How to Make Keto “Oatmeal” Creme Pies

First, the “oatmeal” cookies!

The key to tricking your mouth into thinking these are actual oatmeal cookies is sliced almonds and unsweetened coconut flakes. The combination gives the perfect amount of chewy with the slightest bit of crunch that you’d expect in an oatmeal cookie.

In a food processor, combine the coconut flakes, sliced almonds, almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt and pulse until well combined. It will appear to have “oatmeal flakes” in it.

While the dough is chilling, preheat the oven to 325 degrees F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Once chilled, roll out the dough to about 1/3-inch thickness between two pieces of parchment paper.

Use a round cookie cutter (or in my case, a small wine glass, lol) to cut out uniform shapes and place onto a baking sheet.

Bake the cookies for 12-15 minutes, until golden brown around the edges and just barely firm to the touch in the middle.

Remove the cookies from the oven and allow to cool on the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.

While the cookies are cooling, prepare the creme filling!

In a large bowl, beat the butter on medium-high speed for about 3 minutes, until light and fluffy.

Turn the speed down to low and gradually add in the powdered swerve, about ½ cup at a time. Continue mixing on low speed until the powdered swerve is completely incorporated.

Then, add in vanilla extract and heavy cream and mix until combined.

Turn the mixer back up to medium-high speed and beat the mixture for an additional 1-2 minutes.

If needed, add in a little more heavy cream, 1 teaspoon at a time, until you reach the consistency you desire.
