Healthy Recipes: Chocolate & Berry Whoopie Pies



 

These tiny treats are great for parties because they're easy to make and easy to eat. Try different fillings to add variety to your whoopie pies such as the berry filling used in this recipe, peanut butter or the traditional cream filling.

 INGREDIENTS:

Cake:

1 1/2 cup All purpose flour

1/3 cup Cocoa powder

3/4 teaspoon Baking soda

1/2 teaspoon Salt

3/4 cup Fat-free buttermilk

3/4 teaspoon Vanilla extract

1/3 cup 1% Cottage Cheese, pureed

1/2 cup Brown Sugar

PREPARATION:

  • Preheat oven to 375° F.

  • Lightly spray cookie sheet with pan spray.

  • Combine dry ingredients: flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt in a medium mixing bowl. Mix.

  • In separate mixing bowl, combine wet ingredients: buttermilk, vanilla extract, brown sugar, cottage cheese and egg. Mix.

  • Slowly add wet mixture into the dry mixture allowing the dry mixture to just absorb the wet mixture. (Do not over mix)

  • Once the mixture has combined (some clumps are fine) place 1/2 ounce scoops of mixture onto a greased cookie sheet.

  • Bake whoopie pies for 11 minutes.
