Sweet Potato Whoopie Pies with Maple Marshmallow Creme

Heather @ Sprinkle Bakes recommends using fresh sweet potatoes as opposed to canned. I concur. Bake two sweet potatoes at 375 F. for 45 minutes. Peel and mash.

In attempt to cut calories and sugar, I replaced the 3/4 c. sugar with Smart Sugar. Smart Sugar is puffed sugar crystals that provide all the sweetness of sugar, but using less of it. A serving contains less than 5 calories, which saves this recipe nearly 400 calories. Measures cup-for-cup. This substitution did not affect the delicious flavor.

I know, I'm making whoopie pies and talking about cutting calories...but I say cut where you can.
