You know...the Little Debbie's.
The ones that never tasted so good as they did in your Mamaw's kitchen.
What was it about those creme pies?
So good.
That's a
I've always wanted to make some.
So I did.
I used an old recipe written in my Mother's handwriting.
Here's what you need to make Oatmeal Creme Pies.
If you have trouble reading the recipe card...leave me a comment and I will clarify measurements.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Begin by creaming the butter.
Add the egg and vanilla.
Mix the dry ingredients together.
Add the oats in with the dry ingredients.
Stir together.
Gradually add this mixture to mixing bowl.
Mix until combined.
Use a small cookie scoop to scoop dough.
Place the dough balls at least 2 " apart on baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake the cookies @375 for 10 minutes.
Leave on pan to cool (and continue baking) for 2 mins.
Transfer to cooling rack.
Let the cookies COOL completely.
Here's what you need to make the creme filling.
See recipe above for measurements.
Begin by creaming the butter.
Sift the powdered sugar.
Add the powdered sugar to the butter and mix.
Add the vanilla and 2 T. whipping cream.
Mix on medium speed until combined.
Turn the mixer on high and whip the filling for about 2 minutes until fluffy.
Now comes the FUN part!
You know what to do.
Try not to pass~out on the kitchen floor when you take the first bite.
Seriously.
I mean it.
Seriously.
This is one of THE BEST things I have ever~ever~ever tasted.
Take me SERIOUS please! ;)
I resisted and didn't double the filling recipe.
Turns out...I had cookies left over.
No worries.
Double the recipe if you want plenty of filling. ;)
Oatmeal Creme Pies!
I know my Mamaw would LOVE these!
So would Little Debbie!

ReplyDeleteI always loved these cookies. I can't wait to make them. I have a Virtual Cookie Swap & Giveaway going on right now and I know my readers would love this recipe to try for the holidays. I'd love it if you would post the link to this post on my blog at Virtual Cookie Swap. I know everyone would like this recipe as well. Thanks for sharing this from your moms recipe box.
ReplyDeleteMade these today and they are FABULOUS! My family loves even more now, if that's possible! :o) Thank you so much for sharing the recipe. I've bookmarked your blog and will be back to visit often!
ReplyDeleteOhhhh, these look delicious!! I tried making Oatmeal Cream Pies once but the filling wasn't quite right. Looking forward to trying your recipe. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI have to ask, what is the texture like of the cookies? It's hard to tell from the pictures. Are they soft like little debbie, or are they chewier? I would LOVE to try these!!
ReplyDeleteRepinned these on pinterest and i LOVE OCPs. I could take down half a box after school as a kid growing up...after school snack memories!! I could just eat that filling and be veryyyyyyy happy :)
ReplyDeleteI just saw your cookies this morning. I've been craving those Little Debbie oatmeal creme pies. My mom used to buy them for us when I was a kid to put in my lunchbox. We saw them at the store and my kids begged me to get them, but I told them we could make them better at home. I was so happy to see this post!!! They will love these.
ReplyDeleteI submitted this to the Make and Takes spotlight page (www.makeandtakes.com/spotlight). I hope that was okay.
I will be baking these up soon I am so excited
ReplyDeleteHi, just wondering if you used regular or quick oats?
ReplyDeleteThey look so fab, thank you so much for sharing!
Hi just wondering if you used regular or quick oats and also in the recipe are you using teaspoons or tablespoons? it just says 't', so you could see why that would be confusing.
ReplyDeletet is tsp. T is tbsp.
DeleteThank you mommy g~
DeleteYES!
t = teaspoon
T = Tablespoon
ENJOY!
I just looked in my pantry and realized I have all of those things! These are so being made today.
ReplyDeleteCan;t wait to make these, your blog is great!
ReplyDeleteWhat kind of oats do you use with this recipe? I was assuming old fashioned, but couldn't be sure and didn't want to guess since it will definitely change the cookie consistency. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteOld Fashion OATS are used in all my recipes.
DeleteNo instant!
Let me know how they turn out!
YuMMy!
I didn't have anything but instant oats, and couldn't go to the store. BUT I also could not wait to try these cookies!! I used instant. Sorry. They still turned out DELICIOUS. And pretty, too! I rolled mine out in little balls and pressed the tops down and they were perfect little circle cookies when they were done. I think next time I do them, I will cook them less time. My cookies turned out a little crunchier than I like them. But..do you think that stopped me from eating 3 of them today? The answer is No.
ReplyDeletemade this recipe, but disappointed...didn't (in my opinion) resemble a 'little debbie snack', but moreso (what it actually is!) two oatmeal cookies sandwiched together w/ buttercream frosting.
