Ok. It’s finally happened. I’ve come over to the pumpkin side.
I tried to fight it. To ignore my inner desire to be immersed in pumpkin and it’s sweet sweet pairing with cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves and nutmeg but the starchy fruit won.
Ok first off, I made these pumpkin whoopie pies way too big. The cookie is filling as heck. You will feel like your stomach will explode if you try to eat one this big in one sitting.
I’ve described how to make them smaller in the recipe. I also froze mine because they make yummy ice cream sandwiches too.
Ingredients
Cookie
- 1/3 cup coconut flour
- 1/3 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons B grade maple syrup
- 1/4 cup water
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin spice
Whipped Topping
- 13.5 oz can of full fat coconut milk place in fridge overnight
- 1 teaspoon B grade maple syrup
- 1 tablespoons pumpkin puree
- 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin spice
Instructions
-
To make the cookie combine all the ingredients in a bowl and mix until you have a smooth batter.
-
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and with a large spoonful , scoop the batter and shape into a 2" wide circle.
-
Bake at 350 degrees for 15 to 18 minutes.
-
Remove and let cool.
-
To make the whipped topping, remove the hardened coconut fat from the can and place this in a bowl with pumpkin puree, pumpkin spice and maple syrup.
-
With a hand mixer beat this until you have a whipped topping.
-
Spoon this between the cookie to make a sandwich.

I can’t wait to try this but I think you have an error in STEP 5, the part about “peppermint flavor”
ops! Fixed it and thanks for catching that Sabrina!
No problem 🙂
Kelly, does this actually make just 6 cookies or 6 “whoopie pies”?
It makes 6 whoopie pies so 12 cookies hun.
Could you use Almond Flour instead? I have a friend that is allergic to coconut flour. Love this recipe.
No, the measurements would be very different so you would have to recreate the recipe entirely.
Have you ever tried these with an egg substitute, like a flax egg or banana? i can’t do any form of egg but these sound amazing!
I haven’t with this recipe but I have had a lot of luck with gelatin eggs Holly
How do you make the gelatin egg?
