Ever since you’ve been doing these recreations I’ve always wondered if you could do an episode explaining what each of the crazy additives are and what they do…they aren’t all preservatives so what role do they play? Ask Claire
Thats actually a great question, especially because I’m from the UK and Americans seem to have way more additives in their food than European food. I want to know what exactly each ingredient adds and why.
This version of the show feels like an actual gourmet version of the factory produced foods are being made, I love it. I'd like to see the crews reactions to the food too!
I love how Claire doesn't feel that pressure to be perfect anymore and do a perfect recreation, I'm trying to do that too these days, be kinder and more patient with myself and just enjoy things
I also think that making a “gourmet version” doesn’t have to be exactly the same as the original. There were several times on gourmet makes that Claire make something that seemed more appetizing and appealing but it “wasn’t close enough to the original”
i agree. i respect the work that goes into the experimentation and testing, but seeing Claire get stressed out only stressed me out as well 😅 approaching her "ideal" of the product in her personal taste is good enough for me.
You would like this season of hermit craft, season 10. Everyone was a little tired of building massive things with crazy themes. After try to top each and every past season it seems like all the hermits wanted to top themselves rather than the builds they usually do. I would recommend Mumbo or impulse or grian or scar. They each took on a different style of video and pacing. Especially mumbo going from being a good builder to one of the greats!
I worked in the factory on that line, it's a batter. The reason why you don't see whole oats is when the cookies are damaged while packaging is that they are ground up and put back in the batter. If you get a really sticky one, it has alot of "chops" material in it.
i love that this episode has a lot more trial and error and testing! it really gives a great insight to how the science in baking works, and of course, shows how smart claire is in problem solving
I really love that in this series, Claire is not under pressure. She recreates at her own pace and how she wants it done. 😊 Also, love the little segments in the clip of the cats and the little jolly song that plays whenever they appear. 😁❤
I used to love them. Stopped eating them years ago when the fruit filling got reduced to a fruit smear. Love how dense they are. Would love to see Claire make them.
Nutty Buddies (Formerly known as Nutty Bars) would be pretty challenging because of the textured wafers. I'd love to see how Claire Macgyvers her way through that.
kind of ironic and a little unfortunate that the other one is the one that gets to be called gourmet; it certainly devolved into a recreation of products by the end
I grew up always thinking that baking has to be very exact but Claire shows that it's amazing how much intuition you can gain from being a skilled baker
YES! The brand was Mother’s. I don’t know if it still is. They also used to make a white icing cookie with raisins. I don’t think they do anymore but it was my favorite.
Did I mean to watch this video? No. Do I like Little Debbie's? Also no. Did I watch this whole video through because I was so invested? Absolutely, and the cookie looked amazing.
Oh she's great at this stuff! I've learned so much because of her knowledge in recipe testing. I can intuitively address issues much better in my own kitchen now.
I would LOVE to see you recreate Little Debbie's Star Crunch! It's not as popular as the other Little Debbie classics, but it was famous in my household growing up! My grandma always had these in her purse when she visited and it was a special grandma treat when she came over.
I've noticed that a lot of oatmeal-based bake goods tend to either have raisin paste or raising juice in them even if they don't specifically name the product as "oatmeal raisin"
I think it's one of those instances where an associated flavor enhances the main flavor because our taste memory commonly associates those two flavors together!
I love this show! I'm not sure about others, but I'm totally ok when you strive to make it better than the original and not just recreate it at home! I love seeing the liberty taken to add the warm spices to improve it!! Personally, don't stress it it doesn't look exactly like the OG... you are doing amazing! One of my favorite channels!
I feel that it's so amazing how Claire can tweak recipes so expertly to do exactly what she wants. That takes so much knowledge and experience of being a recipe developer.
Genuinely one of my absolute favorite cooking/baking shows/segments ever. Claire makes such quality content across the board but these recreation videos are not only great entertainment but such a great informative journey she gives us!!! So comforting, entertaining, and learn so much everytime. Thanks for all you do Claire and team!
