Blueberry Bourbon Oatmeal Cream Pies - Classic oatmeal cream pies get a sweet upgrade with fresh blueberries and bourbon. Filled with a lush mascarpone filling, these easy nostalgic treats are always a hit!

Good morning guys! I can’t think of a better way to start the day than with these blissful little oatmeal cream pies. The classic treat you may have found in you lunch box as a kid has been completely revamped. Chewy oatmeal cookies are bursting with local blueberries and filled with a vanilla bean mascarpone filling. Seriously, I really wish I could just hand you one through the computer…

I don’t know about you, but I am completely smitten with berries right now. The color alone is enough to make me swoon, and they add such a brightness to baked goods. I added some blueberries to my go to oatmeal cookie recipe and they turned out awesome! The berries pop while they’re baking giving off this beautiful color. The cookies alone are a treat, and being that they’re full of oats and fresh berries, maybe they pass as breakfast?!

The next step in this makeover was to make the cream filling. The fact that I had to pry myself away from the cookies to make it was torture, but believe me, it’s worth it! There was no doubt in my mind that I wanted to use mascarpone, so I mixed it with a little light brown sugar and vanilla bean paste. It’s creamy with just a hint of earthy sweetness and the little specks of vanilla bean make me happy. I sandwiched the cookies with it, and this is the point where I don’t even have words.

All I can tell you is you need to make these! I promise you will thank me. They’re super easy to make as well, so they’re great for any skill level, and who doesn’t love an oatmeal cream pie!

Notes

I used a piping bag to fill them. You can also use a spoon.

I use a 1/2 ounce cookie scoop to portion the dough. This is about a tablespoon.

    • Yes, you can make & fill them ahead. I like to take them out of the fridge about 10 minutes before serving to take the chill off, but they are just as good straight out of the fridge! I speak from experience! Hope you enjoy them, Stella!

  8. Ok, I never post on blog’s, but this recipe was OUT OF THIS WORLD amazing and I just HAD to say something!! This is by far my most favorite desert now. My husband and I had some really delicious oatmeal cream pies at a restaurant a couple weeks ago and I was hoping to find a recipe that was even half as good, well these were WAY better!! Thanks so much for a perfect recipe:)

  29. These look so great, I am going to make them this weekend! Question for you: I might just make them as regular cookies and not sandwich cookies. If I don’t make the cream and just make (and eat) them plain, do you think the cookies are sweet enough, or should I up the sugar a little? I know with sandwich cookies I’ve made in the past, the cookie itself isn’t that sweet because the you have to offset the sweet filling. Thoughts?

    • Thanks Mary Ellen! I think they are sweet enough on their own. Let me know how they turn out! 🙂
