Easy Pumpkin Whoopie Pies Recipe

This seasonal spinoff on classic chocolate whoopie pies is one I look forward to making every year. They store beautifully in the fridge making them available to the family for a week, if they last that long. Whoopie pies are also referred to as gobs in different parts of the country. No matter what you call them, it all spells delicious.

How to Make the Best Pumpkin Whoopie Pies Recipe

• Ingredients you'll need to make homemade Pumpkin Whoopie Pies: All purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, pumpkin pie spice, granulated sugar, dark brown sugar, large eggs, vanilla extract and pumpkin puree.
• To make the homemade Cream Cheese Filling you'll need: Softened cream cheese, softened butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract and marshmallow fluff.
• Kitchen gadgets you'll need: Mixing bowls, measuring cups and spoons, a hand mixer or stand mixer, an offset spatula for the filling, a large silicone spatula or spoon plus baking pans.
• I highly recommend using an ice cream scoop to keep the whoopie pies uniform in shape. The most common ice cream scoop we all use is for, well, ice cream. It's a 4 ounce size. The size I recommend for these is a 2 ounce or one that's half that size. You can also use a ¼ cup measuring cup or 2 ½ tablespoons.
• The amount of pumpkin whoopie pies you'll yield depends on how the batter is divided. You can make these larger or smaller depending on how many servings you need. When changing the size, it may also affect the baking time. Do a trial run and bake one, then proceed based on those results.
• Pumpkin pie spice is a blend of cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, allspice and sometimes mace.  It adds a depth of flavor that makes it my number one choice for these beauties. You could substitute using all cinnamon in a pinch.
• These Pumpkin Whoopie Pies will keep for up to one week in an airtight container chilled in the refrigerator. If stacking, place wax paper between. You can also freeze them for up to 1 month.