Since you’re going through the Little Debbie treats I’d love if you recreated their Nutty Bars! I ate these with my grandma all the time as a kid and they’re really nostalgic for me. I’d love to see a way for me to recreate them and make them even better!
I really enjoy that Claire & Team is having this sub-series be about actually making classic treats at home. …In contrast to GM which to me was more about showing it *could* be done at home (regardless of physical or mental cost); but never actually in a way that you should/would do it at home. …Basically im saying this is much better. 😊
Yes! I have a homemade version that I make at my job and I assemble them one day to sit, covered, until the next day when they're served and they're perfectly soft and chewy.
We need a full episode con how different ingredients contribute or denies a property of the final result. Like how adding molasses help to the spread. Please 🙏 As usual, much love.
This might be weird, but one of my favorite things about these is her initial descriptions of what she’s making. I’m gluten free (not by choice) and I’ve never had and will never get to have a lot of these things. But I can live vicariously with her excellent descriptions! Also her figuring out how they are made could be a jumping off point to recreating them but gluten free.❤
i feel like if you had the time to let your cookies sit in a plastic bag to sort of redistribute all the moisture evenly, yours would be as soft as theirs. i always do this whenever i want an impossibly soft cookie like that!
I have started baking a lot more lately but I’m still quite a beginner and watching this video and all the trial and error was actually so incredibly educational and helpful!
I love that you made these. These oatmeal cookies are my favorite of all the Little Debbie snacks so seeing a "healthier" version really has made my day.
I wonder if a dark raisin would have helped with the color in the batch with the cracks in them. Either way these look like they came out great. Claire you always do great recipes and I really enjoy your content, thank you!
These look like the idea you have in your head of what you want oatmeal creme pies to taste like and the texture you want them to have, like the platonic ideal or idealized nostalgia memory of oatmeal creme pies, they look incredible
Omg!! I requested this on the cosmic brownie episode a couple weeks ago. Im sure my comment had 0 inspiration towards the video (was probably already filmed and just in editing dock), but Im so glad to see this.
I love how much more I learn from this series! So glad you added another's taste reaction. 😊 I'm going to make these! Also, CLAIRE! I need to know your thoughts on my favourite treat, butter tarts! imo, with raisins is the only way to go, but folks love pecans, too.
This is one of my favorites of the little debbie sort of americana line, they're all made really simply, and stay horrifyingly soft forever. Absolutely brilliant work every time. As a kid we would smoosh them inside the package to make it easier to ratiom over a long period.
A few months ago, I had a Little Debbie’s oatmeal crème pie, and ever since, I’ve been fixated. I don’t know what it is about them, but I am obsessed! Happy to see this video!
Gosh the editing in your videos really makes it. The techno music was unexpected and awesome, and made perfect sense for the hurried and fragile cooking process of the sugar. I love your videos!!!
When I was a child, I loved the Hostess brand hand pies. I don't know if they still make them, and if they do, I'm sure they're not as good as before. There was something very satisfying about holding a piece of pie in your hands and eating it. They came in a variety of flavours, but the French apple version with raisins was the best.
My lunch every day in middle school was a pb&j, Hawaiian Punch, raisins and a Little Debbie Oatmeal Cookie. While I enjoy watching these videos, this is the first time I’ve felt compelled to actually try a recipe.
Are you in the xennial range? lol I say that because that happened to be what me and my friends had for our lunch and my older cousins did not have this and my younger siblings did not have this lunch. 😂
Im not sure i agree! Maybe its been too long since i had one, but i do remember a subtly marshmellow flavor/texture. Reminds me a lot of marshmellow fluff
28:20 Harris is right, that's the only way to eat oatmeal creme pies - around the cookie to eat the edges first saving the middle part, the best part, for last
Omg I was just watching old gourmet makes and wishing there were new ones! What a great surprise that it lives on!!!! Yay to the same format too. I love the part where you read the ingredients for some reason.
