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

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.

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!
