So .... . Having measured most of the dry ingredients ( a tablespoon of cinnamon ? I love cinnamon but ... how about a teaspoon of mixed spice instead ) into one bowl and some of the liquid ones into another , I peeled the two large Elstar apples and blenched at their hideously speckled , soggy interiors . Now what ? It was pouring outside , not the weather to pedal off for more . Frantic re-reading of muffin recipes . All I had was a couple of rather ripe bananas so I mashed and added them . Now the mix would be too mushy if I added all the liquid . O.K., only half the oil , then .
Now it looks boring without chunks of apple . So folded in a handful of chopped up dried apricots ... and some chia seeds, why not ? .
Fill one muffin case ... Rats !! I'd forgotten the brown sugar Oh , for Heaven's sake . Filled the rest of the cases anyway and shoved the lot in the oven .
I told you a Smitten Kitchen's recipe was fool-proof . They were astonishingly nice ... not to mention low in fat and sugar . I'm just going to eat another . Might make it look less gloomy outside

They sound wonderfully tasty and look pretty too. Good improv. skills:)
Well adapted!
Most of my recipe cooking is like that. Somehow or other I never go out to buy the proper ingredients.
Now then, do I have any muffin cases?
You cook the same way I do. Make do with what you have, and bend the rules to fit your mood. Well done you! Lovely photo, too.
Looks nice too, especially on that very pretty little saucer!
That's what I call creative baking. WEll done.
Wonderful improvisation!
