With American Thanksgiving at the end of the month, pumpkin whoopie pies are a delicious treat that will leave your guests satisfied.
While pumpkin-flavored anything is pretty much always a crowd favorite, these bite-size desserts take great taste to a whole new level as they're filled with sweet maple syrup cream cheese. To make this delicious baked good, the whoopie pie and the filling must be made separately. For the pie you need flour, cinnamon, baking powder and soda, salt, ginger, nutmeg, sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, canned pumpkin and vegetable oil. When all these ingredients are mixed together they need to be baked for 12 minutes.
The cream cheese filling is made with sugar, cream cheese, maple syrup, vanilla extract and butter. After spreading this delicious mix onto the pies and setting them in the fridge for 30 minutes, they're ready to be indulged.
