Today I will share this recipe on how to make super yummy banana and hazelnut whoopie pies! There's no better way to use up those over ripened bananas! One lot is filled with nutella and the other with peanut butter.

1. Preheat oven to 180 degrees celsius.
2. Sift flour and add in bicarbonate of soda, baking powder and salt.
3. Mash bananas in a separate bowl and mix in the buttermilk. Leave to one side.

5. Add in 1/3 of flour and mix. Add 1/3 of banana and buttermilk mixture and mix. Keep alternating flour and banana mix until all incorporated.
