Time 34m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

4 ounces unsalted butter, softened
3 3/4 ounces brown sugar
1 3/4 ounces granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
mashed banana
2 large eggs
8 1/2 ounces king arthur whole wheat flour (white wheat or traditional)
1 teaspoon baking soda
9 ounces chocolate chips
3 ounces chopped walnuts
4 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
12 ounces confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 -2 tablespoon milk, as needed
3 ounces chopped walnuts (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F Lightly grease two baking sheets, or line with parchment paper.
  • 1. For the cookies: In a large bowl, cream together the butter, sugars, and salt until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla, and then the bananas.
  • 2. The mixture will look curdled; that's OK. Beat in the eggs, one at a time.
  • 3. Whisk together the flour and baking soda; add to the banana mixture, mixing until evenly combined. Scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl, then mix for 1 minute more.
  • 4. Stir in the chips and walnuts.
  • 5. Scoop the dough by the quarter cup for large cookies, and by the tablespoon for small cookies. Allow plenty of space between them.
  • 6. Bake for 12 to 14 minutes, until the tops spring back when lightly touched with your finger, and the edges are a very light golden brown. Remove from the oven and cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring the cookies to a rack to finish cooling completely before filling.
  • 7. For the filling: Beat together the cream cheese, confectioners' sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Add just enough milk to make the mixture a spreadable consistency. Stir in the walnuts.
  • 8. To assemble: Spread the bottom of one of the cookies with 2 tablespoons of the filling. Place another cookie on top of the filling, bottom side down.

Right out of the Martha Stewart September Living magazine. Couldn't wait to try these and they did not disappoint. Much easier then they sound. I myself used dark brown sugar is that is what I had and I misread the recipe using the entire teaspoon vanilla in the batter then adding the extra in the filling. Came out wonderful.

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas. The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your whoopie pies will be.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the batter, making your whoopie pies light and airy.
  • Gradually add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help to prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Be careful not to overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the whoopie pies tough and chewy.
  • Bake the whoopie pies until they are just set. Overbaking can make them dry and crumbly.
  • Let the whoopie pies cool completely before filling them. This will help to prevent the filling from making the whoopie pies soggy.
  • Use a variety of fillings. You can use anything from classic vanilla buttercream to chocolate ganache or fruit preserves.
  • Get creative with your decorations. You can sprinkle the whoopie pies with powdered sugar, cocoa powder, or chopped nuts.

Conclusion:

Banana whoopie pies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. With their soft and fluffy texture and sweet and flavorful filling, they're sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
