Do kiddos still take oatmeal cream pies in their lunchboxes these days? If not, it’s a shame, and Baker might just bring the trend back when he starts school in a few years. But this Mama won’t be packing that store-bought version we’re all familiar with, I’ll be making these homemade Oatmeal Cream Pies that every kid in his class will be begging to trade for.