I'd love a mini-series where you're actually making some of the base ingredients for bigger recipes. Instead of making a Pumpkin Pie, you could show us how to make the Sweetened Condensed Milk or with cheesecake, show us how to make graham crackers or Cream Cheese from scratch. The segment could be called something along the lines of Base Building
I would love to see her take on the Lil Debbie Swiss Rolls! They were my favorite school lunch treat- I had a specific method for eating them and I KNOW Claire would make them so much better!
I love Little Debbie EVERYTHING! Oatmeal Creme Pies are near the top of my list. Thank you so much for sharing this. It's fascinating watching your creative process and seeing the wheels turning in your brain as you figure things out. Other videos showing "copycat" recipes don't show the process, just the end result. I love seeing you figure it out. My absolute favorite Little Debbie cake is one that's only available during the holidays - Cherry Cordial Cakes. That's one I'd like to see a copycat recipe for - soft yellow cookie/cake, filled with cherry cream, and covered in dark chocolate. They're divine.
Of all the Recreates so far this is the one where I knew best the original, and seeing this has made me want to follow along and recreate it! Claire's made it simple and the final product looks so great! Love to try this!
Claire, I have an urgent request: I went to France this summer (for the first time!) and I am now in dire need of a chaussons aux pommes recipe. I felt so in-the-know about French pastry from having watched your videos for years and many of the things I tried were specifically because of your videos (Canelés! Parisian flan!), and now I'm even more excited to bake them at home. I had some delicious bites on the trip but I literally got a chausson aux pommes at every single bakery I visited. Now I just need a Claire-approved recipe for them to make for myself!
This would explain how I were so easily capable of eating an entire box well into my adulthood; they were oatmeal raisin cookies the entire time, my absolute favorite cookie of ALL TIME!
Instant sub!!! One thing I hate about cooking shows is everything is “Oh man, that’s delicious! It’s perfect!” Nobody bats 1000 - love seeing you trying to figure it out.
PUH LEASEEEEE recreate Archway’s frosted lemon cookie!!! 😭 I loved this episode. Oatmeal cream pies have always been one of my favorite snack cakes. I actually learned to make my own a couple years ago. They’re a hit for family gatherings 😅 Can’t ever make enough. I’m excited to try your recipe out!
If you're seeing this, what's your favorite dessert?
Hostess Fruit Pie 😊
Would love to see your take on Circus Peanuts! Most people don't like them (not me. I love them), so I challenge you to make them better!
That’s hard, i got to many, but I love macrons!!!
Betweeen sweet potato pie and cheesecake
Opera Cakes and affogatos will always have me in a chokehold
Ever since you’ve been doing these recreations I’ve always wondered if you could do an episode explaining what each of the crazy additives are and what they do…they aren’t all preservatives so what role do they play? Ask Claire
Thats actually a great question, especially because I’m from the UK and Americans seem to have way more additives in their food than European food. I want to know what exactly each ingredient adds and why.
@@Ashagagalin the EU (maybe UK too) many additives aren’t named in ingredient lists but given E numbers.
Better yet, she could have a food scientist on to ask about them and Claire could think of conventional ingredients she uses for similar effects.
@@lemonz1769 yeah thats a great idea as well
Google is amazing
This version of the show feels like an actual gourmet version of the factory produced foods are being made, I love it. I'd like to see the crews reactions to the food too!

You would like this season of hermit craft, season 10. Everyone was a little tired of building massive things with crazy themes. After try to top each and every past season it seems like all the hermits wanted to top themselves rather than the builds they usually do. I would recommend Mumbo or impulse or grian or scar. They each took on a different style of video and pacing. Especially mumbo going from being a good builder to one of the greats!
That would be interesting to get her take on it since she remakes so many things
There is a saying often attributed to Ted Kennedy, but I think it is older: ‘Perfect is the enemy of the good’.
