CARROT CAKE OATMEAL WHOOPIE PIES, WITH PINEAPPLE CREAM CHEESE FILLING RECIPE - (4.4/5)



Carrot Cake Oatmeal Whoopie Pies, With Pineapple Cream Cheese filling Recipe - (4.4/5) image

Provided by Foodiewife

Number Of Ingredients 24

For the whoopies pies:
1-1/2 cups brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
1-1/2 sticks unsalted butter, room temperature (3/4 cup)
2 large eggs, room temperature
1 tsp vanilla extract
2-1/2 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp coarse salt (or 1/2 tsp table salt)
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
1/2 tsp ground ginger
2 cups quick cooking oats
1-1/2 cups grated carrots (about 2 carrots)**
1-1/4 cups golden raisins (optional)
NOTE: **You could leave out the carrots, and these would simply be Oatmeal Whoopie Pies
For the filling:
3 cups confectioners' sugar
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
4 oz. cream cheese
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3 Tablespoons pineapple jam (optional)
1/4 sweetened coconut, toasted at 325F for about 10 minutes and cooled (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or a Silpat baking mat. (I used a Norpro Muffin Top baking pan, but this isn't mandatory.) In the bowl of a stand mixer, with the paddle attachment (or a hand held mixer), combine the sugars and butter. Beat until fluffy--about 3 to 4 minutes. Add the vanilla and eggs, and beat until well combined. In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger and whisk together. Slowly add the flour mixture to the butter mixture; mix on low speed until just combined. Stir in the oats, carrots and raisins with a spatula. Using a medium ice cream scoop, scoop dough onto the prepared sheets, leaving at least 2 inches between cookies. Gently press the cookies until flat. Bake between 12-15 minutes, turning halfway through to ensure even baking. They should be lightly golden brown around the edges. NOTE: These make 8 HUGE whoopie pies, so user a smaller scoop to make smaller whoopie pies. Reduce the baking time between 10-12 minutes each. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. To make the frosting: In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat butter until smooth. Add cream cheese and beat until well combined. Add confectioners' sugar and vanilla, beat just until smooth. (Filling can be made up to a day in advance. Cover and refrigerate; let stand at room temperature to soften before using.) To assemble the whoopie pies, turn one cookie with the baked bottom facing up. Scoop some filling, and gently press another cookie on top. Wrap in plastic wrap. Keep whoopie pies refrigerated, and bring to room temperature about 30 minutes before eating. Stores for up to 5 days, refrigerated.

COCONUT WHOOPIE PIES

Provided by Erin Jeanne McDowell

Categories     dessert

Time 55m

Yield 8 whoopie pies

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 cup packed light-brown sugar
2 large eggs, at room temperature
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon coconut extract, optional
2 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking power
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
3/4 cup buttermilk, at room temperature
1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
4 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 3/4 cups confectioners' sugar
1 cup marshmallow creme
Sweetened shredded coconut, for finishing, optional

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment.
  • For the coconut cakes: In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter and brown sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, scraping the bowl and beating well after each addition. Beat in the vanilla extract and coconut extract if using.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt. Add about half the flour mixture to the mixer bowl and mix on low speed to combine. Scrape the bowl well with a rubber spatula. With the mixer on low speed, add the buttermilk in a slow, steady stream and mix until incorporated. Add the remaining flour and mix on low speed to combine. Scrape the bowl well, then mix in the coconut on low speed.
  • Use a 1/4-cup (2-ounce) scoop to scoop mounds of batter onto the prepared baking sheets, staggering the cakes and leaving at least 2 inches of space between each. (You should have 16 scoops.) Bake until the cakes are lightly golden around the edges and the centers spring back when gently touched, 18 to 20 minutes. Cool completely on the baking sheets.
  • For the filling and assembly: In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the cream cheese, butter and confectioners' sugar until light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the marshmallow creme and mix to combine. Transfer the mixture to a piping bag and cut a 1/2-inch opening at the tip.
  • Flip over 8 cakes and pipe filling onto them, stopping about 1/2 inch from the edges. Sprinkle a little coconut on top of the filling if desired. Top each with one of the remaining cakes, pressing gently so the filling reaches the outside edges. Refrigerate for 15 to 30 minutes to allow the filling to set.
  • Serve immediately or store the whoopie pies in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
