Vegan Oatmeal Cream Pies

Healthier Oatmeal Cream Pies! Tender, spiced oatmeal cookies with a homemade or easy cheater option for the vanilla cream filling. Vegan and gluten-free!

Vegan Oatmeal Cream Pies

Cookie. Cream. Cookie. Squish. BITE.

After all the love and remakes on these Cosmic Brownies I posted a few weeks back, I thought it’d be fun to recreate another childhood classic but healthier and tastier and not wrapped in plastic.

The cookie took a couple of tries to get right, the first batch was a little too wholesome if you know what I mean. Yes there are still oats and almond butter and other healthy cookie ingredients involved. But also almond flour and molasses for richness, and cinnamon and ginger for some seasonal spice.

Vegan Oatmeal Cream Pies

The cookies by themselves – so good! Tender and moist and just crispy and SO GOOD. You truly don’t need the cream filling, but if you want to recreate the oatmeal cream pie in it’s truest form use either this cashew cream frosting recipe or be lazy (like me!) and use store-bought vegan vanilla frosting. Or even thick coconut yogurt or cream would work too.

Now if you can figure out how to eat them without frosting all over your face/fingers/house, my hat’s off to you!

    This was my favorite childhood sweet treat. I used to walk with my friend to a local convenience store and we’d buy a box and eat them while we played in the yard. Can’t wait to try this version! My husband is allergic to nuts, so the first batch I try will have to be just for me. ;D

    Wow! Natalie, these are sooo excellent! Best Oatmealie type cookies ever! (Didn’t do the filling – not really what i was after!). I’ve made so many oaty cookies but these are brilliant (and have the best chewy texture the nest day too – so many go hard or soft overnight!). Have to admit I added sultanas – I nearly always do to this style of cookie, can’t help myself, I love sultanas! And a few drops of orange oil, which combined with the cinnamon gave a pleasingly ‘festive’ taste and aroma!!
    Thanks for your recipes! 🙂

      I am so so happy you liked them!! I adore the texture too, the perfect balance of chewy with a little crispness on the edges. Mmmm I bet they were amazing with those additions, I will have to try that next batch😋 Thank you for the inspiration and feedback Jane💕

    Made, shared, devoured, and cried a little when the last bite was taken. Omg! These were SOOOOOO amazing!!!!! 😍😍😍 The cookie alone is seriously delicious – perfectly chewy, slightly crispy, and the flavor….I’m a sucker for the molasses + ginger combo so I added a touch more ginger ❤️ Willow has declared that we make these again for our Christmas gathering! But I don’t think I can wait that long to make them again 😂 We totally went the cheat route and used simple mills vanilla frosting….that stuff is just too convenient and dangerous! We shared with neighbors and these almost didn’t make it to see a second day. I’m happy to report that the next day the texture and flavor held up really well (I stored them in the fridge) which was good to know because I’ll probably double the recipe next time 😉 Hope all is well with you, my friend! ❤️

      Ahhhhh YAY!! I am so happy you guys tried these🤗🤗 Oh I totally agree, the cookie doesn’t even need frosting, gingery molasses cookies are my favorite kind too (even better than choc chip imo🤭) Ha Willow has more cookie patience than you! I mean Thanksgiving needs more cookies in it too, way too much pie really😂 We debated all kinds of frosting options, but in the end yup…simple mills is too good and easy. Very much appreciate you feedback my dear, and I want to try freezing them soon too because a double batch does seem like the way to go😉 Much love❤️ xoxo

    Hi Natalie,
    This cookie sounds wonderful! I am wondering though if I could sub it (without the frosting) with an adjustment on the spices for GF Gingerbread cookie dough in your Gingerbread Fig “Newton” cookie recipe? Does it sound like it would work?? Please let me know. Thank you for sharing such yummy & healthy recipes with us!!! <3

    Reply
    • Natalie says

      December 8, 2019 at 7:44 pm

      Oh I love that idea, sounds delicious. This dough is a little bit more moist/sticky than the fig newton recipe so you may have to chill it first to make it easier to work with. But yes add more cinnamon and ginger and maybe some cloves, it would be delicious!

        5 stars for responding so quickly! Thank you, Natalie, for your suggestions & advice!! I plan to add ginger & homemade gingerbread spice (made with cinnamon, ground cloves, allspice, anise, more ginger, nutmeg, coriander, & even ground cardamom, too.) Merry Christmas!!!

    Hi! I LOVED these ! Made them with the homemade cashew frosting you posted, w a touch more lemon and maple syrup for tangy sweetness. I want to make them again tonight – do you think half of the cookie dough balls can be frozen and baked next week? Or how long is the cookie dough good for ?

