‘Tis the season for gingerbread! And these Gingerbread Protein Whoopie Pies are a heavenly treat!
The whoopie pie cookie recipe is a simple whey cookie (+ added gingerbread spices, of course) and I filled them with Cream Cheese Protein Frosting. Delicious!
In my original Protein Whoopie Pies I used Protein Marshmallow Fluff as the filling, and that would be great with these Gingerbread Protein Whoopie Pies, as well. However you like it!
I made the cookies with Jamie Eason’s vanilla whey concentrate. It bakes well, and has a nice vanilla flavor. Other whey protein powders might give different results, so be sure to use one that bakes well!
Happy Baking!
