Ingredients
Flour: Regular all purpose, here. I always use King Arthur brand.
Cocoa Powder: For a chocolate-y flavor.
Sugar: Granulated sugar for structure and sweetness.
Leaveners: A combo of baking powder and baking soda, here.
Salt: For balance.
Vegan Butter: I prefer to use Soy-Free Earth Balance for all of my baking.
Non-Dairy Milk: I used oat milk, but any non dairy milk will work.
Agave Nectar: For a little added sweetness.
Vanilla: For a background flavor.
Method
These Vegan Oreo Whoopie Pies use the muffin mixing method.
First, combine all of the dry ingredients in a large bowl.
Then, in a small bowl, combine the wet ingredients.
Next, pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix. And thats it!
Then, chill the batter for 20 minutes. This is important! This helps the cookies stay nice and thick.
Now, use a cookie scoop to portion the batter onto parchment lined baking sheets.
And you're ready to bake!
Making the Cookies and Cream Filling
The filling for these Oreo Whoopie Pies is a light and fluffy cookies and cream buttercream.
Start by creaming the vegan butter. Its should be soft and creamy before adding the powdered sugar.
Then, add the powdered sugar and mix on low until the butter and sugar have combined. Then you can turn the speed up.
Add the vanilla and non-dairy milk and mix until the buttercream is light and fluffy.
Finally, fold in the crushed Oreos and its ready to use!
Top Recipe Tip
Be sure to chill the batter! Just 20 minutes in the refrigerator helps the cookies stay nice and thick while baking.
This recipe will work if you don't chill the batter, but the cookies will be a little less fluffy.
Storage
To store, place the Oreo Whoopie Pies in an air tight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
I don't recommend freezing for this recipe.
