Oatmeal Pie

Oatmeal Pie

Oatmeal pie is a type of dessert that originated in the United States. It is similar to a classic pecan pie, but with oatmeal replacing the pecans. This pie typically consists of a buttery crust filled with a mixture of cooked oats, sugar, butter and eggs. The filling is usually spiced with cinnamon, nutmeg and vanilla, giving it a warm, comforting flavor. Oatmeal pie is low in cholesterol and sodium, but can be high in calories and sugar. Some variations may also include nuts or dried fruit for added texture and flavor. While it is generally enjoyed as a sweet treat, oatmeal pie can also make a tasty breakfast or snack. It is best served warm with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
