Ingredients
  

  • 2 cup All-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon Baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon Baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
  • 8 tablespoons Unsalted butter softened
  • 1 cup Granulated sugar
  • 1 cup Light brown sugar packed
  • 1 large Egg
  • 2 medium Ripe bananas mashed (about 1 cup)
  • 1 cup Sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
  • 2 cup Mascarpone at room temperature
  • 4 tablespoons Sugar for filling

Equipment

  • Mixer
  • Baking Sheets
  • Parchment paper
  • Cookie Scoop
  • Cooling rack

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line your baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon. Set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Add the egg and mashed bananas to the butter-sugar mixture. Beat until well combined.
  5. Mix in the sour cream and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix!
  7. Using a cookie scoop, drop rounded tablespoons of batter onto your prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each for spreading.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
  9. While the whoopie pies are cooling, prepare the filling by beating together the mascarpone and sugar until smooth and creamy.
  10. Once the whoopie pies are completely cooled, spread a generous dollop of the mascarpone filling on the flat side of one pie and top it with another pie, flat side down. Repeat with the remaining pies.

Notes

  • Allow the whoopie pies to cool completely before storing.
  • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  • For a warm treat, microwave briefly or let sit at room temperature.
