Homemade Oatmeal Cream Pies (2024)

FAQs

What is oatmeal cream pie filling made of? ›

The sweet and creamy flavors that you get from a Little Debbie Oatmeal Cream Pie comes from the marshmallow cream and vanilla extract. We of course add in butter and confectioner's sugar to the other two ingredients but the bulk of the flavor is coming from the marshmallow kick and vanilla.

The oatmeal creme pie was created by Oather "O.D." McKee in 1935 during the middle of the Great Depression. At the time, McKee was working at Jack's Cookies, a local bakery in Chattanooga, Tennessee that made oatmeal, raisin, and vanilla cookies which sold for one cent each.

In this recipe it's a simple buttercream made of butter, powdered sugar, cream, and vanilla. How long do oatmeal cream pies last? These oatmeal cream pies last for up to 1 week in the refrigerator and 2 months in the freezer.

Very often flour or cornstarch is used, but in certain instances tapioca, arrowroot and potato starch can also help achieve the desired consistency. Tapioca starch is preferable for products that will be frozen because it will not break down when thawed.

While the Oatmeal Creme Pie was the original Little Debbie snack cake, there were 14 different varieties by 1964 including the ever-popular Nutty Buddy® Wafer Bars and Swiss Cake Roll.

In 1960, McKee Baking Company pioneered the “family pack,” a family sized carton of 12 or more cellophane wrapped cakes. Individually sold, 12 cakes would sell for a total of 60¢. The price of the new 12-count family pack carton was 49¢.

The surprise components I wouldn't have been able to call out without reading the label are raisin paste, chocolate, and cocoa. It's my guess that these ingredients are what give Little Debbie's Oatmeal Creme Pies that certain je ne sais quoi in terms of their taste.

Homemade Oatmeal Creme Pies are a dairy free, healthier upgrade to the classic snack cake. Made with coconut sugar, whole grains, and heart-healthy walnuts, they'll become a snack time favorite.

Do you refrigerate cream pies? ›
