Pumpkin is one of my favorite flavors. I look forward to Fall so I can sample all of the pumpkin pies, breads, and other sweets offered this time of year. I came across this recipe for Pumpkin Whoopie Pies, and I could not pass it up. I remember my mother used to make us chocolate whoopie pies when we were little. We didn’t have them very often, so they were a very special treat. Mom says she got the recipe from this lady in our church named Lizzie. I’m not sure what her real name was – I’m guessing Elizabeth. Still, I love the fact that my mom got a whoopie pie recipe from someone named Lizzie. 
Over the years, Mom lost the recipe. About a year ago, I came across another whoopie pie recipe, the chocolate version. My husband loves them. This week, I tried the Pumpkin Whoopie Pie recipe from Bon Appetit. These little pies are fabulous, especially if you love pumpkin. I made them smaller than the recipe called for, and it made about 20 pies. I took one box to my friend, one to my coworkers, and we scarfed up the rest of them ourselves. What a great Fall treat!

I LOVE pumpkin. Unfortunately, it is high on the GI list and a no no for me. I only just found out and was so disappointed at having to eliminate it from my diet.

These looks so delicious! Altho, I have to say that when it comes to a choice between pumpkin and chocolate, I’d choose chocolate every time. Yummy!
