Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust

  • 1 1/4 cups rolled oats
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 7 tbsp unsalted butter, melted

For the Filling

  • 1 1/2 cups brown sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2/3 cup heavy cream
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup corn syrup
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Oat Crust: Toast 1 1/4 cups rolled oats in a dry pan until fragrant. In a bowl, combine toasted oats, 3/4 cup flour, 1/2 cup brown sugar, and 7 tbsp melted unsalted butter. Mix thoroughly and press the mixture evenly into your pie dish to form the crust.
  2. Bake the Crust: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the crust for 10-12 minutes until it is golden around the edges. This prevents sogginess once the filling is added.
  3. Make the Filling: In a large bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups brown sugar, 3 large eggs, 2/3 cup heavy cream, 4 tbsp melted unsalted butter, 1/4 cup corn syrup, 2 tsp vanilla extract, and 1/2 tsp salt until smooth and glossy.
  4. Bake the Pie: Pour the filling into the pre-baked crust. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 35 minutes until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly to maintain the gooey texture.
  5. Cool and Serve: Let the pie cool completely at room temperature. Then refrigerate for a couple of hours to set the filling and make slicing easier and neater.

Notes

  • Toast your oats before mixing them into the crust to deepen flavor and add crunch.
  • Do not overbake; a slight jiggle in the center means perfect gooeyness.
  • Use room temperature ingredients to help the filling emulsify smoothly and prevent separation.
  • Line your pie dish with parchment paper for easy slice removal.
  • Chill the pie before slicing to ensure cleaner, neater pieces.
