Banana Almond Whoopie Pies
Description
This recipe produces banana-flavored almond cookies that are soft and moist, thanks to the mashed ripe bananas and almond meal base. The inclusion of baking soda and spices adds subtle lift and aromatic warmth to the batter. Baking these spoonfuls on parchment creates evenly sized, golden cookies.
The filling is a creamy blend of softened cream cheese and powdered sugar, whipped smooth to a spreadable consistency. Piping the frosting onto one cookie half before sandwiching another creates classic whoopie pies with balanced sweet and tangy notes. Refrigerating the pies prior to serving keeps the filling firm and prevents the cookies from becoming soggy.
These whoopie pies serve well as a sweet snack or dessert. Their portability and portion size make them convenient for sharing or packed lunches. Storing them chilled preserves the texture and flavors best.
Ingredients
- 4 banana ripe
- 4 egg large
- 3 cups almond meal flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice optional
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 12 oz cream cheese softened
- 2 cups powdered sugar
Instructions
- Gather all the ingredients for the cookies.
- Mash the bananas in a medium bowl and set them aside.
- Whisk the eggs in a large bowl. Fold the dry ingredients and vanilla into the eggs and stir to combine.
- Fold the mashed bananas and vanilla extract into the batter and stir to combine.
- Place about 30, similar-sized spoonfuls of batter onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring there are a few inches of space in between each. Bake at 350°F for 13 minutes or until the cookies turn golden brown.
- Using a stand mixer or hand mixer, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth.
- Pipe the frosting onto one of the cookie halves and sandwich it with another one. Repeat until you run out of cookies. Store the whoopie pies in the refrigerator until you're ready to serve (avoid using an airtight container or they will turn soggy). Enjoy!
