Oatmeal Cookie Pie Crust

I love cheesecake and I do love traditional graham cracker crust, but I also love oatmeal cookies. Like. A lot. So, I decided to try this oatmeal cookie crust with my low fat cheese cake and I have to say. Damn. It is yummy! 


  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1/3 cup firmly packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

    1. 1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9 inch spring form pan. I use butter, crisco or sometimes cooking spray

    2. 2. Mix the flour, cinnamon, and salt and then add the oats

    3. 3. Using a mixer on medium speed, beat the brown sugar, butter, and vanilla 

    4. 4. Using low speed, gradually add the flour mixture and mix very lightly, just until it is combined

    5. 5. Press the mixture into the bottom and slightly up the sides 

    6. 6. Bake 10 minutes. I find it easier to place the pan on a cookie sheet to avoid dropping it
