Pumpkin Whoopie Pie Recipe

September 5, 2018 By Shannah Coe 2 Comments

This pumpkin whoopie pie recipe is one you will turn to over and over during fall. With a perfect cream cheese whoopie pie filling, it is always a crowd pleaser.

The weather turned cool and crisp today so I dove into fall baking head first. Of course, for me that means pumpkin everything with cream cheese frosting. My favorite item of this baking session: a pumpkin whoopie pie recipe with a cream cheese whoopie pie filling.

Pumpkin Whoopie Pie Recipe

I am not the world’s best baker so I tend to stick with recipes that are pretty easy to make and leave a lot of room for error. Pumpkin whoopie pies are not only easy to make but you can even use a pre-made frosting for the filling if you want to make them even easier.

Before we get too far into the recipe though, a lot of people ask “what is a whoopie pie?” A whoopie pie is a dessert made from two soft cookies that has a creamy filling. For my pumpkin whoopie pies, I use a cream cheese whoopie pie filling instead of the standard vanilla filling.

Even when I use pre-made frosting, I put it into a frosting bag and use a frosting tip to make the piped frosting look “pretty” in between the two whoopie pie halves.

The pumpkin in this whoopie pie recipe comes from a combination of pumpkin pie spice and actual pumpkin puree. It gives these whoopie pies all the flavors of fall and offers a little bit of vegetables too. You can just remind yourself that it has vegetables in it when you eat your second or third.

As I mentioned above, I’ve made these with both pre-made frosting and homemade cream cheese frosting. Here is a great homemade cream cheese frosting recipe if you plan to go that route.

I made pumpkin whoopie pies for a recent bake sale here and they disappeared! Since whoopie pies are traditionally chocolate with vanilla whoopie pie filling, I think everyone was interested in the different flavors and pumpkin is hard to resist.

    We don’t use coconut oil, but I’d like to try this recipe. What can I use instead of coconut oil?

      Hi – You could use melted butter or shortening in place of the coconut oil.
