Pumpkin Whoopies

Method

• step 1

  Preheat oven to 180C and line a baking tray with parchment

• step 2

  Whisk together the oil, sugar and vanilla untill combined.

• step 3

  Add pumpkin puree and whisk until creamy then add the egg and combine.

• step 4

  Sift the flour, raising agents and spices in to the pumpkin mixture and fold until fully combined.

• step 5

  Spoon mixture in to a piping bag fitted with a round nozzle and pipe the mixture on to the prepared baking trays. Try to make 30 - 36 round mounds , you may need to use 2-3 trays or bake in batches as they should be 2-3cm appart as they may spread during baking. If you dont have a piping bag just spoon the mixture on to the trays.

• step 6

  Bake in the oven for 10 - 15 minutes or until the mounds spring back when lightly pressed.

• step 7

  Remove 1/2 the whoopies from the oven and place on a cooling rack. Turn over the other 1/2 of the whoopies over so that the flat bottom is facing up and place a whole marshmallow on the top . Return them to the oven for 1-2 minutes until the marshmallows are just starting to soften. (Don't let them get too soft or else they will make a big mess when you try to join them together!)

• step 8

  Remove the whoopies from the oven and sandwich one with marshmallow to one without.
