On the first day of Christmas,
my true love sent to me
A partridge Whoopee Pie in a pear tree.
Yesterday my family bought our Christmas tree, put up our decorations and stockings and got into the spirit of the holidays. Before becoming a parent, Mr. Bejelly and I would often skip decorations. Heck, there were a couple of years where we would even go without a tree. I know, sad. However, this year our house looks like the Grizwolds just set up camp for their next movie.
To celebrate the Christmas spirit, I’ve joined together with 10 bloggers to share Paleo treat recipes over the next 12 days.
I’m kicking it off with this Dark Chocolate Peppermint Whoopee pie. There is just something about peppermint, chocolate and whipped cream that make me dream of snow covered streets and a warm fire in the hearth. It also makes me think of Santa Claus and the wonder and miracle of the gift of small things.

Those look amazingly good!
Once you added that peppermint, I was hooked for good. Delicious!
These look amazing! One question…did you oil/grease the muffin top pan before pouring in the batter?
The pan is nonstick so no. I know, not the best, but I can’t find a stainless steel muffin top pan.
I don’t have this pan. Would this work as muffins with the whipped coconut topping in the center? Like a minty devils food cupcake kind of thing?
The batter is not airy. It more fudgy so that won’t work. You can use a regular muffin tin and just fill it shallow.
Question: I don’t have a muffin top pan. Can I plop them “cookie-style” on a cookie sheet? Or use a regular muffin pan and fill them shallow?
The batter is pretty runny so I would do a muffin pan 🙂
How wonderful! And, I love that your recipe doesn’t make say a dozen or more. Just enough for a few people to enjoy. Love it!
Yep! I make so many sweets that I don’t need a lot of it hanging around the house 🙂
Did you make any extra? I would love to try one.
These look so good! I only have a mini muffin tray,Do you think I could fill them shallow and make little cookies? like almost smallerthan oreos? WouldI adjust the time/temperature?
Yes that should work perfectly and you can perhaps adjust the time cook time by 2 or 3 minutes. Happy holidays and Happy Eating.
You are a genius, or is it genious-ess? 🙂
I follow Wheat Belly so, in the interest of eliminating even the small sugar exposure from the maple syrup, I used the same measurements of Xyla sweetener.
The whoopie pies are excellent!
Thank you for posting this.
I’m glad you enjoyed it Ron!
