Cacao + Tahini Whoopie Pies

I didn’t know what ‘Whoopie Pies’ were until I came to Australia, where they seem to be all the rage. Chocolate + pie? I know…sounds gross. From what I’ve gathered, It basically two cookies or cakes with a deliciously creamy filling sandwiched in the middle. You’re drooling now right?! Not one for missing out on sweet treats, I made my own (probably very non-traditional) version. Sorry Whoopie Pie Police. My version is packed with loads of high-protein ingredients, making them great for satiety and muscle repair. As ever, there’s no crappy sugar, flour or gunk. I challenge you to eat more than one though – these bad-boys are pretty full on (even at just 230 calories each). It’s time to get your Pie on.

The healthy stuff: Black Tahini is a paste made from ground black sesame seeds. It’s is an excellent source of vitamin E, F, and T as well as B vitamins, Biotin and Choline. It also contains a wealth of amino acids and essential minerals. As a 20% complete protein, black tahini is richer in protein than milk, soya beans, and most nuts!
