Smooth pillows of cream filling are sandwiched between cake-like cookies – and best of all, they’re naturally colorful. Leaving out artificial dyes and refined sugar, these whoopie pies get their vibrant color and oh-so sweet red velvet flavor from plant-based ingredients such as beets, apple cider vinegar and powdered monk fruit. Just one bite and you might find yourself exclaiming “Whoopie!”.
