Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
  • In a bowl, whisk together gluten-free flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
  • In another mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
  • Gradually add in the dry flour mixture into the wet mixture. Fold in the rolled oats gently until everything is combined.

Baking

  • Using a tablespoon, drop dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, making sure to space them adequately as they will spread during baking.
  • Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are golden.
  • Once baked, remove them from the oven and let them cool on the sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Cream Filling

  • In a medium mixing bowl, beat together the powdered sugar, softened butter, and vanilla extract.
  • Add milk gradually until you reach your desired consistency.

Assembly

  • Once the cookies are completely cooled, spread a generous amount of the cream filling onto the flat side of one cookie and top it with another cookie, pressing gently to form a sandwich.
  • Repeat until all cookies are filled.

Notes

Store your gluten-free oatmeal cream pies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for longer freshness. They can also be frozen; ensure they’re well-wrapped to prevent freezer burn.
