Oatmeal Pie

Oatmeal Pie - Old-fashioned dessert alert! A sweet, decadent pie topped with crunchy oats.

Oatmeal Pie is a truly decadent vintage dessert that takes no time to make! This thick and gooey molasses pie is perfect for the holidays and just like a pecan pie with no nuts!

If you love pecan pie, you HAVE to try this Oatmeal Pie! It’s an old-fashioned dessert recipe just like grandma used to make. It has the consistency of a pecan pie  — minus the nuts — with an oatmeal topping. If you added some raisins, it would taste like a big, warm Oatmeal Raisin Cookie!

The molasses gives it a rich brown color and an added depth of flavor to this gooey pie filling. There’s also molasses in the light brown sugar, which gives this pie its classic dark brown color. Serve with a helping of vanilla ice cream if you wish.

    Can You Freeze Oatmeal Pie?

    This pie is one of my favorites because it lasts for months frozen!

    To freeze, simply bake and let cool completely. Then, cover the pie and put it in the freezer. It can last up to 2 months and still be perfectly fresh!

    To serve, simply thaw and slice. I like mine cold, with a dollop of whipped cream or vanilla bean ice cream on top.

    What To Serve With This

    Pineapple Rice Pudding is a sweet and creamy vintage treat with a hint of yummy pineapple flavor! It’s the perfect light dessert to end a delicious meal. 

    Mud Hen Bars are another vintage dessert from Grandma’s cookbook. It has a cookie bar base, topped with a rich layer of walnuts, chocolate and melted marshmallows followed by a sweet brown sugar meringue topping.

    If you are browsing through an old church cookbook, you’ll probably see a recipe for Shoofly Pie. It’s a Pennsylvania Dutch dessert recipe from the 1800s. Typically, it’s made with molasses, but this recipe I found uses brown sugar instead. It was my first experience with Shoofly Pie, but now I make it all the time!
