There is no law that says I can’t bake and share pumpkin treats with all of you in January. I shared this recipe back in October over at Carrie’s blog, Bakeaholic Mama.
Then earlier last week I made these again. I always stock up on pumpkin in the fall, you never know when a shortage might hit! I forgot how delicious these were…so I thought I need to share them with all of you.
You’re welcome.
These are great because you don’t need a special donut pan, whoopie pie pan or anything. I put all the filling in a big gallon sized ziploc bag and snipped off the corner. Then I piped a circle (starting in the center) and swirled it around for my desired size. Try making them all the same size so when you match them up they all have an equal sized partner.
I love all things pumpkin. Don’t believe me? Check out some of my other pumpkin favorites…
Pumpkin Coffee Cake with Cinnamon Streusel: makes two delicious moist coffee cakes
Pumpkin Spice Fudge: Using JELL-O pumpkin spice pudding this fudge is extra creamy!
Pumpkin Cheesecake Cake: two layers of delicious pumpkin cake, a layer of creamy cheesecake and topped with cream cheese frosting!
Pumpkin Spice Biscotti: crunchy biscotti, better than store bought!
Pumpkin Cupcakes with Maple Toffee Frosting: between the moist pumpkin cupcakes and the rich maple buttercream frosting, this is a winner of a recipe!
Ingredients
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup canola oil
- 1 can (15oz) pure pumpkin
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 1/2 cup all purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 Tbsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp ground ginger
- 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp ground cloves
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1 pkg (8oz) cream cheese, softened
- 1/3 cup butter, softened
- 4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3-4 Tbsp heavy cream
- sprinkles
Instructions
- In large mixing bowl, mix all ingredients for whoopie pies until blended. Fill a large ziploc bag. Snip of corner of bag. Pipe circles of filling, using a spiral rotation, onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet (my circles were about 2 1/2 inch). Bake in a 350 degree oven for 12-15 minutes. Remove and cool.
- When completely cooled, make filling. Beat cream cheese and butter for 3 minutes in mixer. Add powdered sugar, cocoa and heavy cream. Beat an additional 3 minutes until fluffy. Add more cream if necessary. Scoop tablespoons of filling onto one whoopie pie and top it with a matching sized cookie. Add sprinkles if desired. ENJOY.

I’ve recently become obsessed with pumpkin and chocolate together. I have yet to bake pumpkin whoopie pies for my website, but made them one time a couple years ago. And we got the recipe from good ole’ martha too.
They look wonderful Aimee! I am a sucker for pumpkin!

I adore chocolate and pumpkin together. It is good to see that pumpkin is acceptable at all time because I made some muffins just a few weeks ago that need shared before next fall

OH goodness! Those whoopie Pies look amazing! I’m a HUGE pumpkin fan, this has been the hardest season not being able to taste all the yummy treats while on this diet.
I’m going to have to save most of the other recipes for when I can try! Thanks for stopping by my blog.

EEEK. Just checked my spam folder and YOU my friend have had all your comments the past two weeks in there. So sorry
I’ve unspammed you. Not sure why that happened (I know Jocelyn had it happen to her before and she had to contact Akismet)!
I also have a cupboard full of canned pumpkin puree and am completely on board the pumpkin all the time train. I love pumpkin and I love these whoopie pies!

I love all things pumpkin too, and always keep pumpkin in the pantry (just in case)! Love these whoopie pies (especially because they don’t require any fancy tools).

You had me at pumpkin – or was it chocolate? I think it was cream cheese actually
I wanted to let you know that I featured this today in my “What I Bookmarked This Week” post – stop by and see.
