Gluten-Free Oatmeal Cream Pies
These Gluten-Free Oatmeal Cream Pies are soft, chewy, and naturally sweetened, made with almond flour, old-fashioned oats, honey, and warm cinnamon.
Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1 cup old fashioned oats
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 egg
- ⅓ cup honey
- ¼ cup butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup cream cheese frosting
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, mix together the almond flour, oats, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt until evenly distributed.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the egg, honey, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. The dough will be slightly sticky.
- Use a cookie scoop to form balls of dough. Place them on your prepared baking sheet and gently press each ball to slightly flatten into cookie shapes.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
- Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack to cool completely.
- Once the cookies are fully cooled, spread or pipe a generous layer of cream cheese frosting on the flat side of one cookie. Top with another cookie to form a sandwich. Repeat with the remaining cookies and frosting.

Notes
- Mixing: Combine the wet and dry ingredients just until mixed, over mixing can lead to tougher cookies.
- Baking Time: Keep an eye on the cookies; almond flour tends to brown quickly. Start checking around 10 minutes to ensure they stay light and tender.
- Cooling: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a rack, ensuring they set perfectly.
- Oats Texture: For a smoother cookie, you can pulse the oats in a food processor for a few seconds before mixing them in.
- Frosting Assembly: Make sure your cookies are completely cool before sandwiching them with cream cheese frosting to prevent it from melting.
