How to Make Keto “Oatmeal” Creme Pies
First, the “oatmeal” cookies!
The key to tricking your mouth into thinking these are actual oatmeal cookies is sliced almonds and unsweetened coconut flakes. The combination gives the perfect amount of chewy with the slightest bit of crunch that you’d expect in an oatmeal cookie.
In a food processor, combine the coconut flakes, sliced almonds, almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt and pulse until well combined. It will appear to have “oatmeal flakes” in it.
Next, in a large mixing bowl, beat together the butter with swerve sweetener and brown swerve until creamy.
Then, beat in one egg and the vanilla extract until well combined.
To finish making the dough, pour the coconut/almond mixture from the food processor bowl into the large bowl and continue beating until a nice dough forms.
To make the dough easier to roll out, and less sticky, ball it up in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

While the dough is chilling, preheat the oven to 325 degrees F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Once chilled, roll out the dough to about 1/3-inch thickness between two pieces of parchment paper.
Use a round cookie cutter (or in my case, a small wine glass, lol) to cut out uniform shapes and place onto a baking sheet.
Bake the cookies for 12-15 minutes, until golden brown around the edges and just barely firm to the touch in the middle.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow to cool on the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
While the cookies are cooling, prepare the creme filling!
In a large bowl, beat the butter on medium-high speed for about 3 minutes, until light and fluffy.
Turn the speed down to low and gradually add in the powdered swerve, about ½ cup at a time. Continue mixing on low speed until the powdered swerve is completely incorporated.
Then, add in vanilla extract and heavy cream and mix until combined.
Turn the mixer back up to medium-high speed and beat the mixture for an additional 1-2 minutes.
If needed, add in a little more heavy cream, 1 teaspoon at a time, until you reach the consistency you desire.
To assemble the cookies, pipe or spread the creme filling on the flat side of half of the cookies and put the remaining cookies on top.
These Keto “Oatmeal” Creme Pies received a huge thumbs up from my family! I hope you and your family enjoy them as much as we do!

I made these tonight. Not sure what I did wrong but some of them just fell apart. Everything taste really good but please tell me what I had to do wrong?
It’s tough to say. Were they too dry and that’s why they fell apart, or too gooey?
How would you store these in the refrigerator? Countertop? Do you think they can be frozen?
I usually store them in an airtight container on the counter for up to 3 day, in the refrigerator for 7 days, and in the freezer for up to 3 months.
What is the nutritional info? How many net carbs?
Hey Barbara. I updated the recipe to show the nutritional data. Each cookie has 4G net carbs.
How many net carbs are in each cookie?
Hey Tracey. I didn’t realize the nutrition data wasn’t showing, so thanks for letting me know! Each cookie has 4G net carbs.
I just made these and they are excellent! Thank you!
So glad you enjoyed them!!
Oooh! I’m excited for this. They look so good!
Thank you! They are sooooo good!
How does this make 16 cookies sandwiches?!?
Hey Megan! It all depends on the size of your cookie cutter 🙂
I got 6 cookie sandwiches and 12 individual cookies – I found a wine glass was way too big and for me the dough was too wet to transfer so I just molded 12 on my silpat mat. 16 would be very small cookies if you ask me!