I worked in the factory on that line, it's a batter. The reason why you don't see whole oats is when the cookies are damaged while packaging is that they are ground up and put back in the batter. If you get a really sticky one, it has alot of "chops" material in it.
Oooh, insider information. How thick is the batter? Like pancake batter?
@@MilkyWhite1doubt it
@MilkyWhite1 It is absolutely true! I don't know anyone who has worked for McKee bakery who will eat an Oatmeal Cream Pie. It's "rework".
We grind our oats to make oatmeal cookies, you can even turn it into a powder.
Kit kats are made the same way. The filing is other kit kats @aqlakejee6918
i love that this episode has a lot more trial and error and testing! it really gives a great insight to how the science in baking works, and of course, shows how smart claire is in problem solving
My favorite part! She has helped me learned how to fix problems by watching all her problem solving. Such a wealth of knowledge!
Cooking is chemistry and chemistry is science so Claire is a scientist. 😊
that's what I liked about the original gourmet makes
I really love that in this series, Claire is not under pressure. She recreates at her own pace and how she wants it done. 😊 Also, love the little segments in the clip of the cats and the little jolly song that plays whenever they appear. 😁❤
My kids loved Nutrigrain bars when they were little and I tried to make my own and failed spectacularly lol. Would love to see Claire succeed.
YES this ^
I used to love them. Stopped eating them years ago when the fruit filling got reduced to a fruit smear. Love how dense they are. Would love to see Claire make them.
I third this suggestion!!
Oooh, this reminds me of fig newtons that I liked as a kid. Would love to see claire remake fig newtons as well.
I hope she does it with fancy figs lol
Nutty Buddies (Formerly known as Nutty Bars) would be pretty challenging because of the textured wafers. I'd love to see how Claire Macgyvers her way through that.
This version of recreates is so much less stressful. I’m here for the fun, casual home experiments 💖
I agree. It's very nice to sit back and watch something fun and casual.
There’s exactly the right amount of Claire rolling her eyes and being exasperated for it to be fun and silly instead of weirdly intense.
kind of ironic and a little unfortunate that the other one is the one that gets to be called gourmet; it certainly devolved into a recreation of products by the end
@@luvrvision it’s still a heightened version stfu
A house in the country full of cats and constant smells of yummy things cooking and baking? Sounds like heaven to me!
THE BEST UA-cam SERIES EVER
Was just going to post this
This and hot ones. Lol
I've always said that Claire needs to be on Hot Ones.
I grew up always thinking that baking has to be very exact but Claire shows that it's amazing how much intuition you can gain from being a skilled baker
I'd love to see you make the little animal cookies with pink icing!
YES! The brand was Mother’s. I don’t know if it still is. They also used to make a white icing cookie with raisins. I don’t think they do anymore but it was my favorite.
They're still mothers brand!! @@zimnizzle
As someone who worked on the LD line that made oatmeal creme pies, you did a great job!
Did I mean to watch this video? No. Do I like Little Debbie's? Also no. Did I watch this whole video through because I was so invested? Absolutely, and the cookie looked amazing.
Oh she's great at this stuff! I've learned so much because of her knowledge in recipe testing. I can intuitively address issues much better in my own kitchen now.
You should watch her other Claire Recreates episodes!
Hard same.
😆🤣...PRICELESS
I would LOVE to see you recreate Little Debbie's Star Crunch! It's not as popular as the other Little Debbie classics, but it was famous in my household growing up! My grandma always had these in her purse when she visited and it was a special grandma treat when she came over.
Yes!! Star crunch is an all-time for me!
And those had raisins in them too.
My favorite!

Ew.
@@macaoron wait this is such a smart comment im pretty sure this is exactly why theres raisin paste in it

I love seeing the liberty taken to add the warm spices to improve it!! Personally, don't stress it it doesn't look exactly like the OG... you are doing amazing! One of my favorite channels!
the way that claire is so much happier and relaxed in recent videos makes my heart happy:)
I feel that it's so amazing how Claire can tweak recipes so expertly to do exactly what she wants. That takes so much knowledge and experience of being a recipe developer.
