I don't know about you guys, but I used to love oatmeal cream pies as a kid. I would pack them in my lunch in elementary school. They were always a treat, and still are. I will be honest, it has been quite a long time since I have had one. The other day, I grabbed one from the grocery and it brought back delicious memories which inspired me to make a protein-packed, healthier version.
I have also seen they now have a peanut butter cream filled oatmeal cream pie now. So, as I always do, I went the peanut butter route. Only slightly addicted! If you want, you can just make a regular vanilla cream filling instead of the peanut butter filling. You could even make a chocolate filling. There are NO RULES!
Anyway, let's get to the tasty stuff!
Protein Oatmeal Cream Pies
✅ Cookies
-
2 scoops (68g) Macro Supps ONE Protein, vanilla flavor
-
¼ cup + 2 tbsp (48g) peanut flour (PB Fit or PB2)
-
¼ cup (30g) all purpose flour
-
½ cup (40g) quick oats
-
1 tbsp. (8g) sugar free vanilla pudding mix
-
¾ tsp baking powder
-
Pinch salt
-
6 tbsp (92g) egg whites
-
½ cup (120g) unsweetened applesauce
✅ Cream Filling
-
½ cup (113g) plain, nonfat Greek yogurt
-
1 tbsp. (8g) sugar free vanilla pudding mix
-
2 tbsp. (16g) peanut flour (PB Fit or PB2)
-
½ tsp. Vanilla extract
-
2 tbsp. (30mL) unsweetened almond milk
-
Extra stevia / sugar free sweetener to taste
✅ Notes
- For the filling, you can skip the peanut flour to make just a regular vanilla cream filling. If you sub out the peanut flour, add 2 tbsp of vanilla ONE protein to replace it.
✅ Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F. Add all dry ingredients for the cookies to a large bowl (peanut flour, flour, ONE protein, oats, pudding mix, baking powder and salt). Mix. Add egg whites and applesauce. Gently stir until a thick cookie dough forms.
- Line a cookie sheet with a baking mat or parchment paper. Scoop cookie dough into 8 balls on the sheet. Press down to flatten. Bake at 350F for 10-12 minutes.
- While cookies are cooling, mix the cream filling. Add all ingredients to a bowl and whisk together until smooth and creamy.
- Once cookies are cooled, add about 2-3 tbsp of the filling to 4 of the cookies and then top with remaining cookies to make a sandwich out of them. Enjoy!
