Any clue on calories, how they compare?

    I am so glad you had a chance to try these out. I think the butter cream filling sounds better than the one that I tried:-)

    Oh, I need to try these! Oatmeal Creme Pies are such a temptation for me…so much so that I've refused to look at the label because I know it will turn me off! LOL

    Mmmm…I'm a big fan of both yours and Jocelyn's recipes, and these Oatmeal creme pies are no exception. Little Debbie's weren't available in my area during my childhood years, but they definitely evoke sweet memories for my husband. I have a hunch he'd flip for these!!

    Sarah, thank you so much for sharing your talent on "A Little Birdie Told Me…" Tuesday!

    WOW! These are AMAZING!!! I know you mentioned that you added some extra spices to the original recipe, and I think that puts them in a class all by themselves. They are rich, and full of flavor and texture. Worth every calorie! Thank you!

    These are great! Even when you unintentionally add chocolate malted milk to the frosting. Oops!

    These look great and I can't wait to make them! But I have a question (I hope it isn't a stupid one): In the ingredients list for the filling you have "Up to 3 cups 10x sugar" listed. What does the "10x" mean? Thanks!
