Dry Ingredients
- ¾ cup Rolled Oats (67g)
- ½ cup Vanilla Protein Powder (Whey-Casein, 45g)
- ¼ cup Unflavored Protein Powder (Whey-Casein, 22g)
- ¼ cup Oat Flour (22g)
- 4 Tbsp Peanut Butter Powder (24g)
- 1 tsp Baking Powder
Wet Ingredients
- 4 Egg Whites (132g)
- ¼ cup Unsweetened Applesauce (60g)
- 2 Tbsp Almond Butter (32g)
Filling
- 2 oz Reduced Fat Cream Cheese (56g)
- ⅓ cup Non-fat Plain Greek Yogurt (75g)
- ½ cup Whey-Casein Vanilla Protein Powder (45g)
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking pan with parchment paper to prepare for baking.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together the rolled oats, vanilla protein powder, unflavored protein powder, peanut butter powder, and baking powder until well combined.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Add the egg whites, unsweetened applesauce, and almond butter to the dry mixture and stir thoroughly. The resulting batter should be thick but spreadable.
- Form Cookies: Scoop approximately 2 to 3 tablespoons of batter per cookie onto the prepared baking pan. Shape each scoop into a cookie form, maintaining approximately 2-inch gaps between each cookie. You should get about 12 cookies.
- Bake: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for about 7 minutes or until they are set.
- Cool Cookies: Once baked, allow the cookies to cool completely on a wire rack to prevent the filling from melting during assembly.
- Prepare Filling: In a clean bowl, whisk together softened reduced fat cream cheese, non-fat plain Greek yogurt, and vanilla whey-casein protein powder until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Assemble Pies: Spoon 1 to 2 tablespoons of the filling onto the base of one cookie, spread evenly, then sandwich with another cookie on top. Repeat this process until all oatmeal cream pies are assembled.
Notes
- Allow cookies to cool completely before adding filling to prevent melting.
- You can substitute oat flour by grinding rolled oats in a blender if unavailable.
- Use softened cream cheese for easier mixing in the filling.
- Adjust sweetness by adding a natural sweetener like stevia or honey to the filling if desired.
- Store assembled oatmeal cream pies in the refrigerator for best freshness.