ReplyDeleteI have been making these for a while but I leave out the egg and vanilla. Love the idea of the filling inside though must give that a try next :O) Viv xx
ReplyDeleteOops forgot to add I don't use cinnamon either...must try that idea...and I use golden syrup too as that's makes them nice & chewy :O) Viv xx
ReplyDeleteViv--I hope you see this! What did you sub for the egg? Egg allergy here and I want to give these a try =)
DeleteMade these tonight! Everyone loved them, even asked to take one or two home! Great recipe!
ReplyDeleteI have tried making these types of cookies a few times, and they always taste delicious, but my cookies don't flatten out that much, so to sandwich 2 together you have to have a pretty big mouth to get around that sucker. What is the secret to really flat cookies like that?
ReplyDeleteDo these need to be refrigerated?
ReplyDeleteoh.my.gracious. I made these tonight and my face nearly fell off. Thank you for the recipe!
ReplyDeleteThese seriously look so good! I have the exact same memory of eating these at my great grandmother's house...and they never do seem to taste as good as they did back then! I think I may make these for my hubby soon! He LOVES oatmeal creme pies:)
ReplyDeleteThese look awesome! Making them this afternoon. Does it matter what type of butter? I noticed that recipe just said butter but looks like you used sweet cream and unsalted. Just wondered! Thanks for the recipe!
ReplyDeleteMine didn't spread out like yours either:(. I had to press them down with a spatula as soon as they came out. They are also very crumbly. I used silpat instead of parchment and white whole wheat flour. Maybe that made a difference?
ReplyDeleteMy husband just told me he is never going back to Little Debbie after my attempt at these. Isn't that the cutest? Thanks for this recipe! My first batch flattened beautifully though I didn't have the deep brown color yours achieved. My second batch fluffed up a bit more. Either my oven wasn't finished preheating on the first batch, or the fact that I opened the oven door so many times to check the color, had some effect on them flattening. I'll be checking back on your site for more delicious ideas!
ReplyDeleteJust made theses, and they are SO good. Recipe is excellent! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThese are so good! Just made a batch, and I will definitely be making more. Thanks for sharing! Perfect recipe!
ReplyDeleteany idea how many calories there are in each sandwich? :)
ReplyDeleteany idea how many calories are in each sandwich? :)
ReplyDeleteMade them...loved them! Mine didn't come out as dark brown as yours, did you use dark brown sugar maybe?
ReplyDeleteThese are the best, I keep having people calling asking me to make them.
ReplyDeleteThis recipe is good for those allergic to nuts. Little Debbie's Oatmeal Creme Pies has several different kinds of nuts in the ingredients, not to mention artificial additives and dyes.
ReplyDeleteJust made these for dinner today- Easter Sunday. Oh my glorious! Thank you pinterest for introducing me to this blog. Thank you Teresa for this amazing recipe!
ReplyDeleteJust made these today. Taste great but my first batch of cookies would not flatten so I had flatten the rest before putting them in the oven. The frosting didn't come out either and I double checked all the measurements. Not sure what happened?
ReplyDeleteNo wonder ours didn't turn out right, she didn't say to use unsalted butter. All I did was copy down the recipie and make it not look at the pictures.
ReplyDeletethat shouldn't matter...salted butter and unsalted butter are the same consistency. I've always used salted butter for all of my frostings...weird!
Deletethat shouldn't matter...salted and unsalted butter have the same consistency. I've always used salted butter for frosting, and it always works! I wonder what happened with yours? you may need to make another batch, just to experiment ;)
DeleteJust simply ADORE your blog.... <3
ReplyDeleteMy frosting was great! In fact this is the first time I have successfully made buttercream frosting. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI'm so thrilled to have found this recipe! Is there any thing better than oatmeal cream pies? I love your blog and what a fun personality you have! I'm totally going to "thrive-ify" this recipe on my recipe blog and then
ReplyDeletelink to yours. www.thrivequickdish.com. Thanks girl!

How do you store them if eating the next day. Frosted or unfrosted? Fridge? They are amazing. I used instant oats. I will have to try old fashioned next time m
ReplyDeleteOhh, i think you just made my son a happy camper. He loves Little Debbies oatmeal cream pies but i dont buy them anymore due to the high fructose corn syrup and other not so good for you things in them. I can't wait to make a batch of these and see how he likes them.
ReplyDeleteMy sister and I just made these. Thank you for sharing your mom's recipe (her handwriting is very easy to read :)). I'm for sure a fan of the yummy treats. If I had a child I'd for sure send them to school with these happy treats in their lunch box.
ReplyDeleteThat says 1 1/4 cups butter, right? Just double checking because in the picture it looks like you used less. Thanks!! About to make these now for Easter tomorrow!
