Ingredients For Pumpkin Oatmeal Cream Pies

Oatmeal Cookies

• 1-Minute Oats – The 1-minute oats this recipe calls for give them their incredibly chewy texture! Keep in mind that 1-minute oats are different than instant oatmeal and traditional oatmeal, neither of which I would recommend for this recipe.
• Bread Flour
• Pumpkin Pie Spice
• Cornstarch
• Baking Powder
• Salt
• Dark Brown Sugar
• Butter Flavored Vegetable Shortening
• 100% Pumpkin Puree
• Molasses
• Vanilla Paste

Cream Cheese Frosting:

• Cream Cheese
• Salted Butter
• Powdered Sugar
• Heavy Cream
• Vanilla Extract

As you can see, there’s no egg in this recipe, which makes it perfect for those who are looking for eggless cookies without sacrificing consistency or flavor! You can also use just vegetable shortening in the recipe and a vegan frosting if you’re looking for a vegan version!

Filling Variations For Pumpkin Oatmeal Cream Pies

Frosting: Instead of cream cheese frosting, you could try using Cinnamon Frosting or even Salted Caramel Frosting!

Ice Cream:For a delicious variation, you could swap the cream cheese filling out for ice cream instead! Just place a scoop of slightly softened ice cream on one oatmeal cookie and place the second cookie on top.

Use ice cream flavors such as vanilla, salted caramel, chocolate chip, or even pumpkin!

No Filling: The cookies are delicious all on their own, feel free to skip the frosting if you just want deliciously chewy pumpkin oatmeal cookies!

How To Make Pumpkin Oatmeal Cream Pies

1. Whisk the oats, flour, baking powder, cornstarch, salt, and pumpkin spice together in a medium bowl.
2. Cream the dark brown sugar with vegetable shortening until smooth.
3. Mix the pumpkin puree, molasses, and vanilla extract into the brown sugar mixture until light and fluffy.
4. Add the dry ingredients to the pumpkin mixture a little to a time, mixing after each addition.
5. Portion the oatmeal cookie dough out onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Then use the flat bottom of a glass to press the cookies down flat.
6. Bake the pumpkin oatmeal cookies and then remove them from the oven to cool completely on a wire rack.
7. Prepare the cream cheese frosting by first creaming the cream cheese and butter together until smooth.
8. Add in half of the powdered sugar and mix until combined, add in the remaining powdered sugar, heavy cream, and vanilla extract. Beat the frosting on high until it becomes light and fluffy.
9. Pipe the homemade cream cheese frosting onto one of the bottoms of a cookie and then top it with another cookie. Repeat this process for all of the oatmeal cookie sandwiches.

How To Store Pumpkin Oatmeal Cream Pies

Since the creme filling is made with cream cheese these need to be stored in the refrigerator. For best storage, place them in an airtight container with parchment paper separating the layers of pies.

The pies will then last for up to 5 days in the fridge.
