Ingredients:
For the whoopie pies:
-
1 cup canned pumpkin puree
-
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
-
1/4 cup granulated sugar
-
1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
-
1 large egg
-
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
-
1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
-
1 teaspoon baking powder
-
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
-
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
-
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
-
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
-
1/4 teaspoon salt
For the filling:
-
1/2 cup fat-free Greek yogurt
-
2 tablespoons powdered sugar
-
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine the canned pumpkin puree, unsweetened applesauce, granulated sugar, brown sugar, egg, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground cloves, and salt.
-
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
-
Drop spoonfuls of the batter onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Use the back of the spoon to gently spread the batter into round shapes, as these will be the tops and bottoms of the whoopie pies.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the whoopie pies are set and lightly golden brown around the edges. Remove from the oven and let cool completely on the baking sheets.
-
While the whoopie pies are cooling, prepare the filling. In a small mixing bowl, combine the fat-free Greek yogurt, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy.
-
Once the whoopie pies are completely cool, spread a dollop of the filling onto the flat side of half of the whoopie pies. Top with the remaining whoopie pies to create sandwiches.
-
Serve immediately, or store the whoopie pies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
-
