Preheat the oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, vanilla protein powder, almond flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
In a separate bowl, melt the unsalted butter and mix in the honey until well combined. Add the vanilla extract and eggs, and whisk until smooth.
Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients, stirring until you have a thick dough.
Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
While the cookies cool, prepare the filling. In a bowl, beat together the Greek yogurt, softened coconut oil, cream cheese, and powdered sugar until smooth and fluffy.
Once the cookies are completely cool, spread a generous amount of the cream filling onto the flat side of half of the cookies.
Top each with another cookie, pressing gently to form sandwiches. Ensure the filling spreads all the way to the edges.
Chill the oatmeal cream pies in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to set the filling before serving.
