What tastes better than an oatmeal cookie?   An oatmeal cookie pie stogged full of dried blueberries and slathered with a tasty cardamom flavoured glaze! 

For the cookie pie:

105g of plain flour (3/4 cup)

3/4 tsp ground cardamom

1/2 tsp fine sea salt

1/2 tsp bicarbonate of soda

150g of old fashioned rolled oats (1 1/2 cups)

8 TBS unsalted butter, at room temperature (110g)

100g of soft light brown muscovado sugar (1/2 cup packed)

95g of golden caster sugar (1/2 cup)

1 large free range egg

1 tsp vanilla extract

75g dried blueberries (1/2 cup) 

For the icing:

70g of icing sugar, sifted (1/2 cup)

1 TBS plus 1 tsp heavy cream

pinch ground cardamom

 

Preheat the oven to 180*C/350*F/ gas mark 4.  Butter a 9 inch round spring form pan, or a pie plate.  Set aside. 

Whisk together the flour, ground cardamom, salt, soda and oats.  Set aside. 

Cream the butter and both sugars together until light and creamy.  Beat in the egg and vanilla extract.  Stir in the dry ingredients, just to combine.   Fold in the dried blueberries.   Dump the batter into the prepared pan and press it out evenly.   Bake for  20 to 25 minutes until set and golden brown on top.  Allow to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before releasing the sides and moving to a wire rack to finish cooling completely.


To make the icing, whisk together all of the ingredients until you have a smooth drizzle.  Drizzle over the cold pie and allow to set.  Cut into wedges to serve.  Delicious!

 

Absolutely feastworthy, this is one of those simple bakes that your family will be begging you to bake again and again.  Served warm and with a scoop of vanilla icecream is another delicious way to enjoy this tasty bake!  Bon Appetit!
