How to Make Vegan Pumpkin Whoopie Pies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened vegan butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. (An electric mixer is highly recommended).
  3. Whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, nutmeg, and salt in a separate bowl.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg replacer and plant-based milk until combined.
  5. Add the pumpkin puree to the creamed butter and sugar mixture. Beat until well combined.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  7. Add the milk mixture and mix until the batter is smooth.
  8. Drop rounded tablespoons of batter onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each whoopie pie.
  9. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let the whoopie pies cool completely on the baking sheets before frosting.
  11. While the cakes cool, prepare the frosting: In a medium bowl, beat together the softened vegan cream cheese and vegan butter until smooth.
  12. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, beating until light and fluffy.
  13. Once the whoopie pies are completely cool, spread a generous amount of frosting onto the flat side of one cake and top with another cake to create a whoopie pie.
  14. Wrap individually in saran wrap or store with a slice of stale bread to maintain freshness. Enjoy!
