Ingredients
Instructions
- Cream the butter and sugar together until well combined.
- Add the beaten eggs, dark brown syrup, oatmeal, and vanilla extract to the creamed mixture.
- Mix all ingredients thoroughly until smooth.
- Pour the mixture into an unbaked pie shell.
- Bake at 325°F for about 40 minutes or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using brown sugar instead of granulated sugar for creaming with the butter. If you want to add a twist, try incorporating nuts like pecans or walnuts, which pair beautifully with the oatmeal. You could also substitute maple syrup for the dark brown syrup for a different taste. Ensure you let the pie cool before slicing for cleaner pieces.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the oatmeal pie warm or at room temperature. A scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream complements the pie wonderfully. For an added touch, sprinkle with cinnamon or serve alongside a slice of Florida Orange Meringue Pie for a delightful dessert spread. Pair it with coffee or tea for a cozy afternoon treat.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place individual slices in the microwave for about 20-30 seconds or until warmed through. You can also reheat the entire pie in a 325°F oven for 10-15 minutes, ensuring it’s heated evenly.
