I admit that there was hesitation earlier than making this do-it-yourself oatmeal cream pies recipe – was it going to be too time consuming? Guess what? Nope! It was fast, easy to make, and consisted of on a regular basis substances! And, even having to substitute just a few substances (common oats, Irish butter, and vanilla bean paste) they turned out completely scrumptious!! I at all times love and respect a recipe that may adapt to a couple substitutions!
I ended up making the oatmeal cookie batter and having to relaxation it within the fridge in a single day – no time to bake them off. As a substitute of standard butter, I used unsalted Irish butter for the filling. It was creamy and fairly yummy.
As a result of the filling is uncooked, I selected to make use of vanilla bean paste as an alternative of extract. I elevated the quantity to 2 tsp to reinforce the flavour. I additionally added a pinch of salt to stability the sweetness.
As a result of the time to make them was fairly fast, substances I’d have on-hand or straightforward to get, and customizable, I’ll for positive be making these once more. I’d add some chopped nuts and/or flaky salt to the cookies. Hmmm…it’s good to have choices.
