If you adore soft oatmeal cookies, this little oatmeal cookie pie is such a comforting treat. It’s warm, buttery, and lightly spiced—like a giant cookie made just for you. Perfect for quick cravings or sharing a sweet moment with someone you love.
Ingredients
For the Mini Oatmeal Cookie Pie
- ½ cup old-fashioned oats
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 2 tbsp white sugar
- ¼ tsp baking soda
- Pinch of salt
- ¼ tsp cinnamon
- 2 tbsp melted butter
- 1 large egg yolk
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp milk
Optional Add-Ins
- 2 tbsp mini chocolate chips (optional)
- 2 tbsp raisins or chopped pecans (optional)
Steps
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and lightly grease a 6-inch pie dish or 1–2 small ramekins.
- Mix the oats, flour, sugars, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon in a small bowl. Don’t worry if it looks rustic—oatmeal desserts always do.
- Stir in the melted butter, egg yolk, vanilla, and milk until everything comes together like a thick cookie dough.
- Fold in any add-ins if you’re using them.
- Press the dough into your dish, smoothing it lightly with the back of a spoon.
- Bake for 14–17 minutes, or until the edges turn golden and the center looks just set.
- Cool for 5 minutes so it firms up into that perfect “cookie pie” texture.
Chef’s Tips
- Don’t overbake. A slightly soft center gives you that chewy cookie feel.
- Use fresh oats. Older oats can taste dry and make the pie crumbly.
- Warm it before serving. Even a quick 10-second reheat brings the flavors back to life.
Variations
- Cinnamon Swirl: Add ½ tsp extra cinnamon and a drizzle of honey before baking.
- Salted Chocolate Chip: Add mini chocolate chips and sprinkle flaky salt on top.
- Apple Oat Pie: Fold in 2 tbsp finely chopped apples for a cozy twist.
