A rich, chewy oatmeal pie with coconut, nuts, and a honey-sweetened filling, perfect for dessert or teatime, appealing to those who love classic, comforting treats.
Ingredients
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs.
- Add honey, oats, brown sugar, butter, and nuts, then mix well.
- Pour the mixture into the unbaked pie crust.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 40 to 45 minutes or until browned and a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
- Allow to cool before serving.
- Serve with whipped cream if desired.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using maple syrup instead of honey. If you prefer a nut-free version, you can omit the nuts or substitute with seeds like sunflower or pumpkin seeds. Be sure to watch the pie closely during the last few minutes of baking to avoid over-browning. If you want to enhance texture, try using old-fashioned oats instead of quick-cooking oats.
Serving Suggestions
This Old Fashioned Oatmeal Pie is delightful on its own but can be elevated with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. It pairs beautifully with Mom'S Green Salad for a light meal. Additionally, serving it with a side of fresh berries can add a refreshing contrast to the sweetness of the pie.
Storage & Reheating
To store leftovers, cover the pie tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and refrigerate for up to 3 days. For longer storage, consider freezing slices in an airtight container for up to 2 months. To reheat, place slices in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes until warmed through.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a pre-made pie crust for this recipe?
Yes, using a pre-made pie crust is a convenient option. Just ensure it is thawed if frozen and fit it to your pie dish before pouring in the filling. This will save you time and still deliver a delicious pie.
What can I substitute for eggs in this recipe?
If you need an egg substitute, you can use 1/4 cup of unsweetened applesauce or a flaxseed meal mixture (1 tablespoon of flaxseed meal mixed with 2.5 tablespoons of water) for each egg. This will help maintain the structure and moisture of the pie without altering the flavor significantly.
Can I make this pie ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can bake the pie a day in advance and store it in the refrigerator. Just allow it to cool completely before covering it. When ready to serve, you can enjoy it chilled or reheat it gently in the oven for a warm dessert.
