Gluten Free Oatmeal Cream Pies

Gluten Free Oatmeal Cream Pies are a homemade gluten free version of a favorite treat!

Do you miss those famous store bought oatmeal cream pies? I do!

Overall I am a chocolate person. I love chocolate. But there are a few desserts, like the famous oatmeal cream pies, that I have missed since going gluten free

Over the last few years I have been working on getting a homemade gluten free version just right. It has taken quite a few tries, but I finally developed a version that my family loves!

I was determined to get this recipe right for a new ebook project I am working on. I was going to save it for the ebook, but after tasting them last weekend when I made them, I knew I had to share them with you now. I couldn’t wait to share the recipe.

My gluten eating husband declared these better than the real thing. He loved them! I loved them too. I will admit though that they are not 100% the same.

Don’t get me wrong, they are delicious. I agree with my husband that they are really really good, but like many gluten free things the texture is not quite the same. Good. But not 100% the same. I just want to add that little disclaimer. 🙂

But if you  loved the real ones please make these. Please. I think you will love them! They are really that good.

I did make them large for the pictures. I wanted them as close to the real thing as I could get. However, they are large. It is a lot of cookie to eat. Actually it is two really large cookies and some frosting that you end up eating. Good, but a lot. In the future I will make them a little smaller and more normal sized.

Now go make yourself some homemade gluten free oatmeal pies!
