PanSpanWhoopie Pie Baking Pan
Which whoopie pie baking pan will give me neat, evenly sized halves without sticking or taking up space for just one job?
For most home bakers, I’d choose the Fox Run: it’s a dedicated 12-cup whoopie pie pan that makes sense when even sandwich-cookie halves are the main goal. If you want a versatile 12-cup pan with extended handles, I’d take the Wilton instead. The other picks trade cavity size or pan format for more flexibility, so the right choice comes down to how big you want your rounds and how you like to bake.
#1 · Fox Run
Fox Run Non-Stick Baking Pan, Whoopie Pie Pan, 12 Cup Muffin Top Pan | Nonstick For Easy Baking, Relase & Cleaning | Bake Whoopie Pies, Muffin Tops & Burger Buns | Whoopie Pie Baking Essential
This is the straightforward choice for whoopie pies: a dedicated 12-cup pan with a nonstick finish for releasing the soft cake halves cleanly. Pick it when uniform rounds matter more than having the most multipurpose tray.
#2 · Wilton
Wilton Gold Non-Stick Muffin Top Pan, Made Without PFAS, 11 x 16 in | Non-Stick Steel with Scratch-Resistant Coating, Resists Warping, Extended Handles, Dishwasher Safe, Perfect for Muffin Tops
Choose the Wilton if you want a 12-cup muffin-top pan that can also handle other shallow bakes, and appreciate its extended handles and dishwasher-safe cleanup. Its 11-by-16-inch size is worth checking against your oven rack and cupboard before you commit.
#3 · Bake Choice
Bake Choice Muffin Top Pan, 12 Cavity Baking Pan for Muffin Tops, Non-Stick | Cupcake Pan, Perfect for Egg Bites, Cookies & Whoopie Pies, 11 x 16 Inch,Carbon Steel Baking Supplies
This 12-cavity, 11-by-16-inch pan suits bakers who want one tray for whoopie pies, muffin tops, egg bites and small buns. It’s a good fit if you’re comfortable hand-washing bakeware to care for its nonstick coating.
#4 · Tiawudi
Tiawudi Muffin Top Pan, 4-Cup Hamburger Bun Pan, Large Whoopie Pies Pan, Non-Stick Bakeware for Eggs, Cornbread, Small Cake Layers and Drop Cookies, Set of 3
Take this set of three when you want larger, 4-inch rounds for generous whoopie pies, small cake layers or buns. Each pan has four shallow cups, for 12 cups total across the set; plan on hand-washing them.
#5 · Yomvzake
Yomvzake Muffin Top Pan 2 Pack Baking Pans Whoopie Pie Pan, Nonstick 3 Inch Yorkshire Pudding Pan for Pansuffin, Moon Pie, Cookies, Small Hamburger Bun
Choose this two-pan set if 3-inch shallow rounds suit your recipes and you want to use the pans for eggs, cookies or English muffins too. Lightly grease the cavities, as recommended for this pan, for easier release and longer-lasting use.
Do I need a dedicated whoopie pie pan?
If you mainly bake sandwich-cookie halves and want them to come out evenly round, take the Fox Run. Shallow wells guide the batter into more consistent shapes than free-form scoops on a flat sheet. For a pan that earns its cupboard space with other shallow bakes, the Wilton or Bake Choice is the better call.
Which pan is best for larger batches?
The Fox Run, Wilton and Bake Choice each have 12 cups, while the Tiawudi set has 12 cups total spread across three pans. For regular batches, I’d choose the Fox Run for whoopie pies or the Wilton for a more versatile tray. If one pan’s capacity is short for your recipe, plan on baking another round.
Should I choose standard or larger rounds?
For more traditional-sized sandwich-cookie halves, start with the Fox Run. The Yomvzake has 3-inch cavities, while the Tiawudi’s 4-inch cavities make larger rounds; choose based on the portion size you want to serve. Remember that larger halves need matching tops and bottoms, so keep each batch consistent.
How much does cleanup matter?
For the easiest cleanup routine, the Wilton is dishwasher safe, as is the Fox Run. I’d still use a soft sponge and avoid metal tools on any nonstick surface to help preserve the coating. The Tiawudi and Bake Choice call for hand-washing, so pick one of those if you don’t mind a little extra care.

Questions buyers ask
Will a whoopie pie pan make more even halves than a flat baking sheet?
Yes. The shallow wells help contain the batter and shape more uniform rounds, which makes it easier to pair up sandwich-cookie halves.
How do I stop whoopie pie batter sticking in the shallow wells?
Lightly grease the cavities if your recipe or pan care calls for it, and avoid scraping the nonstick surface with metal tools. Let the baked rounds settle briefly before easing them out with a flexible spatula.
Which pick is best for large batches of whoopie pies?
For a larger batch, prioritize a one-tray option: choose the Fox Run for dedicated whoopie pie baking, or the Wilton or Bake Choice if you also want a multipurpose muffin-top pan. The Tiawudi spreads its 12 cups across three pans, so it suits you if baking in separate pans is convenient.
Will an 11-by-16-inch pan fit my oven?
Measure the usable width and depth of your oven rack, then leave room to slide the pan in and out without catching the sides. The Wilton and Bake Choice are both listed at 11 by 16 inches, but your oven’s interior and rack layout determine the fit. Commercial half-sheet pans are typically about 18 by 13 inches, so check your rack dimensions before choosing that larger format.
Can I use a whoopie pie pan for anything else?
Yes. These shallow-well pans also suit muffin tops, small buns and egg bakes; some can handle cookies or small cake layers too. Choose the Wilton or Bake Choice for a 12-cavity format, or the Tiawudi if you prefer larger 4-inch cups.
