Banana Whoopie Pies

"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."

  1. These are very good. Moist, soft, bananaie, yum! What I have always wanted, but could never find. I didn't fill with the cream cheese filling, instead I made 7 minute frosting for the marshmallow flavor.
     
  2. Delicious! I made these whoopie pies, but instead of the cream cheese filling, I used a family favorite, whipped peanut butter filling. It was AMAZING! The mix of the peanut butter and the bananas was just perfect! It really put this over the top!
     
  3. I used this recipe for my whoopie pie maker. Took about 2 min. per batch. I used chocolate buttercream to fill. Moist and yummy, yum, yum.
