Oatmeal Pies

When my children were small, we lived on a cul-de-sac. Summers were spent outside in that cul-de-sac with all the other neighborhood kids. The days seemed endless and there was always an adventure to be found. Since busy kids turn into very hungry kids, the moms would take turns bringing snacks out and boxes of packaged oatmeal pies were always a huge hit.

As we discovered our family food allergies and sensitivities, those oatmeal pies had to be eliminated from our home.

It is hard when your children just want to be like the other children in the neighborhood. It broke my heart to see their sad faces when they had to have a different snack on the days when the other children were enjoying their commercially produced oatmeal pies.

I was determined to come up with a recipe that would taste even better to my children than those pre-packaged pies.

Make sure that you use certified gluten free oats for your oatmeal cookies. Regular oatmeal can be contaminated when harvested crops are transported in the same trucks as harvested wheat crops.

This recipe brought those pies right back into our house and everyone is so very happy to see them again.

Instructions

Oatmeal Cookies

1. In a stand mixer, cream butter and sugars until light and fluffy.
2. Add egg and mix until well incorporated.
3. Add maple syrup to the stand mixture and mix until well incorporated.
4. In a separate bowl, measure out gluten free flour mix, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg. Whisk until well incorporated.
5. With the stand mixer on low, slowly add flour mixture to bowl and mix on low until well incorporated.
6. Add oatmeal and mix until blended.
7. On a silpat or parchment paper covered baking sheet, scoop out dough in 1 tablespoon measures. The dough will spread, so I only put 6 to a baking sheet.
8. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are slightly under done.
9. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for two minutes then move to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Marshmallow Frosting Filling

1. In a stand mixer or large bowl, combine room temperature butter and marshmallow creme. Mix on low until blended. Mix on medium high for one minute.
2. With stand mixer on low, slowly add powdered sugar and blend until well incorporated.
3. On medium high, blend until fluffy.

Oatmeal Pie Assembly

1. Scoop out 1-1 1/2 teaspoons of marshmallow frosting and place on the back of one cookie. Smooth until even.
2. Cover frosting with another cookie and lightly press together.
