I think it’s official—whoopie pies are the new cupcakes. They’re everywhere! Bakerella featured them last week, there’s a new cookbook devoted to entirely whoopie pie recipes, and a quick Google search yielded more than 172,000 results. I used a couple of those to create Banana Whoopie Pies with Nutella Cream Cheese Filling for Tom’s birthday.
For the cake portion, I used a Martha Stewart recipe. This made bite-sized pies—I piped the mixture into 1.5 inch circles marked on parchment. I added a smidge more flour than the recipe called for to ensure they stood nice and tall.
