Little Debbie Makes a Comeback! Paleo Oatmeal Creme Pies... Mmmmm....

This delicious find came from the Unrefined Kitchen, so I definitely can't take credit for it. But seriously. When you can take a favorite childhood treat and turn it into a healthy snack, I'm all aboard!

“Oatmeal Creme” Pies (these are grain-free, egg-free, dairy-free and no refined sugars!)
Cookie Ingredients:
  • 1 cup creamy almond butter
  • 1/3 cup raw honey
  • 2 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 3 Tbsp. water
  • 1 Tbsp. ground chia seeds
  • 1 1/2-2 tsp. cinnamon
  • 1/8 tsp. nutmeg
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1/2 tsp. baking soda
  • 1/2 cup shredded unsweetened coconut
  • 1/2 cup raisins
Cookie Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Mix all the cookie ingredients together in a large bowl. Allow to set a few minutes so that the chia will bind the batter.
3. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Drop spoonfuls of dough unto the the paper.
4. Remove cookies from oven and press down gently with a small piece of parchment paper to flatten.
5. Cool completely.

4. Remove mixture from stove and slowly pour into bowl with gelatin. Mix vigorously with wire whisk
5. Mix until the mixture becomes thick like marshmallow creme. (This could take up to 10 minutes.)
6. Spread creme on bottom-side of a cookie as thick as you like. Top it off with another cookie to make a “sandwich”. Enjoy!
