"These homemade oatmeal cream pies recipe bakes up perfectly chewy with lightly crisp edges and that signature bend in the center, thanks to tested ratios of brown sugar, butter, and quick oats. If you’ve been craving that nostalgic lunchbox treat but want real ingredients and bakery level texture, this is the one you’ll come back to again and again."  Comment from One Sweet Appetite

For sure this is a nostalgic treat that I remember enjoying as a child and still enjoy the ones that come from the grocery store.  I am very happy to have a recipe so I can make them at home.
