Ingredients
Instructions
- Blend the oatmeal, sugar, Karo syrup, butter or margarine, and eggs together until well combined.
- Pour the mixture into an unbaked 9-inch pie shell.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 20 minutes or until the filling is set.
Tips & Substitutions
For a nuttier flavor, consider adding 1/2 cup of chopped nuts such as pecans or walnuts to the filling. If you prefer a sweeter pie, you can increase the sugar to 1 cup. If you don't have Karo syrup, honey or maple syrup can be used as substitutes, though they will slightly alter the flavor. Make sure to blend all ingredients thoroughly to ensure an even consistency.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the oatmeal pie warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for a delightful contrast. It pairs beautifully with Mama's Baked Sweet Potatoes for a comforting meal. For added texture, sprinkle some toasted coconut on top just before serving.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover oatmeal pie in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. To reheat, simply place a slice in the microwave for 20-30 seconds or until warmed through. You can also enjoy it cold, as the flavors develop further when chilled.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this oatmeal pie ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the pie a day in advance and store it in the refrigerator. Just make sure to let it cool completely before covering it. When ready to serve, you can reheat it or enjoy it cold for a refreshing treat.
What can I use instead of butter?
If you're looking for a dairy-free option, you can substitute the butter with coconut oil or a dairy-free margarine. Both will work well in maintaining the pie's rich flavor and texture.
Can I use quick oats instead of rolled oats?
Yes, quick oats can be used in place of rolled oats if that's what you have on hand. However, keep in mind that the texture might be slightly different, as quick oats tend to absorb more liquid.
