I made my first batch of Whoopie Pies last night.
Well I say first batch I did try and make a batch at the weekend (the egg free variety) and even though they were absolutely delicious they were also very flat and sticky - I have been assured sticky whoopies (in the pie variety!!) are the norm - though not very photogenic.
So last night I changed tactic and tried an oat whoopie hoping they would be a little less sticky and a lot more tactile - and they were 'whoopie!!'
Now if you're wondering what I wittering on about 'whoopie really, has she gone completely whoopie mad??' well no, whoopies are like little flattish cakey things which are sandwiched together with an out of this world whipped filling - not to be mistaken with macarons, because for me that just feels like too much hard work.
Honestly though 'whoopies' are fabulous darling!
I've had this book on order for an absolute age, ever since I first read about it over at Angry Chicken back in the land of......ages ago. Anyhow, it finally arrived last Friday and now the Tabiboo's have gone completely and utterly whoopie mad.
So OK I could of done an internet search for a whoopie recipe and 'yes' there are other books I probably could of ordered / borrowed, but to be honest - I'm a bit lazy in that department!!
Though if 'unlike' me you are not lazy (in that department) then get searching because these little babies are absolutely worth it 'oh yes' deliciousness in every mouthful - mmmmmmmm, mmmmmmmmm!
Now all I need to do is locate myself some marshmallow fluff!!
Happy cooking.

These look delicious Nina, I'm not sure I've heard of whoopies before, I thought they were homemade icecream sandwiches from your pics. Be careful with marshmallow fluff, it is dangerously addictive. Consider yourself warned!!!
Yum!!! I've managed not to bake sugary-scrummyness for at least 3 weeks...curses. Am sure I've seen Fluff in Waitrose. They definitely have it in Selfridges but that really is useless unless you happen to be passing.
They look great! It's always nice when you find something new instead of the 'same old, same old'. Will have to investigate further. Thanks for the tip off!! :)

hee hee! Was so not expecting this when I saw the headline! But then..I doubt you'd have gone into the intricate details of your sex life so I shouldn't have been so saliciously (is that a word?) minded! These look yum! Thanks for sharing - now I know the other meaning for this word! xxx
I had these for the first time about a week ago - good old M and S , gorgeous
all I can say is woop woop woopie! They look yum yum yummy :-)
Those look delicious! And while I have seen and heard of whoopie pies before, I laughed at your post title, because "making whoopie" means something entirely different here in the US!

These look fun - I bet they are messy to eat! have never heard of them before - I can imagine them in Mcdonalds - would sell well!
I saw this book on a recent trip to Shrewsbury and was very tempted - I resisted then but I think you might just have pushed me back over the line - I am off to check out recipes! :D
I've wanted to try these out for a while. Now I can't pu it off any longer. I really hope you're enjoying the start of the holidays. Have a lovely weekend Nina xxx
I was wondering if you would share your oat whoopie with me, I made some oatmeal cream pies last week and they flattened and got really hard after they cooled. Im not sure what I did wrong and now I came across your blog and would love to try these. Thanks in advance!
