I love me a sandwich cookie. How about you? There is just something so fun about eating not one cookie but two and then on top of that getting to enjoy a creamy-filling between them.
Plus, aren’t sandwich cookies the best kinda cookies to stack?
These gluten-free and dairy-free Oatmeal Creme Pie cookies are reminiscent of those good ‘ol Little Debbies but with more of a crispy cookie although still nice and sweet. And the creme is not too sweet but just the right addition of sugary goodness. I made the creme out of coconut oil instead of the usual crisco-type product and man, was that a good change! My husband loved these and couldn’t get enough. Which is saying a lot as he grew up being quite the Little Debbie connoisseur 🙂

Just a little peek at the Gluten-free all purpose baking flour and xanthan gum I use in my kitchen.
Here are the gluten-free oats I use too.
For this recipe, you will also need vegetable oil, brown sugar, white sugar, 2 eggs, vanilla and a non-dairy butter substitute (we really like the Earth Balance brand!)
You will also use baking soda, baking powder, and some salt.
Mix all the ingredients together in the bowl of an electric mixer and drop by the teaspoonfuls onto greased cookie sheet. These cookies spread and get thin so don’t try to make them too big!
Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes…see how thin and crispy they get!?
To make the creme for the Oatmeal Creme Pies you will need…
Coconut oil, marshmallow fluff and salt.
Plus some powdered sugar.
Just a side note on mixing the ingredients! You want you coconut oil to be soft NOT liquid! If your kitchen is warm and you find your coconut oil has turned to a liquid just be sure to add less of it or add more powdered sugar so that you get a nice creamy filling. You may need to play with these ingredients a bit as the coconut oil can be tricky depending on what state it is in!
Once you get the filling to your desired consistency, spread between to oatmeal cookies and enjoy those delicious oatmeal creme pies you just made!
XOXO,
These look amazing!! I can’t wait to try them! Does your family have gluten sensitivities?! I’m going to be going gluten free because I have sensitivities to it. I love oatmeal creme pies!! Well oatmeal anything is yummy! Thanks for the recipe!
Hi Karin! No one in our family has gluten sensitivities but my husband is really trying to watch his gluten and dairy intake so I have been having fun delving into the world of GF and DF baking! I hope you love these as much as we do!!!
Thank you for these! I used to buy the Debbie’s until I had to go GF. Can’t wait to try them. They sound delicious! My 7yr old thanks you too.
Side note: Man, I miss Trader Joe’s! 😉
Oh I hope you both love these!! And I hear ya about TJ’s!! If we didn’t have one nearby I don’t know what I would do!!
Yummy! These look delicious! I don’t even have a problem with gluten and I think I shall try these. They’d make a great treat to take in to my daughter’s preschool since several of her classmates DO have gluten sensitivities or dairy allergies. Thanks! ~robin
Oh, you are so sweet to think of all the GF sensitive kiddos in your daughter’s class! I bet they will appreciate that a lot!
YUMMYYYYY
WOW, Looks heavenly GOOOOOOOOOOD 😀
Thanks! Enjoy!!!
Oh, My, Word…YUM! Seriously, I am reading this at 8:25pm right when I need a sweet snack…I gotta make these!!! A question for you Maggie..just wondering, how do you keep yourself so nice and slim with all the yummies you always make???
LOL Nadia! You are too sweet!
Oh! Another question, would these be the same if I tried to use just the regular butter and flour and oats?
Yes, they should be! Using regular butter may make them a bit crisper of a cookie but overall the results should be close to the same!!!
Oh these look so delicious!! I am new to your blog and am so glad that I found it. I have been having such a good time reading over your posts. Congratulations on your new baby boy. What a blessing! You have such a sweet looking family.
Thank you Alicia! We are enjoying having him here, he is such a good little baby!!!
There isn’t such a thing as gluten free oatmeal since oatmeal has it’s own gluten. That said, some people with celiac disease choose to leave it out just to be safe. The recipe looks yummy but I’ve excluded all oatmeal from my vegan diet. Thanks for posting though. The purpose of my comment is simply to educate.
This looks great! But the caption is misleading. It is not dairy free if it has eggs in the recipe.
Even though you will find eggs in the dairy section of the grocery they are not a dairy product.
Two of my sisters have to be GF. So nice to see recipes that they can eat!
Good work on these recipes… I’ll be following and trying them out. :))
Hi Maggie, thanks for the recipe I’m excited to make these for my lil dairy free guy but I was wondering if steel cut oats would work or if you really need rolled oats? Thanks again!
Steel cut oats would not work in this recipe!
Hey there, I’m having a hard time finding xanthum gum any ideas where I can get it? Or an alternative?
Try a health food store or the health food aisle at your local grocery store that is where I found mine…otherwise you may be able to order it online as well!
Anything I can use to replace the coconut??
