Okay if you follow me,you know that a lot of my treats end up being giant versions of lunchbox treats. Boston Cream Rolls and Swiss Cake Rolls, for example. I was at it once more when Kellogs spotted me some yummy All Bran cereal. They supplied me with several recipes, but I was in one of my snack cake moods, so this is what I made.
*To get the texture just right, you need to put your oats and bran buds into a food processor and pulse a few times , to even out the texture.
Fluff together:
3/4 c dark brown sugar
3/4 c sugar
3/4 c butter
1 tsp vanilla
2 tbs dark corn syrup
1/2 tsp cinnamon
Now add
2 c flour
1 1/2 c oats * see note above
1/4 c bran buds cereal or bran flakes
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
mix dry and wet ingredients together add in 1/3 c hot water
drop by tbs onto parchment lined cookie sheet
freeze for 15-20 min before baking at 350 for 9-12 min
Butter-cream filling:
Take 1 stick softened butter, (salted) add 4 c shifted powdered sugar, 1 tsp vanilla 3 tbs cream
mix until fluffy and sandwich between cookies. Enjoy!
can you use oatmeal instead of the cereal?
These look so good! I had this once at a bakery, I would love to make them at home now.

I am sure you could try, but maybe omit the hot water.
Mrawwrr.. om nom nom.. gonna make these for the boys on saturday. oooh.. evil oatmeal pies.
Oh, YUM! I haven’t had an oatmeal cream pie in forever! Thanks for the tip on processing the oats and cereal, too. They look fantastic!
Yum! My husband loves these…well, the ones in the box
And I love finding recipes that use cereal. How clever. Can’t wait to try this! Thanks 
OMG….these remind me of the little debbie cakes that I used to get for my daughter, except delicious….lol. I can’t wait to try this recipe!!!!
I just finished baking these and they are delicious albeit sweet! Next time I’ll make the cookies smaller so they are a treat and not too overwhelming. They are delicious though!
Yep- they are sweet, I should have forewarned- I’m glad you enjoyed them!
mmmmm these look bloody gorgeous right now! Totally wouldn’t last 5mins in our house!
