Healthier Oatmeal Cream Pies (Vegan+GF) – Sincerely Tori
So were you a fan of Little Debbie’s famous cream pies as a kid? I liked them but I could never figure out how I really felt about them because they were obviously not healthy at all. On the other hand though, you sort of felt like they should be because they were oatmeal, you know? That’s pretty much what this recipe is doing. I mean, they could be a lot worse but I’ll be honest and admit they’re not exactly the “healthiest” choice. They’re just a healthier alternative. I just figured that if I was going to share a fresh treat this January it should at least pretend to be healthy, right? Hey, these are gluten free, dairy free, vegan, oil free, and pretty close to being refined sugar free. I did include a little powdered sugar in the filling because I wanted it to be a little bit whiter than using a hundred percent of a more natural sweetener. You could probably get away with simply using cashews and maple syrup if you want though. Basically, these are the perfect indulgence if you’re wanting to bake something for friends and family that’s not majorly OTT but still feels naughty. They’re especially great of one of said friends has a gluten intolerance or other allergy. Anyway, I hope these are something you can make and enjoy this chilly Winter season. Ever wanted to make you're own healthier version of this classic treat? Now you can!