      Oh that sounds perfect with the cashew frosting, I am so happy you liked them😋 I’ve never tried freezing the dough, but yes I think that will work! You could also bake the cookies and freeze them already baked, just defrost and add frosting!

      They will be drier and not spread as well, but you can try it! I have other oatmeal cookie recipes with oat flour too like these: https://www.feastingonfruit.com/chocolate-chunk-oatmeal-cookies/

    Sooo good!! Deliciously chewy and perfectly spiced. I made them for a birthday party and they were the star of the show. I highly recommend eating with the frosting filling! Somehow it balances the sweetness of the molasses in the cookies scrumptiously and it looks very pretty.

    Is there any substitute you’d recommend for the oats? I know they’re oatmeal cream pies but I recently learned oats have been making me sick and I’d love to try this recipe! Maybe flax? Or all purpose flour?

    Reply
    • Natalie says

      August 10, 2020 at 9:48 pm

      All purpose flour would most likely work, I’d recommend a bit less (1/3 cup). Or I have this oat free “oatmeal” cookie you could use instead: https://nataliejo.co/paleo-oatmeal-cookies/

    These were so delicious! The perfect consistency and flavor that really mimicked the ones I remember from childhood. Only problem is it’s hard to stop eating them! Ha. Also, thanks for turning me on to the Simple Mills frosting. So good, great consistency and not overly sweet. Can’t wait to make these again.

Some recipes are worth splurging on dairy-free whi Some recipes are worth splurging on dairy-free white chocolate and this is DEFINITELY one of them🤎🤍 That decadent chocolate + peanut butter + coconut middle 1000% deserves the creamy coating and sprinkle finish, trust me💗 Recipe below…

Vegan White Chocolate Valentine’s Truffles

-Pinch of salt

Set aside the remaining white chocolate. Melt the dark chocolate chips. In a food processor combine the Dark Cacao Coconut Cookies, almond/peanut butter, melted chocolate, salt, and vanilla. Process until smooth, it should be the consistency of a thick brownie batter. Place about 2 tsps of the chocolate mixture into each heart and press to flatten. Cover with remaining melted white chocolate. Chill until chocolate is set. Carefully remove from the molds. Optionally drizzle with more dark chocolate and top with sprinkles. Enjoy!

Its #nationalmedjooldateday 🥳🥳 I have wayyyy Its #nationalmedjooldateday 🥳🥳 I have wayyyyyy too many medjool recipes on the blog to mention, so I picked this friday-easy, highly-fudgy, personal fave: No-Bake Vegan Chocolate Cream Pie!

Four ingredient chocolate crumb crust. Three ingredient date-sweetened cream filling. Its truly TOO simple and TOO good❤️

Crust
-2 cups almonds (or nuts of choice)
-1/2 cup cocoa powder
-1/2 tsp salt
-1/4 cup coconut oil
Filling
-12oz unsweetened chocolate, melted
-3 cups non-dairy milk 
-1 cup (10-12) pitted medjool dates (@ndmedjooldates are my favorite!)

Blend almonds, cocoa powder, and salt. Add the coconut oil. Blend until the texture is moist and crumbly. Press into the bottom of a pie pan and up the sides.

Blend the milk and dates on high until very smooth. Add melted chocolate and blend until combined. Pour into the crust and smooth the top. Refrigerate (creamier more like a pudding/mud pie) or freeze (firmer texture) overnight, or for at least 8 hours. Slice and enjoy!

Is it even christmas time without a gingerbread cu Is it even christmas time without a gingerbread cutout cookie + sprinkles moment??🎄

This is my fave vegan and paleo recipe—super moist and tender with almond flour, heavy on the molasses, with a pop of lemon, and they’re oil-free!

Ingredients
-1/2 cup coconut sugar
-1/4 cup almond butter (or any nut/seed butter)
-1/4 cup molasses
-1 tbsp lemon juice
-2 tsps ginger
-1 tsp cinnamon
-1/4 tsp cloves
-1/2 tsp baking soda
-1 tsp vanilla extract
-2 cups almond flour (oat flour option linked in my bio!)

Whisk coconut sugar, almond butter, molasses, and lemon juice until combined. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix/knead to form a ball of dough. Roll out the dough to 1/4 inch thickness between two pieces of wax paper. Chill dough flat for 30 minutes. Cutout cookies with a cookie cutter, then use a spatula to carefully transfer to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 10 minutes at 350F or until golden around the edges. You can re-roll/cut the excess dough. Cool completely. Decorate (I used melted coconut butter + matcha for the “glaze”) and enjoy!
