How to Make Gluten Free Twinkies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour your twinkie molds.
  2. In a large bowl, beat 4 large egg whites with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together 4 large egg yolks until pale yellow. Gradually whisk in 1/2 cup grapeseed oil and 1/2 cup agave nectar until well combined.
  4. Whisk in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1 tablespoon lemon juice.
  5. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup coconut flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the batter until just combined.
  8. Spoon the batter into the prepared twinkie molds, filling them about halfway.
  9. Bake for 11-12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Remove from oven and let the twinkies cool completely in the molds before removing.
  11. **For the Filling:**
  12. In a clean bowl, beat 2 large egg whites with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
  13. Gradually add 1/4 cup agave nectar and continue beating until stiff peaks form again.
  14. Transfer the filling to a piping bag or a zip-top bag with a corner snipped off.
  15. Once the twinkies are completely cool, pipe or spoon the filling into the center of each twinkie through 3 small holes on the flat side.
  16. Serve immediately or chill for later. Enjoy!
