Get the Recipe: Gluten Free Whoopie Pies (Paleo)
These Gluten Free Whoopie Pies are fun and flavorful! Two chocolate cakes are sandwiched together with a homemade "marshmallow creme" filling. This New England classic dessert is great for any occasion!
Ingredients
Whoopie Pies
- 2 ½ cups almond flour
- ⅔ cup cocoa powder
- ½ cup maple sugar, or coconut sugar
- ¾ tsp baking soda
- 2 tbsp coconut oil, melted
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup pure maple syrup
- 2 eggs
Filling
- 2 cans full fat coconut cream, chilled
- ¼ cup pure maple syrup
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- First, make the Whoopie Pies. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine dry ingredients: almond flour, cocoa powder, maple sugar and baking soda. Stir to combine.
- Add in melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, maple syrup and eggs. Stir to combine.
- Use a cookie scoop to scoop balls of dough onto lined baking sheet. Keep several inches between balls of dough to allow room to spread.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until set in the middle. Allow to cool on the pan for 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack to finish cooling.
- To make frosting, combine all frosting ingredients in a stand mixer or KitchenAid. Whip until light and fluffy.
- To assemble, spread frosting on one completely cooled Whoopie pie. Add another pie on the other side, creating a sandwich.
Notes
- Mix Whoopie pie dough until completely mixed.
- Bake until little pies are set in the middle and no longer gooey.
- Cool completely before making frosting.
- Whip frosting until light and fluffy.
- If making ahead of time, I recommend storing the pies and frosting separately until time to eat. Then, assemble.
- Store leftovers in the fridge.
- Use full fat coconut cream from a can. This is typically found in the Asian aisle. I use the brand Thai.
- If desired, loosely packed brown sugar can replace maple sugar.
- This recipe makes around 20 little pies, which are sandwiched together to make 10 Whoopie pies.
