Description

These Gluten Free Oatmeal Cream Pies feature soft, chewy spiced oatmeal cookies sandwiched around a fluffy marshmallow creme filling. A better-than-store-bought nostalgic treat.


Ingredients

Scale

113 grams unsalted butter (melted and slightly cooled)

200 grams light brown sugar

1 large egg

145 grams Gluten Free Multipurpose Blend

4 grams unsweetened cocoa powder (dutch-processed)

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

¼ teaspoon ground cloves (optional)

½ teaspoon (3 grams) baking soda

½ teaspoon (2 grams) baking powder

¾ teaspoon (3 grams) kosher salt

115 grams gluten-free old fashioned oats

— Filling —

7.5oz Marshmallow Fluff/Creme (1 jar)

200 grams powdered sugar

113 grams unsalted butter, at room temperature

50 grams all vegetable shortening

1 teaspoon vanilla

1 teaspoon milk (dairy free is fine)


Instructions

1. In a medium saucepan, melt 113g butter. Transfer to a mixing bowl and allow to cool for 5-10 minutes.

2. Place gluten-free oats in a food processor and pulse 5-10 times. They should be broken up but not ground into flour.

3. In a small bowl, sift together the gluten-free flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and cloves.

4. Add brown sugar to the cooled melted butter. Whisk on medium speed for 2-3 minutes until light and fluffy.

5. Add the egg and mix until well combined. Scrape down the bowl.

6. Slowly add the sifted flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Fold in the pulsed oats.

7. Transfer batter to a container and refrigerate for at least 30-45 minutes.

8. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

9. Using a medium cookie scoop (1 Tablespoon), portion dough into balls. Arrange 9 balls on the sheet, leaving room for spreading. Keep remaining dough chilled.

10. Bake for 10-11 minutes. Cookies should look slightly underdone.

11. Remove from oven. Use a round cookie cutter to scoot them into perfect circles. Cool on pan for 5-10 minutes before moving to a wire rack.

12. Repeat with remaining dough. Cool completely.

13. For the filling: Beat room temperature butter and shortening until fluffy.

14. Gradually add powdered sugar. Mix until incorporated. Add vanilla and milk and mix for one minute.

15. Add Marshmallow Fluff and mix at medium-high speed for 3 minutes.

16. Pipe or spread filling onto half the cookies. Top with remaining cookies. Refrigerate for 15-20 minutes to set.

Notes

**Cookie Texture:** If you overbake the cookies, they will be hard. Remove them when they still look slightly soft in the center.

**Gluten Free Oats:** Use certified gluten-free oats. If you only have quick oats, skip the pulsing step.

**Yield:** This recipe makes approximately 16-18 single cookies, resulting in 8-9 sandwiched pies (depending on size).
