Gluten Free Pumpkin whoopie pies with marshmallow cream filling.

 

 

 That fluff has a mid of its own... reminds me of all that flowing marshmallow stuff in Ghost Busters...

 

( I have always wanted to be the stay puff marshmallow man at halloween... gonna have to get thinking about costumes stat.)

Whooopieeee It's half term holiday! (about bloody time) With my cupboards nicely stocked up pumpkin and With halloween around the corner I thought I'd get baking. Really missed my Bake n Beebz down time in the kitchen lately.

 Ive always wanted to bake whoopie pies, its always been on my baking to do list, but something else always just beats it to the oven and I have just never got around to actually doing it. They always seemed like such a good idea as the top of cupcakes/ muffins aaaand the frosting is ALWAYS the best and my favourite bit.
So armed with some left over  gf cake box mix, canned pumpkin and my spatula I got to work.

 Its pretty obivious now i am pretty mildly obessed with cinnemon spices and pump combo, Instead of making the box mix up with the oil and eggs called for i just spooned in the pumpkin for a low fat whoopie. whoooooopiiieeeeeeee...

Pumpkin Quest.

This gal and her pup decided to go on a  mission to find tinned pumpkin...

 Its pretty rare, the only supermarket in the UK to really stock it is Waitrose, which is a 2 hour round trip on foot... (really need to pass my driving test ay es ay pee) So me and Beebz threw on our rucksacks and set off for a adventure.

 

a beautiful autumnal evening.

  

We stopped to refuel, picnic style by the river with a diet cola for me and water and kibble for Bobbin.

 

After  bit more trekking, we finally made it! Got the pumpkin, got out, no messin' and headed back home with the supermarket's whole shelf supply of pumpkin. plus a bonus...this cute munchkin pump.. 

 

OHHHHH and found another munchkin pumpkin too...

 (f.y.i first Bake n Beebz video installment! may make it a regular occurrence.) Dunno how happy Bobbin is with me making her play halloween dress up. but it makes me very happy, indeed.

So excited to get baking! there's so many pumpkin recipes I have been dying to try out for so long...
