Banana Pudding Whoopie Pies
Recipe
-
Prep Time: 15 min
- 277 grams granulated sugar (about 1 1/3 cup)
- 1 stick butter, softened
- 2 large eggs, room temp
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 160 ml cup milk, (about 2/3 cup) room temp
- 59 ml vegetable oil
- 59 ml sour cream (about 4 tbsp), room temp
- 257 grams all-purpose flour (about 2 cups spooned and leveled)
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 3/4 cup instant banana pudding
- 1 cup cool whip or homemade whipped cream
- Homemade caramel sauce or store bought caramel
- 1-2 sliced bananas
- Mini vanilla wafers
- (If you dont have a kitchen scale) When measuring your flour, be sure not to scoop your measuring cup into the flour (that is too much flour!) You want to spoon your flour into your measuring cup (spoonful by spoonful) until the cup is full. Then use a knife to scrape off the top, excess flour. This tip will ensure that you are not using too much flour in your recipes.
- When mixing the batter for the cakes, it is important to know that you should NOT overmix. Overmixing can lead to dry and tough cake. While it may be tempting to smooth out every single lump, don’t. Mix the batter until all dry ingredients are no longer visible, then put the spatula down :-D.
- Letting the whoopie batter rest before baking is another critical component! This step helps activate the baking powder and soda, which ultimately leads to a tall, tender and fluffy whoopie pie cake!
- Try not to overfill the silicon molds. Because we are using baking powder and baking soda, the cakes will expand as they bake, so we want to give them room to grow as they bake!
- If the ingredient is listed as *room temp* really strive for room temperature. It’s critical because, you don’t want a lumpy frosting. Room temperature ingredients also help with an even bake.

What to do
1. For the pudding filling, mix pudding according to packaged instructions. Once pudding is set, fold in cool whip or whipped cream. Set in the fridge to chill.
2. In a large bowl, use a handheld mixer or whisk mix softened butter, oil and sugar. Add eggs and vanilla. Mix well. Sift all dry ingredients in a separate medium bowl. Mix them gently with a fork or whisk. In a medium bowl, mix milk and sour cream together. Alternate pouring the milk mix and dry ingredients into the butter and sugar mixture. Mix everything by hand with a whisk until you can no longer see any streaks of flour. DO NOT OVERMIX (*see note below). Cover the batter and let it rest for about 30 minutes (*see note below) while you preheat oven to 350 degrees.
3. Using baking or cooking spray, grease whoopie pie molds. Pour batter into molds, about 2/3 of the way full. This batter yields about 6 pies (12 cakes).
4.Bake for about 10-11 minutes, or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean. These cakes can bake fast, so don’t venture too far from the oven while they bake. Let pies cool for about 20-30 minutes (make sure they are completely cool before attempting removal from the molds). When pies are cool, push them out of the silicon mold. Note: I push from the bottom up, slowly work my way in circle GENTLY and push the sides up. Once you have remove the pies, set them on parchment paper. These cakes are very tender, and can stick to some surfaces.
5. While the pies cool, slice the bananas about 1/2 inch thick. Remove pudding mix from fridge and either spoon or pipe a generous amount onto half of the sponge cakes (*note you can stuff a ziplock bag with the pudding mix and trim the tip with scissors, and that subs as a homemade piping bag). Then add 3-4 slices of bananas, top with a little caramel sauce. Then place the remaining sponges on top of the pudding creating a sandwich.
6. Top each pie with some whipped cream, a slice of banana, more caramel and nilla wafers. Enjoy immediately or store in fridge until ready to eat. Pies should sit at room temperature for about 15-20 minutes before enjoying. Store in fridge for up to 2 days.
