Directions
| Whoopie Pies | |
| Step 1 | |
| Preheat oven to 350 In a mixing bowl cream together the butter and sugar, Add the bananas, vanilla, and salt and mix well. Mix in the eggs. Add the baking soda and slowly add the flour, mixing just until incorporated. Drop by heaping spoonfuls onto a baking sheet with 2-3" between them. (I like to use a silicone baking mat to help prevent too much spreading.) Bake for 10-12 minutes. Let cool a few minutes on the pan before transferring to a cooing rack. | |

| Ganache | |
| Step 3 | |
| Heat the milk in a small bowl for about 1 minute. Add chocolate chips and let sit for 2 minutes. Stir well until smooth. Carefully pour spoonfuls of ganache over each whoopie pie. Store in a sealed container. | |

ashlie says
These sound fantastic! But they do not have to be refrigerated because of the filling having milk?
Stephanie says
Hi Ashlie, generally I do not refrigerate them if they will be consumed within 24 hours. Otherwise, go ahead and put them in the fridge – they’ll last longer 🙂
