Ingredients for oatmeal raisin cookie pie

Ingredients You’ll Need

  • Graham cracker crust 
  • Eggs 
  • Light corn syrup 
  • Brown sugar 
  • Melted butter 
  • Quick oats 
  • All-purpose flour 
  • Cinnamon
  • Salt 
  • Raisins 
  • Don’t skip the cooling step. It’s tempting to dig in right away, but this pie needs at least an hour to cool and set.
  • Make it your own. Add a splash of vanilla extract, swap in chocolate chips, or throw in a handful of chopped pecans.
  • Serve it warm. If it cools too much before you dig in, pop slices in the microwave for 10–15 seconds to get that fresh-from-the-oven vibe.
  • Top it off. A scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream takes this pie over the top.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prep the oven

Heat your oven to 325°F and place the oven rack in the middle position. This ensures even baking.

2. Make the Filling

In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, corn syrup, brown sugar, and melted butter until smooth. Add the flour, oats, cinnamon, salt, and raisins, then stir until everything is combined. It should look like thick cookie dough batter.

3. Assemble the Pie

Pour batter into your graham cracker crust and smooth it out with a rubber spatula. For easier handling, place the pie on a cookie sheet before it goes into the oven.

4. Bake

Bake for 45–50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is just set. Give the pie a gentle jiggle; it should be slightly firm but not overly wobbly.

5. Cool & Serve

Let the pie cool completely before slicing. This helps the filling firm up. Serve as-is, or go all out with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.

Storage Tips

This oatmeal raisin cookie pie is rich and keeps beautifully, so you don’t have to worry about polishing it off in one sitting! Once cooled, it can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. If you’d like it to last a bit longer, pop it in the fridge where it’ll keep well for about 5 days. 

You can even freeze individual slices! Just wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and store for up to 2 months. When you’re ready to enjoy, thaw and reheat for that fresh-from-the-oven taste.

Can I use a regular pie crust instead of a graham cracker crust?

Yes! A store-bought or homemade pie dough works just as well as a graham cracker crust. If you love the texture of chewy oatmeal raisin cookies, the buttery pie dough adds that same old-fashioned feel, closer to a pecan pie base.

Do I need to soak the raisins first?

Not required, but it’s a great trick! Soaking the raisins in hot water for 5–10 minutes will plump them up and make the filling extra soft and chewy. Just drain them well before adding to your batter.

Can I swap the corn syrup with something else?

Corn syrup gives the pie its classic glossy finish and chewy texture, much like pecan pie. If you’d rather not use it, you can try maple syrup or golden syrup, though the texture may turn out a little different.

How do I know when the pie is done baking?

The top should look golden brown, and the filling should be “just set” in the center. Give the pie plate a gentle jiggle: the edges should be firm while the middle has a very slight wobble. It’ll continue to firm up as it cools.

What’s the best way to serve oatmeal raisin cookie pie?

It’s delicious on its own, but even better warmed up with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. The creamy contrast makes the cinnamon and brown sugar flavors really shine.

  1. “They” say these are good. So I think, I will cook it to take to “they”‘s for Sunday lunch.
    I know it will be good. I use to love Grandma’s fried raisin pies. 😉

  2. Oh Christy, I swear we must be related somehow! I can relate to so many things in this post, it’s almost crazy! For one, I too grew up listening to Charlie Daniel’s music since my mom has always been an avid country music fan (well, not so much today, since alot of today’s country artists are pretty much as raunchy or suggestive as some of the other genres of music out there). Anyway, CDB’s ‘Devil Went Down To Georgia’ was pretty much the only country music song I could stomach back then. Have you ever heard the follow-up to that song? ‘The Devil Came Back to Georgia’? It is a collaboration between CDB and a fantastic violinist, Mark O’Connor. Travis
    Tritt and Johnny Cash sing the lyrics. The violin playing in that song is mind-blowing! If you haven’t heard of it, do yourself a favor and google it. Amazing! The other thing in your post that caught my eye was the phrase, “They say…..”. In my family, we too have heard it used ad nauseum. My grandmother has always been a good one for parroting the virtues of “they” and what they had to say. We laugh about it all the time! As for your stop at Loveless Cafe, I just placed and received a mail order from the Loveless Cafe this past week – I love their biscuit mix and strawberry preserves. I keep telling the hubby we have to plan another trip down South and stop there. And lastly, I have read Tamara Alexander’s books as well. I enjoy her writing so much. I hope to meet you someday; it sounds like we have a lot in common. Have a blessed day, as “they say”….!

  3. Love the idea of oatmeal and raisins, know my hubby will like it too, sadly my daughter hates raisins, for what reason I am not sure, she says they are too sweet, but will eat grapes, don’t get that???
    However I am going to try to make this pie, but I don’t like corn syrup and am wondering if I can sub in Rodger’s Golden instead.
