and made myself a pretty good treat.
look:
apples, oats, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, brown sugar, maple syrup.....
all just mooshed up and mashed together and baked.
mmhmm.
i had three big apples, peeled, cored, and chopped up.
i had half a cup of brown sugar,
a quarter cup of sugar,
a half teaspoon of salt,
a quarter cup and 2 T of oats,
6 T vegan butter,
half a cup of coconut yogurt,
half a cup of soymilk,
two cups of king arthur all-purpose flour,
two teaspoons of baking powder and one of baking soda,
a teaspoon of vanilla,
a lot of cinnamon, and a little nutmeg and allspice,
and a fat glug of real new hampshire maple syrup for more wet sticky goodness.
the oven was cranking at 400℉,
and the baking trays had parchment on 'em-
i shoved all that into a very coarse, loose battery doughy bloppity blarpy mess,
formed small balls,
and baked them for thirty minutes.
that's all.
then i iced them with thick wet powdered sugar drizzles,
and a few cinnamon sprankles.
then i ate them in rapid succession.
a whole lot of them.
whatever, man.
i make treats to make sense of my crumbling world.
it doesn't always work,
and sometimes i make crumbling creations, like these lumpy lovelies.
and some other other times,
i do all my making things right,
and still can't make things right.
i just have treats and also a bad time in bad relationships,
with people and places and portion control.
i'm a mess, and this sugary side project reflected that.
it still tasted good,
unlike every other thing that leaves a bad taste in my mouth;
never quiet, never soft.....
