stalkerbunnyToday has contained far too much faint nausea (started when I took the wrong bus and had to sit in an airless, noisy and generally unpleasant underground and really only stopped once I got home after uni). And have been fighting feelings of uselessness/general unworthiness, thanks to unfruitful job hunting, mostly. Not that I have been in a bit now. It's hard to be bothered to go to the trouble when most of them don't even bother to decline.
But! Cakes!
Have some bananas with black spots and was feeling like something sweet so I mixed half of my usual cookie recipe with a banana and some cocoa powder. The end result is like a strange but quite tasty amalgamation of buns and cookies.
100 grams margarine (could try butter too but I had none)
1/5 dl(decilitre) sugar (next time I'll use 1 dl, they could have been sweeter to my taste and I don't even like very sweet things usually)
-> mix until well mixed/fluffyish
1 egg
1 banana (-> just mixed everything with a hand mixer idk if that was the best idea)
mix:
~ 3 1/2 dl flour
Some chocolate. (I had two large teaspoons but they didn't become very chocolatey. Could try some actual dark chocolate too, as they are also a tad dry.)
2 ts baking powder
2 ts vanilla sugar
next time I'll try putting in some cinnamon too, didn't think of it this time.
-> mix with the rest bit by bit.
Roll the dough into rolls, cut into largish (like... two fingers rolled up?) pieces and roll again if you want more even and pretty cookies. I don't.
cook in 175C for ten minutes.
