How to Make Oatmeal Cream Pie Bars

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line two 9×13-inch baking pans with parchment paper and lightly coat with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. In a large bowl, beat 2½ sticks of butter with the brown sugar and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs and vanilla, then beat until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture and mix just until combined. Stir in the quick oats and old-fashioned oats.
  4. Divide the dough evenly between the prepared pans. Lightly spray your hands or the back of a spoon with nonstick spray, then press the dough into an even layer.
  5. Bake for about 13 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Let the bars cool completely in the pans.
  6. To make the filling, beat 1½ sticks of butter until creamy. Add the powdered sugar and beat until smooth, then mix in the marshmallow fluff and vanilla until light and fluffy.
  7. Lift one cooled cookie layer out of the pan and place it on a serving tray or cutting board. Spread the filling evenly over the top. Carefully remove the second cookie layer from its pan and place it over the filling, pressing down gently.
  8. Freeze for 1 hour to firm up, then slice into bars and serve.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use just one type of oats?

You can, but using both gives the bars a better texture: chewy and soft.

Can I make these ahead of time?

Yes! They keep well in the fridge for 2-3 days in an airtight container.

Can I freeze them longer than an hour?

Sure. Just let them sit out for a few minutes before slicing so they're easier to cut.

Can I use store-bought frosting instead of homemade filling?

You could, but the marshmallow cream filling is what makes these taste like the real deal.
