Amish Oatmeal Pie Recipe - Tastes of Lizzy T

Oatmeal Pie Recipe

Have you ever heard of Amish Oatmeal Pie?  Evidently during the Civil War, pecans were in short supply in the South, making them very expensive. People would substitute oatmeal for the pecans, resulting in this delicious oatmeal pie that tastes similar to a pecan pie. I’ve only had pecan pie a handful of times in my life and I actually prefer this oatmeal pie over pecan pie. This recipe, however, doesn’t come from a Southern cookbook, but from my Amish cookbook. I’m sure both know how to make a good pie!

This sweet pie bakes up soft and gooey. Every bite brought a different food to mind. A bowl of oatmeal with brown sugar. A cinnamon roll. Oatmeal Cookies.  Pecan pie. Oatmeal is one of those versatile ingredients that is in so many comfort foods of ours. And this pie is one of my new favorites. Amish Oatmeal Pie Recipe - Tastes of Lizzy T

How to Make Oatmeal Pie

You’ll start with an unbaked pie shell. You’ll find our favorite recipe here, but if you’d like a shortcut, use store-bought pie dough.  If you make our recipe, only make half of it since you’ll just be needing a single crust.

Next comes the filling. This is one of the easiest pie fillings you’ll come across: 3 beaten eggs, 2 tablespoons softened butter, 2/3 cup old-fashioned rolled oats, 2/3 cup milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla, 2/3 cup white sugar, and 1 cup of Domino® Pourable Light Brown Sugar. The brown sugar is what gives this pie an unbelievable taste.

Mix all of the ingredients and pour them into the unbaked pie shell. Bake in a 350-degree oven for 45-50 minutes. The center of the pie should look fully cooked and not seem “jiggly”.The pie will come out soft, but not so soft that it can’t be cut into slices. As you can see from the picture, there will be just a little bit of syrup that oozes out…perfect for spooning over a scoop of ice cream. And the ice cream is a must!

  153. I use brown sugar in nearly all my baked goods that include apple pies, struesels, baked sweet potatoes, etc. My daughter is vegan and will only use brown sugar. The possibilities are endless…

  156. This pie was ridiculous!! I made it for Thanksgiving Dinner yesterday and basically sucked down half of it before everybody else was done with their dinner…. Reminded us of my wife’s Grammy’s baked oatmeal from years ago. One of the best pies I’ve ever eaten–it will be a frequent return visitor.
