GF PUMPKIN BLOPS!

muffins or cupcakes?
if there's spice, are they even cupcakes?
if they're frosted, are they even muffins?
if they're gluten-free are we even worried about anything else?
i make nicey-niceties for breezy.
she takes all the good care of all those kids,
but she can't even munch up on wheat without falling to pieces,
and that ain't right, man.
nope.
not one bit.
so i do what i can to make the specialties all sorts of special.
see:

YEAH!!
lemme just say that that's coconut creamchee' frosting,
AND cinnamaple grey dollops, too.
yup.
a secret flavor bomb on the side is a nice touch, in my opinion.
i have the recipes for those on here all over the place,
take a look around and find out.
also,
you really do need to know how to make these:
-
*
GF PUMPCAKES!
-
preheat the oven to 350℉
-
in a mixin' bowl, smoosh up:
1 stick vegan butter (8 T);
1 tsp vanilla;
1 cup brown sugar;
1/2 tsp salt;
1 cup pumpkin;
cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, ginger and cloves, to taste;
-
stir in:
1 cup bob's all-purpz gf flour;
1 cup bob's 1:1 gf flour;
3 T tapioca flour;
1/2 cup blended gf flour (i used quinoa flax, it doesn't really matter);
1/4 cup coconut;
1/2  cup chopped walnuts;
1 tsp baking soda;
1 1/2 tsp baking powder;
1 cup non-dairy milk.
stir it well,
then scoop it evenly into muffin papers,
and bake 'em for thirtyish minutes.
you'll know when they're done,
because gluten free stuff gets cracks in it when it's finished.
easy, right?
i KNOW.
once you get into a rhythm for wheatlessness,
it gets a LOT easier, and that's good news for me, man.
hallowe'en all month long?
yes.
treats all day every day?
yes.
sweetness for the sweetness?
yes.
it is literally always an adventure in feelings and time management.
that's what happens when emotional people interact in trying circumstances.
muffincakes help grease the wheels, for sure.
we do the best we can.
i make the food that makes the days make sense,
and together we make the best of our time;
never quiet, never soft.....
