Pint Size Pie

September 15th, 2009

I had never heard of Whoopie Pies before I saw a sweet little line of them in Magnolia Bakery this past weekend.  Ever since I passed on the sandwiched little cakes, I’ve been wanting to make a batch of my own with a seasonal spin.  I referred to Martha Stewart, who not only provided an easy-to-follow recipe (here), but one that included pumpkin (something I add to just about everything in fall).  They turned out light and fluffy with a decadently creamy filling and their petite size makes them a welcomed alternative to pumpkin pie.

    Those are adorable. Anything bite size makes it that much yummier.

    Pumpkin is the best during fall. These almost look like mini cheeseburgers! I have been having such a sweet tooth lately. Prob, from this stupid paleo diet I am on. ;) Looks yummy!

    A girl after my own heart: equally loves fashion and food. A serious question though: do you have a steady workout or do you have the world’s fastest metabolism? I’m sure your readers would love to know!

    This is exciting! I’m from a small Pennsylvania town where everyone knows what a whoopie pie is (and not too many appreciate great fashion, other than me)! Usually they are chocolate with marshmallow or cupcake-icing-type filling. Peanut butter filling is pretty popular too, but if you like pumpkin you could switch up your recipe. At a farmer’s market I go to, lots of stands sell regular chocolate whoopie pies and also pumpkin whoopies. They are made with pumpkin cakes and cream cheese frosting. They are my favorite and I’m craving one now!
    P.S. My mom makes zuchinni whoopie pies in summer when we have so many extra in our garden. Also very delicious and they freeze really well so we have them all year!
    P.P. S. I’ve been a fan of you blog for awhile. Love it!

    those look absolutely divine. i too love pumpkin in the fall. i usually get in through starbuck’s pumpkin spice latte though, or in the form of pumpkin cookies at the grocery store. this whoopies would definitely be a welcome and fancier looking change.

    I agree with Kendall! Would you mind posting the link to the recipe? I made my mom’s pumpkin muffins this past week, and not only were they positively delicious, I’ve been obsessed with pumpkin ever since. You can check out the recipe on my blog. :)

    I am always trying to find gluten free treats and substituted an all purpose gluten free flour and these turned out absolutely amazing! Possibly the best and easiest gluten free cookie I’ve ever tasted or made! I know it’s a year later, but I just had to share for anyone else with a gluten allergy.

I discovered it about a month ago and I’m simply in love with your posts, because of you I’m inspired to redecorate my whole house… This may sound weird but my life is different because of you.