I would LOVE to see a Claire Re-creates Biscoff cookie!!! 🤤😋
Yes yes yes. The recipe i found is a PIA and I’m just going with buying them to keep it simple 😂
There’s an episode of America’s test kitchen that does.
Genuinely one of my absolute favorite cooking/baking shows/segments ever. Claire makes such quality content across the board but these recreation videos are not only great entertainment but such a great informative journey she gives us!!! So comforting, entertaining, and learn so much everytime. Thanks for all you do Claire and team!

Skippy bars with a layer of Nutella on it is the adult version of nutty bars. Just recently disappointed myself with the og. They have changed.
yes!!!! nutty bars would be such a good episode they were my favorite as a kid
I saw a homemade recipe lately that used motza it looked pretty easy actually
I really enjoy that Claire & Team is having this sub-series be about actually making classic treats at home. …In contrast to GM which to me was more about showing it *could* be done at home (regardless of physical or mental cost); but never actually in a way that you should/would do it at home. …Basically im saying this is much better. 😊
You have to let them sit to soften.
Right off the production line, oatmeal creampies are firm. They soften in the packaging over time.
Yes! I have a homemade version that I make at my job and I assemble them one day to sit, covered, until the next day when they're served and they're perfectly soft and chewy.
No they're not.
I was thinking the same
One day to soften would do wonders :)
right, it would pull all the moisture from the filling
We need a full episode con how different ingredients contribute or denies a property of the final result. Like how adding molasses help to the spread. Please 🙏 As usual, much love.

This might be weird, but one of my favorite things about these is her initial descriptions of what she’s making. I’m gluten free (not by choice) and I’ve never had and will never get to have a lot of these things. But I can live vicariously with her excellent descriptions! Also her figuring out how they are made could be a jumping off point to recreating them but gluten free.❤
I’m gluten free as well and want to recreate this recipe
I've never been more excited for Claire to make something. These are my absolute favorite :)
These were the only decent tasting ones to me, out of all the lunch snack treats
Claire thinking and talking through these re-creation videos is my fave! I'm going savory with my suggestion... Olive Garden Garlic Bread baby!
Oooh, that would be amazing
Some people love the reading ingredients part but my favorite part is when you get out the graph paper and ruler and start writing down measurements!
please make honeybuns next! i've never seen homemade honeybuns, only prepackaged. they're so underrated!!!
i feel like if you had the time to let your cookies sit in a plastic bag to sort of redistribute all the moisture evenly, yours would be as soft as theirs. i always do this whenever i want an impossibly soft cookie like that!
How long do you let it sit for?
loooove this series! I’d love to see claire recreate hostess cupcakes!
You're right that Raisin paste is a curve ball, but when I thought about it, Oatmeal Rasin is like THE cookie combo, so it does make sense.
kids might not want to eat raisins so it's pretty smart to keep the combo without turning anyone away.
I love how Cal chimed in with the silpat vs. parchment tip like a pro xD Pretty sure Vinny and Cal can call themselves chefs-by-proxy now 💅🏽😅
My favorite dessert is generally season dependent, but I'm always up for a good lemon meringue pie 🍋🥧
You brought this back 🥹🥹🥹
Literal late nights with bon appetit, these recreates kept me going. THANK YOU we literally love you
10/10, Oatmeal Creme Pies are a top tier snack
Your homemade ones coming out more consistent and uniform than the ones made in a literal factory is incredible
The Little Debbie vanilla Christmas tree cakes are iconic and would love to see you make them!
These and Fudge Rounds have always been my favorite Little Debbie treats.
They are soooo good!
I would LOVE to see her do fudge rounds!
