Ingredients

Scale

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)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking pan with parchment paper to prepare for baking.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Bake: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for about 7 minutes or until they are set.
  6. Cool Cookies: Once baked, allow the cookies to cool completely on a wire rack to prevent the filling from melting during assembly.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
