Ingredients

1 cup gluten-free flour blend that includes Xanthan gum or Guar gum. I suggest King Arthur Gluten-Free Measure for Measure or Pamela's Gluten-Free All-Purpose Artisan Blend
1/4 cup plus 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp instant coffee grounds
1 scoop chocolate protein powder I prefer Orgain Organic Protein Powder
2/3 cup water
2/3 cup granulated sugar or Monkfruit Sweetener for les sugar
1/3 cup mashed banana
1/4 cup nut butter of choice; I prefer almond or peanut butter
2 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup semi-sweet allergy-friendly chocolate chips or mini semi-sweet chocolate chips. I used Enjoy Life Dark Chocolate Morsels which are allergy-friendly.
1/2 tbsp vanilla frosting

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350
Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium mixing bowl combine the first 6 ingredients. Mix well.
In a small bowl add water, sugar, mashed banana, nut butter, and vanilla. Mix well.
Add banana mixture to dry mixture and mix well with a spoon.
Fold in chocolate chips.
Scoop 2 tbsp of dough onto the baking sheet. Flatten slightly. Bake for 10-12 minutes. Let cookies rest about 5 minutes then transfer to a cooling rack.
Freeze and add frosting later, or make sandwich cookies once they have reached room temperature.

Notes

Store chocolate protein Whoopie pies in an airtight container at room temperature for several days or refrigerate for longer storage. I prefer to freeze mine; they will be ready to enjoy in just a few minutes or anytime later that day just as fresh as the day they were made.
