Shortening free peanut butter whoopie pies!
Posted by Sasha G.
About
Was inspired by Cat Morley's PB whoppie pies.
Until i discovered i didn't have any shortening.
so i adapted the recipe a little bit.
so anyone who wants to make whoopie pies with peanut butter, but can't get their hands on shortening can try this out.
also, more trans-fat free!
i think.
i guess it depends on you peanut butter.
