I have a confession to make, and it's not going to be pretty. I've been feeling like shit for, oh, way too long. Probably about a year, or two. And when I say feeling like shit, I mean physically, mentally, emotionally, the works. 2015 has been pretty rough, to be honest. And as much as I try to be "in the moment", I am looking forward to this year being behind me. So without getting too "Livejournalish", let me tell you a little bit about what has been going on. Maybe my story and experiences will help you, or someone you know. And that will somehow make it all worthwhile, right?

That being said, I absolutely loathe black coffee. And I need coffee in the morning to wake up. So now I'm in a peculiar situation. Almond milk is the natural alternative. But store bought almond milk is gross. I have tried so many brands. A lot of them have nasty ingredients in them, like carrageenan, lecithin, and other questionable things. Shouldn’t it just be almonds and water? I mean, why is it so hard? So without any suitable store-bought alternatives, I'm left to my own devices.

For these muffins, I adapted a PaleOMG recipe that I've made before, with a few modifications for my preferences. I'll pop one of these into the toaster this morning and eat alongside my sausages. Knowing an apple cinnamon muffin is waiting for you makes going into work a little bit better.... right? RIGHT?
