What You Need to Make Paleo Oatmeal Creme Pies
Oatmeal Cookies:
- ground flaxseed + water (for the flax “egg”)
- blanched almond flour
- tapioca flour
- baking soda
- fine sea salt
- cinnamon
- smooth almond butter
- coconut oil (use refined to avoid coconut flavor)
- coconut sugar
- molasses
- pure vanilla extract
Filling:
- dairy free cream cheese like Kite Hill, or regular, if dairy is okay
- unsalted plant based butter, or grass fed butter, if dairy is okay
- organic powdered sugar, or powdered monk fruit sweetener
- pure vanilla extract
How to Make These “Oatmeal” Creme Pies
Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
To make the flaxseed egg, combine the flaxseed meal with water in a small bowl and set aside for 10-15 minutes.
In a large bowl, combine the almond flour, tapioca, baking soda, sea salt and cinnamon. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, use an electric hand mixer to blend together the almond butter and coconut oil, then add the coconut sugar, molasses and vanilla. Finally, blend in the flaxseed egg until smooth.
Stir the dry mixture into the wet until a cookie dough forms. With a medium cookie scoop, scoop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet about 2” apart.
You’ll need to bake in 2 batches. Make sure you have an even number of cookies so you can make sandwich cookies. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes.
While the cookies cool, make the filling.
In a large bowl with an electric hand mixer, cream together the cream cheese and butter until creamy, then blend in the powdered sugar or monk fruit.
Beat in the vanilla and mix until very creamy.
Chill the frosting in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes or longer if you want a firmer texture. This frosting will remain soft if it’s not chilled.
Spoon the frosting onto half of the cookies, on the flat side, then top with another cookie, flat side down.
Storing Oatmeal Creme Pies
Enjoy right away, or store in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
Store leftover cookies in a sealed container, or tightly wrapped in the refrigerator.
A tip if for using real eggs: one egg-yolk will give you a similar result to the flax egg!
I hope you’re ready for these delicious sandwich cookies that you won’t believe are grain free and paleo!
Grab your mixing bowls and ingredients because it’s time to bake – let’s go!
