Method
 

Preparing the Cookies
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 1-minute oats, bread flour, baking powder, cornstarch, salt, and ground cinnamon.
  3. Beat together light brown sugar and vegetable shortening (or butter) on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
  4. Add in the mashed banana, light corn syrup, and vanilla extract, mixing on low speed until well combined.
  5. Gradually add the mixed dry ingredients to the wet banana mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined.
  6. Using a medium cookie scoop, portion the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, flattening each ball slightly.
  7. Bake for 6-7 minutes until the cookies appear soft in the center but set at the edges.
  8. Let them cool on the baking sheets for 1-2 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Preparing the Filling and Assembling
  1. Cream together the cream cheese and unsalted butter until smooth and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  2. Gradually add powdered sugar, blending on low until fully incorporated, then pour in heavy cream and vanilla extract, beating until light and fluffy.
  3. Pipe or spread a dollop of the cream cheese filling on the bottom side of half the cooled cookies and top with the remaining cookies.
  4. Allow the assembled Banana Oatmeal Cream Pies to set for a few minutes before serving.
