Gluten Free Gingerbread Whoopie Pies

I happen to LOVE all things gingerbread! There are so many variations with different spices and mixtures of ingredients.

When I was a little kid, I used to eat these soft, oatmeal sandwich cookie things that had a cream center. You remember those, right?

That was the vision I had in my head with these, only I wanted them with Fall flavors and I wanted the center to be a creamy cream cheese filling.

My entire family loved these, even my dogs. I had one sitting on the counter and I walked away JUST FOR A MOMENT and came back to a dog licking his lips and wagging his tail. Sigh…. He does this ALL the time so I should know better.

What is Blackstrap Molasses?

I LOVE using blackstrap molasses. I usually eat low carb, so molasses isn’t something I use often. But when I do use it, I savor EVERY LAST DROP.

The process to make molasses is actually pretty simple. Basically cane sugar is boiled 3 times. The first boil creates cane syrup. The second boil creates molasses. And the third boil creates blackstrap molasses which is what I use.

How is molasses different from blackstrap molasses?

First and foremost, blackstrap molasses has less sugar content than regular molasses which is the main reason I like it.

Blackstrap molasses is also darker and heavier than regular molasses and is not as sweet tasting. Perhaps even more bitter.

How to Store Gluten Free Whoopie Pies

The best way to store these delicious cookie pies is in an airtight container in the fridge. They last up to about 3 days. Probably longer even, but that is the safe timeframe. They were gone by the 4 day mark in my house!

It was hard to keep them around.

Kitchen Essentials

You don’t need anything fancy to make whoopie pies.

I found that it was helpful to have a cookie dough scooper because the dough is relatively soft and sticky. It is certainly not necessary though.

And, of course, a baking sheet and parchment paper will definitely help!

How To Make Gluten Free Gingerbread Whoopie Pies

First, you will want to preheat your oven to 350 degrees.

Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper, or just one if you have a large baking sheet!

In a large bowl, mix together the coconut flour, monkfruit, collagen, baking powder, Allspice, and salt. Mix well.

I like to use Perfect Keto’s Vanilla Collagen Powder due to the low carb count, but you can use whatever you have! Code RUNNINGKETO will get you 20% if you want to try it out.

In a separate bowl, cream butter and cream cheese with hand beater. 30-60 seconds.

Next, let’s combine everything! Add cheese mixture, eggs, heavy whipping cream, and molasses to coconut flour mixture.

Continue beating with the hand beater until it is well blended.

Chill the dough for 30 minutes.

Using a scooper, make 1 1/2 -2 balls and place them on the baking sheet. You do want to leave some room as they will spread out.

Bake for 15-17 minutes.

Set aside and let cool.

Cream Cheese Filling

Add cream cheese, butter, sweetener and vanilla to a medium bowl and beat with clean hand beaters.

Once cooled, add to the middle of 2 gingerbread cakes (the flat part) and make a sandwich!
