These gluten-free vegan whoopie pies are a delicious treat that will make you whoop with joy!

Somewhere between a cake and a biscuit, the soft chocolate cookies that form the outer layers of these whoopie pies are made with rice flour, so they’re suitable for gluten-free vegan diets.

The filling is a sweet peppermint buttercream, which adds a refreshing lift to the sweet flavours of this cookie sandwich.

These are easy and affordable to make, meaning they’re ideal for a quick coffee morning treat, a fun but simple vegan dessert, or a budget-friendly bake sale option.

How to store and serve whoopie pies

These gluten-free vegan whoopie pies can be served at room temperature, but they won’t stay fresh for long if they’re not stored in the fridge.

Refrigerating your whoopie pies doesn’t just make them last longer. It’s also the best way to enjoy their fresh flavours and satisfying chewy texture.

For the best results, chill these whoopie pies for at least 30 minutes before you eat them. This helps to give the chocolate cookies a softer, fudgier texture and enhances the cooling peppermint filling.
