These air fryer oatmeal creme pies are bursting with buttery flavor, brown sugar and oatmeal flavors. These copycat Little Debbie’s Oatmeal pies will make you forget about the original!
Recipe Overview
Making these air fryer oatmeal creme pies at home has been a game changer for me. I make them at home in my air fryer, freeze them, and then have treats ready when the time calls. As a bonus, freezing them helps me to not eat them all at once!

ingredients you’ll need
- Egg – I use large-sized eggs in this recipe. I prefer to let my eggs sit on the counter for about 30 minutes before using it in a recipe.
- Rolled oats – Use your favorite brand of oats for this recipe.
- Unsulfured molasses – Molasses helps to keep the cookies moist and provide a chewier texture.
- All-purpose flour, unbleached – You can use all purpose gluten or gluten-free flour for this recipe.
- Baking powder – This helps the cookie to expand side to side and rise a touch.
- Baking soda – This helps the cookies rise.
- Spices – The combination of ground Cinnamon and Nutmeg bring subtle flavor notes to the cookies. These spices are warm and inviting, and pairs so well with oatmeal.
- Sugar – A combination of white and brown sugar in cookie recipes gives the perfect somewhat soft, somewhat crispy texture.
- Butter -These cookies are soft and chewy using vegan butter. Soften the butter before you start mixing.
- Powdered Sugar – Be sure to sift your powdered sugar as it helps to remove lumps.
- Vanilla – a good quality pure vanilla extract is a must for this recipe.
- Marshmallow Fluff – Be sure to use marshmallow fluff and not melted marshmallows are they are not the same and this will change the outcome of the recipe.

serving ideas
Oatmeal cream pies are best with a creamy drink! I suggest this Oat Milk Latte which will make you feel like you’re at a fancy coffee shop! If you want a cold beverage this mason jar cold brew will hit the spot.
Storing in the fridge
You should store these in an air-tight container. I like to store the container in my fridge for up to one week.
Freezing for later
Yes, you can freeze oatmeal creme pies. Be sure to wrap the creme pies individually, then place them in a freezer-safe container. When ready to eat, thaw on the counter for around 15 minutes.
Recipe Tips
Pro Tip: This recipe can be made in the air fryer unit with a basket or the air fryer oven. If you are using the air fryer oven, use the middle rack and select the “Air Fry” function.
Pro Tip: Check your food as it cooks. Each air fryer runs a bit differently. Sometimes air frying is a trial-and-error process. Check your food as it cooks to learn your air fryer better! When cooking a new recipe or food items be sure to check your food often to help avoid over/under cooking.
