While we love pie classics like Chocolate Cream Pie or Apple Pie, we have a new-found love for this unique oatmeal pie recipe that is similar to Pecan Pie.
Pecan Pie’s Cousin
If you love Pecan Pie, you definitely need to try this oatmeal pie. It has the same gooey, brown sugar, caramel flavor – but instead of crunchy pecans on top, there’s a layer of chewy oatmeal. We love this pie for so many reasons!
Perfect for parties. Especially for holidays, like Thanksgiving, this pie is another great one to add to the pie round table. Delicious. We love it as is, but love it even more with a scoop of Vanilla Ice Cream or whipped cream. Quick. This recipe is prepped in just 15 minutes!
Ingredients
unbaked pie crust eggs light brown sugar cornstarch cinnamon salt corn syrup butter, melted vanilla extract quick oats – I use quick oats, also called minute oats, for this recipe because they cook up chewy and delicious as the pie bakes. Rolled oats are too big, but can be cut up in a food processor and used in a pinch.
How to Make Oatmeal Pie
Serving suggestions
Of course, I prefer serving this oatmeal pie recipe with a big old scoop of vanilla ice cream on top, but there are other toppings you could try! Oatmeal pie is also called Amish oatmeal pie, and I’ve read that it was made in the South during the Civil War as a substitute for pecan pie.
Homemade Whipped Cream Caramel Sauce (sauce plus vanilla ice cream is especially tasty) Chocolate Fudge Sauce Other flavors of ice cream Chopped nuts: pecans or walnuts would be delicious Mix in some raisins
Storing Info
Make it ahead of time. Oatmeal pie can be baked ahead of time, which is great for the holidays. Cover and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. FREEZE the pie by covering tightly and placing it in a freezer-safe bag for up to 2 months.
