Recipe: Oatmeal Nutella Whoopie Pies
Summary: Charming little sweet oatmeal whoopie pies sandwiched with a Nutella frosting … brings out the child in you! Minimally adapted from The Pioneer Woman. I made half the recipe, about 12 whoopie pies.
Prep Time: 25 minutes
Total Time: 40 minutes {plus cooling/chilling time}
Ingredients:
Cookies
- 190g brown sugar
- 75g unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1 whole egg
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1 1/2 tbsp boiling water
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 150g plain flour
- 90g rolled oats
- Nutella Filling
- 2.5 tbsp all purpose flour
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 75ml low fat cream, chilled
75gm Nutella
Method:
Preheat oven to 180C. Line two baking sheets with parchment.
Cookies
Cream brown sugar and butter. Add egg, salt, cinnamon, and baking powder and mix. Mix baking soda and boiling water, then add to the bowl and mix. Add flour and oatmeal and mix well.
Scoop dough onto parchment-lined cookie sheets so that you have rounded heaping teaspoons. Bake for 20 minutes, being careful not to burn. Remove from oven, transfer to a cooling rack, and let the cookies cool completely.
Filling {adapted from That’s the Best Frosting I’ve Ever Had, by Missy Dew from here}
In a small saucepan, whisk flour into milk and heat, stirring constantly, until it’s very thick. Remove from heat and let it cool to room temperature. Stir in vanilla.
Whip the low fat cream to medium soft peaks. Whip the cooled flour mix until smooth, then add the Nutella and whip again until smooth. Fold in the whipped cream, cover and refrigerate for about 30 minutes/until firm enough to spread.
Scoop a small amount onto cookies, pressing a second cookie on top.
