CINNAMON/BROWN SUGAR/CIDER.

cups and cakes, kids.
i'm about that spongy, soft, dare i describe it as MOIST, muffiny magic.
yep.
cupcakes are good for you.
if for no other reason than it's a cake you don't have to settle for just a slice of.
YEAH!
i made up a batch, from scratch, naturally,
and they seem to really be something sort of special.
flavorwise, they've got all the comfort of autumn in every single bite.
i don't know what's different, but i do know it's F*ing expert.
check the teleport:

YUP.
two sizes.
i made what i thought was a short order,
but i had my usual magical pessimistical mystery goggles on.
duh.
it's like i constantly forget that i instinctively adopt an uncanny adherence
to the secret universal rules on the regular-
i think i don't have enough,
when really,
too much is the right amount.
so i ended up with another dozen and then some of miniature overflow cuties, to boot.
nice!
you ninjas want to try your hand at these hotties?
ok.
here's what i did-
(good luck recreating the new hampshire majesty trapped in every morsel)
-
1 stick vegan butts
3 T vegan creamchee'
1 cup brown sugar
3 T granulated sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup non-dairy yogurt
^^^^ whipped up into an airy creamy wet bowlful of awesome,
to which you must add-
2 1/4 cups a.p. flour
2 T cinnamon
1 1/2 tsp ginger
2 tsp vanilla
2 tsp baking kapowder
1/3 cup tapioca, for that springiness that comes from puddin' it to the mix
3/4 cup apple cider (or 1/2 cup cider 1/4 cup non dairy milk, whatever)
^^whisked up until smooth,
it makes a more than a dozen, but less than a double dozen, regular sized cuppycakers,
filled 1/2 way before baking, at 350F for 30 minutes or so.
mmmmmm.
it seems so straightforward, but they taste so complex.
i'm very pleased with the finished product.
-
the frosting?
weirdest version of cinnamaple creamchee' yet.
i mean it.
6 T vegan butts
3 T creamchee'
2 cups powpow
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
1 tsp maple extract
2 T maple syrup
and a whole lotta whippin'.
ooooooooooooooooooooof!
....it's dope.
and i mean, really dope.
and thick. and smooth. and toothachingly sweet.
it's seriously too much, kids,
which is how you know were doing it right, right?
yes indeed, because rules is rules.
***********
so,
do you guys eff with hallowe'en heavy in your 'hood?
yeah?
bobbing for apples in boogery water?
dressing as a slutty something or other?
scaring people from out of the bushed by the backdoor?
yeah?
that's cool.
i get into it,
but i don't really get it,
i more like, ghetto it.
i'm sayin', i LOVE it.
but,
i don't DO much.
i mean, i work, because i always work,
but otherwise,
i just dress up, and then go through my everyday routine.
i wonder if i should change it up this year?
or just stick with the bleak bitter jawbreakers of hurtful and howling-mad
hermity tricky treatises on being all by my lonely?
hahahahaha.
guys,
i'm gonna come home after work,
keep my porch light OFF,
and eat a whole pie by myself.
hell,
maybe i'll eat a pizza pie AND pumpkin pie.
word.
what-what, say what, say what?
ANYthing can happen.
it just most likely won't.
that's the way i celebrate the things i love the most;
never quiet, never soft.....
