Description
A delicious twist on the classic oatmeal cream pie, these bars combine chewy oatmeal cookies with a sweet, creamy filling.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups rolled oats
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups marshmallow fluff
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (for filling)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 9×13-inch baking dish by greasing it lightly or lining it with parchment paper.
- Combine rolled oats, flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon in a large mixing bowl, mixing until evenly distributed.
- Cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar in a separate bowl until light and fluffy.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, blending until fully incorporated.
- Stir in the oat mixture gradually until just combined.
- Spread half of the oatmeal mixture into the prepared baking dish, pressing it down evenly for the base.
- Bake the base layer for about 12-15 minutes or until lightly golden brown; cool for a few minutes.
- Beat the marshmallow fluff, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract in a separate bowl for the filling until smooth and fluffy.
- Spread the filling evenly over the cooled crust, then crumble the remaining oatmeal mixture over the top.
- Return the pan to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until the top is golden and filling is set.
- Cool completely in the pan, then slice into squares and serve.
Notes
For dairy-free, use vegan butter and dairy-free marshmallow fluff. For gluten-free, replace all-purpose flour with gluten-free flour.
