Thank you again for your condolences and patience over these last few weeks. I thought I was going to get back into the swing of things last week and then we both got sick.
So, hopefully things will finally return to normal around here this week! Since I hadn’t been in the kitchen for so long baking, I was anxious to whip up a few things.
However, it’s been super hot here and the thought of turning on the oven for very long wasn’t appealing.
This peanut butter cup oatmeal cookie pie was the perfect dessert to make that both got me back into the kitchen and didn’t require heating up the house!
This cool, creamy pie is perfect for these hot summer days. The oven only needs to be on for a short time to brown the crust and then it’s all no-bake!
Instead of using a traditional graham cracker crust, this crust contains oats and brown sugar to give it the taste of an oatmeal cookie.
The cookie crust is then topped with a creamy peanut butter filling of peanut butter, pudding, whipped topping, a hint of brown sugar, and of course, peanut butter cups.
Stick it in the refrigerator for a couple of hours and you have all the flavors of a peanut butter cup oatmeal cookie wrapped up in an easy, creamy pie.
It’s sure to please your family and friends at your next gathering, and it’ll make you happy that it was so easy to whip together!
