Ingredients in this copycat oatmeal pie recipe

This recipe uses two sets of ingredients: those in the oatmeal “cookies,” and those in the filling. Each one brings together flavorful ingredients that all contribute to making these oatmeal pies so delicious!

Cookies

• Butter: First up for the cookie base is 1/2 cup of softened butter. Go with salted over unsalted butter.
• Coconut sugar: Then, kick up the sweet flavor with 1 1/4 cup of coconut sugar. You can substitute with white granulated sugar if preferred. Avoid going with light or dark brown sugar as a substitute, as this will change the texture of the cookies.
• Egg: Help the ingredients bind together properly with 1 large egg.
• Molasses: Next, 2 tbsp of molasses help give the cookies that signature oatmeal cream pie flavor.
• Vanilla: Throw in 1 tsp of vanilla extract for good measure.
• Flour: Next is the flour! Use 1 1/3 cups of all purpose flour.
• Quick oats: Next, use 1.5 cups of quick rolled oats to thicken up the cookies and create the correct batter texture.
• Baking soda: 1/2 tsp of baking soda help the cookies bake properly.
• Baking powder: Follow the baking soda with 1/2 tsp of baking powder.
• Cinnamon: Add a bit of extra flavor by including 1/2 tsp of cinnamon.
• Salt: Last but not least, finish off the batter with 1/4 tsp of salt.

Filling

• Butter: 1/2 cup of softened butter creates the base of the filling.
• Marshmallow fluff: Follow the butter with 1 cup of marshmallow fluff. This is one of the best parts of the recipe!
• Powdered sugar: Finally, the filling is complete with 2/3 cup of powdered sugar.
