When my children were small, we spent a lot of time outside in the summer. There were a lot of kids in our neighborhood and they would all make their way down to our cul-de-sac. The days seemed endless and there was always an adventure to be found. Busy kids become hungry kids, so all of the moms would take turns bring out snacks for the crowd. One of their favorite were oatmeal pies with filling in the center.
As we discovered our family food allergies and began to eat organic food, those oatmeal pies were eliminated from our home.
This recipe brought those oatmeal pies right back into our house and everyone was so very happy to see them again.
My Oatmeal Pies are gluten free, but you can easily substitute organic all-purpose flour in this recipe.

- 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.
- With stand mixer on low, slowly add powdered sugar and blend until well incorporated.
- On medium high, blend until fluffy.
- Scoop out 1-1 1/2 teaspoons of marshmallow frosting and place on the back of one cookie. Smooth until even.
- Cover frosting with another cookie and lightly press together.
If using organic, gluten free all-purpose flour mix that does not contain xanthan gum, add 3/4 teaspoon xanthan gum to your gluten free flour mix.
If you can not find organic marshmallow creme, it is simple to make. In a large microwave safe bowl, microwave 2 cups of organic marshmallows with 1 tablespoon of organic light corn syrup for 30 seconds. Spray a spatula with cooking spray and stir until smooth. Use as directed in the recipe. If you can not use corn syrup, you can substitute honey, maple syrup or simple syrup. If you use honey or maple syrup, the creme will take on a mild flavor.
These will store nicely covered in plastic wrap on the counter for 2-3 days or in the refrigerator for 4-5 days.
This Oatmeal Pie recipe is organic, gluten free and vegetarian.