@@ksmith96 Fudge Rounds that actually taste like chocolate. 😄
@@MrJackLord // Oooooooohhhh!! Oh yeah. 😋😋😋😋

I have started baking a lot more lately but I’m still quite a beginner and watching this video and all the trial and error was actually so incredibly educational and helpful!
This is so nostalgic for me. Oatmeal Pies were my grandpa's favorite, and I used to always eat them when we visited.
Claire, you have to try the Chocolate Moon Pie. It’s got everything, chocolate, graham, marshmallowy deliciousness.
The banana moon pie is better!
@ let’s agree that strawberry is the worst 🤣
I love the concept of developing and trying out cookie recipes but the actual process is so daunting to me
THEY WERE SECRETLY OATMEAL RAISIN THE ENTIRE TIME????
They have the same pull as a subway oatmeal raisin cookie
F
IT WAS NEVER A SECRET WTF!!!!!!!!! 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
I really enjoy the trial and error of this series, especially when you describe how different ingredients/quantities effect the final outcome
I love that you made these. These oatmeal cookies are my favorite of all the Little Debbie snacks so seeing a "healthier" version really has made my day.
I couldn't be happier for this video omg, I loved oatmeal cream pies growing up!
I LOVE YOU CALIRE THANK YOU FOR BRING THIS SERIES BACK
I wonder if a dark raisin would have helped with the color in the batch with the cracks in them. Either way these look like they came out great. Claire you always do great recipes and I really enjoy your content, thank you!
I miss this so much! Thank you for bringing back your idea of remaking name brand items at home. You should make that into a book!
the picture in picture segments are great editing choice. getting to see first impressions without dragging it on
These look like the idea you have in your head of what you want oatmeal creme pies to taste like and the texture you want them to have, like the platonic ideal or idealized nostalgia memory of oatmeal creme pies, they look incredible
Omg!! I requested this on the cosmic brownie episode a couple weeks ago.
Im sure my comment had 0 inspiration towards the video (was probably already filmed and just in editing dock), but Im so glad to see this.
Man everytime around this season I still watch the thanksgiving series with you and all of the OG crew. Miss those days

I miss the old dynamic with everyone in bon apatite but thank god I still have your channel to enjoy watching your creative process.
Ahh! Just commented on another video a few days ago about her making these. She’s always five steps ahead. 😊
You really seem to be enjoying doing these re-creation videos. I'm loving watching them! Looking forward to the next one!
Please recreate DQ’s ice cream cake - specifically so I know how to make that ooey gooey caramel-fudge layer with the Oreo crumble!! Thanks Claire!!

@@michellepascua60691979! LOL
I'm normally not one to question Claire's judgement... but the cream in an Oatmeal cream Pie is definitely not marshmallow O.o
I said the same things it’s definitely buttercream frosting
Buttercream has too much flavor...
essentially aerated crisco and corn syrup. But yummy
I came searching for this. It’s a buttercream for sure!!
Im not sure i agree! Maybe its been too long since i had one, but i do remember a subtly marshmellow flavor/texture. Reminds me a lot of marshmellow fluff
I feel that they’ve really got into their stride now with this series. It’s so much more slick and pulled together. Love it
28:20 Harris is right, that's the only way to eat oatmeal creme pies - around the cookie to eat the edges first saving the middle part, the best part, for last

I just wanted to say that I'm loving this series so much. Very entertaining and I love the relaxing vibe.
But does it give the most intense heartburn I've ever experienced? Thats the little debby oatmeal creme pie experience.

I would say that halving the regular flour with rice flour would give that extra softness. Loved the video and your process!! ❤❤❤❤
PUH LEASEEEEE recreate Archway’s frosted lemon cookie!!! 😭 I loved this episode. Oatmeal cream pies have always been one of my favorite snack cakes. I actually learned to make my own a couple years ago. They’re a hit for family gatherings 😅 Can’t ever make enough. I’m excited to try your recipe out!
