Can Banana Bread Batter Be Baked as Cookies or Whoopie Pies

Question

Hi, I have some extra coconut frosting sitting in the freezer and free time on my hands :)  I was wondering if your banana bread recipe could also be turned into a cookie recipe (in this case for whoopie pies) by simply putting the dough on a cookie sheet and checking them in about ten or so minutes for doneess.  Ditto for the French Spice Cake.

Hi Keith - We haven't tested it, but our banana bread recipe isn't all that different than this banana whoopie pie recipe from Martha Stewart. I think it should work. I don't think I would recommend it for the French Spice Cake, though.  Due to the large amount of honey in the recipe I think it would spread too much. Best, Lynn C.
