Whoopie pies are like eating a cake in the form of a cookie, it’s delicious. What I love about this recipe, is that the cookie is loaded with healthy ingredients. You would hardly feel guilty about eating it.

This recipe will stick around with us. The days our bananas turn brown, we usually make Banana Bread, but now we will have more options.
