Gluten free Vegan Oatmeal Cream Pies

February 26, 2014 by Cara

Today I’m visiting an incredible blogger friend Sarah of Sarah Bakes Gluten-Free and I really wanted to make her an ultra-special treat. What better way to spread baking cheer than with homemade gluten free vegan Oatmeal Cream Pies? I knew that you would agree.

I’m surprised it has taken me this long to recreate Oatmeal Cream Pies. Probably because they weren’t really my thing as kid (which is surprising because you could have put frosting and sprinkles on a stale piece of bread and I would have eaten it). I was a sucker for all-things processed and I won’t lie, I still battle a war with my deep need for potato chips. Let’s put it in simpler terms: There really is no battle–I just eat them often.

Making the cookies was a simple task. Most baked goods follow its own ingredient guidelines so the oatmeal cookies for me were easy. The cream filling part however had a bit of a trick to them. First off, I had to remember what the filling used to taste like (I have a very bad memory). I tried doing a shortening and powdered sugar filling like you would find in homemade Oreos but that didn’t sit right.  So I started to look around to see what others had done which I found a common denominator: Marshmallow Fluff. I’m not about to buy a tub of vegan marshmallow crème to only have the remainder sit unused so that option was out. But I did have a plan B.

Marshmallows. Melted, sticky, gooey: the perfect adhesive to these gluten free vegan Oatmeal Cream Pies!

Scale

Wet Ingredients:

  • 1/4 c. non-hydrogenated shortening

Gluten free vegan Oatmeal Cream Pies recipe notes:

  1. Please note that these cookies have a crunchier bite. If you want a softer cookie, use shortening in place of the vegan butter.
  2. Have any questions about flour substitutions? Glad you asked, I wrote a instructional post on Guide to Gluten-Free Flours just for you and all your gluten free flour questions.

    About how long of a shelf life would you give these cookies…. if I put these together on Friday for a Saturday pm party, would the filling keep it’s consistency?

    Hello, my son cannot tolerate flax. Do you think the EnerG egg replacer would work? Thank you in advance

      I have always had great experience using EnerG so I think it should be just fine 🙂
