    These gluten-free oatmeal cream pies are a Little Debbie copycat cookie that you are going to love just like you did when you were a kid. Nobody will ever even know they are gluten-free!

    If you guys are like me then finally being able to have gluten-free oatmeal cream pies again is a dream come true! I used to love these cookies so much as a kid and could literally have eaten the whole box if my mom would have let me. Something about the flat, sweet cookie just just stole my heart.

    I’ve seen other recipes around the web for something similar but most of them were made with puffy cookies. I wanted that flat, chewy oatmeal cookie I was used to. These cinnamon scented oatmeal cookies totally hit the spot!

    I asked my husband if they tasted like the real thing and he said they were very, very close and tasted fantastic. For me, that was a huge win! We hope you enjoy them as much as we did.

    And if you need some more delicious cookie recipes, I highly recommend our gluten-free ginger molasses cookies, gluten-free chocolate chip cookies icecream sandwich or these gluten-free thin mints.

    What is the cream made of?

    This cream is so smooth and delicious thanks to a hefty amount of the best ingredient ever, butter. Add some powdered sugar, gluten-free vanilla and just a touch of milk and you have the best cookie cream frosting ever.

    Gluten-Free Oats

    Some people with celiac disease are not able to tolerate oats. The best thing to ensure your oats are truly gluten-free is to buy them certified gluten-free. We like and trust Gluten-Free Prairie oats because they are grown in dedicated gluten-free fields in gorgeous Bid Sky, Montana.

    I love how much Gluten-Free Prairie brand cares about the celiac and gluten-free community. In addition to their certified GF oats, they also offer oat flour, oat groats, sugar cookie mix, pizza crust, chocolate brownie mix, gluten-free granola, Hunger Buster cookie and pancake mix. Get all of their products HERE.

    Their oats are amazing in so many recipes including our chocolate oatmeal cake, gluten-free meatloaf, baked oatmeal bars and gluten-free oatmeal pancakes.

    • Preheat oven to 350°
    • In a stand mixer, cream together butter and brown sugar
    • Add eggs and mix well
    • Add in remaining ingredients and combineGluten-Free Oatmeal Cream Pies step-by-step
    • On a silicone lined or greased baking sheet, please small cookie scoop or tablespoon size balls on the baking sheet 3 inches apart and bake for 10-11 minutes
    Pro Tip: The middle should be a bit undone still and the edges golden brown, be sure not overbake or they won’t be chewy

    What’s the best way to store them

    These cream pies are so soft and chewy that they can be stored at room temperature the first day for everyone to enjoy. However, if you’d like them to stay as soft as possible, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for 4 days.

    Can you freeze them?

    These freeze very well! You can just pull them out 10 minutes before you are ready to enjoy them and bite right in. I also love slightly frozen gluten-free thin mints…mmmm!

      Is there a recommendation on making these also sugar free?

        Hmmm, I am not sure since they are pretty full of sugar. I am sorry I don’t have a better response…

      We have a nut allergy in the family. Can I leave out the almond flour and increase the gluten free flour by the amount of the almond flour?

        You can but the texture might be a bit more puffy than chewy. They should still be great though.

      Hi! I’m excited to make these 🙂 can I just use instant oats if I don’t have this specific type of oatmeal?

      Thanks!
