BANANA WHOOPIE PIES
I always seem to have leftover bananas, and I usually make banana bread, in different variatons. These whoopie pies, or gobs, are another great thing to make with overripe bananas. This recipe is adapted from Baking Bites.

Steps:
- Preheat oven 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Make the cookies: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light. Beat in egg and vegetable oil, followed by vanilla and mashed banana.
- Add flour mixture and stir until just incorporated.
- Drop 1 1/2-inch balls (I do a heaping cookie scoop worth) and bake for 12 to 14 minutes, or until cookies are lightly browned around the edges and set in the center.
- Remove to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Make the filling: In a medium bowl, beat together cream cheese and butter until smooth.
- Blend in vanilla and confectioners' sugar until mixture is smooth and thick.
- Add additional confectioners' sugar if mixture seems runny.
- Wrap cookies individually in plastic wrap, and store in the refrigerator.
