Oatmeal Cream Whoopie Pies

After introducing salted caramel whoopie pies into our lives, I knew I wanted to try new versions of this tasty treat. The problem? I was pretty sure I started out with the best one. I didn't know how I was going to top the salted caramel version, but I was willing to give it a shot. I browsed through recipes on my favorite foodie blog and finally came upon these: the oatmeal cream whoopie pies. I used to love those Little Debbie oatmeal cream pies as a kid, so why not recreate the homemade version? Yall, these were delicious. Parker and I couldn't stay out of them. I made them after I ran 10 miles so I wouldn't feel too badly about eating 4 in one sitting. They were that good!

Ingredients:
1 box yellow cake mix
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 eggs
1/4 cup water
1 cup oats (not quick or instant...the real deal)
1 Tbsp cinnamon
store bought vanilla frosting (you can make your own, but let's keep it simple)

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Combine cake mix, oil, eggs, water, oats, and cinnamon in a mixing bowl. 
3. Drop small spoonfuls onto a lined baking sheet (leave about an inch between each cookie) and bake 8-9 minutes. 
4. Remove from oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and continue cooling for another 15 minutes. 
5. Once cooled, place a small spoonful of vanilla frosting on the center of a cookie. Take another cookie and gently press together, causing the icing to spread to the edges. 
 
Enjoy! This recipe makes about 12 whoopie pies, depending on your definition of a "small spoonful" ;)

I have to say, it sounds to me like that salted caramel ones would still be better. ;-)
