These Homemade Oatmeal Cream Pies are a nostalgic, bakery-style treat with a chewy texture and rich, creamy filling that brings back sweet childhood memories. Each sandwich starts with soft oatmeal cookies made from brown sugar, butter, and hearty oats, baked just until golden around the edges for that perfect chewy bite.
The filling is a fluffy blend of marshmallow fluff, powdered sugar, and vanilla, piped generously between two cookies to create a creamy, dreamy center. Whether you go with a thin or thick layer of filling, these indulgent pies are perfect for dessert, lunchbox treats, or a sweet pick-me-up any time of day.
