Oatmeal Whoopie Pies
First up, let’s feast our eyes on this delicious creation:
Now, before we whip out our mixing bowls, here’s what you’ll need to conjure up these fluffy delights!
Ingredients:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups packed brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 3 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup raisins (or chocolate chips, if you’re feeling adventurous)
Alright, gather your ingredients and put on your apron! Let’s get this party started:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This is where the magic begins!
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. It’s okay to get a little elbow grease in there!
- Add in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Channel your inner superhero and whisk it good!
- Stir in the vanilla extract for that lovely aroma that makes everything better.
- In another bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Grab a whisk and mix it up to combine.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
- Fold in the oats and raisins (or chocolate chips, if that’s your thing!). Make sure every piece of yummy is thoroughly mixed.
- Drop spoonfuls of the batter onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving some space in between each for them to spread out as they bake.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Your kitchen is about to smell like a sweet paradise!
- Let them cool completely before slathering your favorite filling between two cookies. Cream cheese frosting or vanilla buttercream work wonders!
And voilà! Your Oatmeal Whoopie Pies are ready to be devoured. Grab a plate, invite some friends (or don’t; we won’t tell), and dig in. Who knew that a little oatmeal could take you on such a delicious ride?
