Let ‘er rip, Deborah- spin those nutty wheels like they’re Beyblades! With Oatmeal Creme Pies out of the way, which Little Debbie cake should get a cereal next? /79I5eP0DvR I’m sure everyone reading this has a different idea of what the best Little Debbie Cereal might be-I’d probably say either a simple-to-replicate palate pleaser like Fudge Rounds or a left field option like Pecan Spinwheels. There was already a rumored Cosmic Brownies Cereal that either got nixed at the beta stage or will be coming soon. That means Kellogg’s and Little Debbie might release sequel cereals, a la Post and Hostess.
Most of all, I’m glad Oatmeal Creme Pies Cereal is a) getting a lot of hype and b) deserves a fair amount of it. It’s a fun cereal with a magic all its own-worth keeping a box on hand as an experimental mix-in, but maybe not a regular re-purchase if you like more straightforward flavor profiles. That said, I feel like most people will enjoy OCP Cereal by merit of its novel approach to blackstrap cinnamon sweetness.
Oatmeal cream pie cereal plus#
In a perfect world, this cereal would have half its pieces swapped for Donette-like rings plus a handful of raisins. Oatmeal Creme Pies Cereal isn’t a perfect adaptation. Likewise, milk gives the crispy pieces a subtle sogginess that better mimics a real Oatmeal Creme Pie’s caramelized sponge cake texture. Milk does a great of filling in the Oatmeal Creme factor the dry Pie’d cereal pieces lack. …by which I mean, carry it right into a milky bowl. Nevertheless, the molasses and cinnamon are enough to carry Oatmeal Creme Pie Cereal… Despite the box’s boast about each piece’s “creme coating,” it’s more of a sprinkled smack of creaminess than a full-on powdered punch. I wish this last element was a little more pronounced. Or, using analogous cereal arithmetic, it’s 5 parts Malt-O-Meal Churr-O’s, 3 parts Cinnamon Puffins-which are sweetened with molasses-and 2 parts Hostess Powdered Donettes Cereal.
Picture a cinnamon & molasses oatmeal with a touch of sweet vanilla. And how might I describe this unique and plush glaze? It’s strange-though OCP Cereal’s constituent taste notes are each familiar on their own, together they make for an innovative amalgam. This allows the braised-on flavor to shine without having its luster shucked away. Little Debbie Oatmeal Creme Pies Cereal may not be 100% accurate to its namesake cake, but it’s still got a lot going for it.įor starters, despite my cornmeal concerns, there are no infamously invasive corn notes here to ruin the otherwise earthy and neutral cereal base. Worst of all, no raisins-the secret behind Little Debbie’s OCP recipe-in the ingredients list? Boy, this cereal’s so dead on arrival I oughta dig a plot for it, right between Fido and the tomato plant I spilled Gatorade on. But now that it’s finally happened, can Little Debbie’s milk & spoon debut live up to decades of vacuum-sealed hype? Let’s unwrap Oatmeal Creme Pies Cereal from the top.Įxcuse me, decidedly not pie-shaped rings? Minus two points.Īnd they’re made from a blend of corn and oat flour? Minus five more. No, an Oatmeal Creme Pie cereal has been a no-brainer for years. And I’m not just saying that because I grew up making my own double-decker Oatmeal Creme Pies (DIY is better: the official double-D OCPs are just a clever way to cut out half of the moist cookie middlin’). None of the snacks I’ve listed even come close to the sugar-sandwiched icon that is the Little Debbie Oatmeal Creme Pie. I’d guess the average person could only name a handful-the likes of Zebra Cakes, Star Crunch, Swiss Rolls and Cosmic Brownies-while grease-loving gas station regulars (picture me raising my own slick mitts as identification) could probably tell you about deeper cuts like Donut Sticks, Fudge Rounds, and Pecan Spinwheels.ĭespite this sprawling cake-ography, when it came time for Kellogg’s and Little Debbie to drop a cereal, there was likely no doubt about which bite would join the breakfast bowl. Not counting seasonal specialties like Christmas Tree Brownies, Football Brownies, Easter Egg Brownies and every other merrily malformed hunk of brownie batter, Little Debbie currently produces 47 different snacks.
It’s the Dame Diminutive Deborah, better known as Little Debbie. Who is the world’s most prolific artist? Paul McCartney? Phish? Viper?
