On a sudden whim, I ran into the kitchen this morning. It was raining heavily outdoors. Maybe the cooling effect of much-sought-after rains..I wanted to experiment with baking. I love baking. Watching my son eating peanut butter, I felt like using it in some dish. I picked up some oats. Why, oats is healthy, isn't it?..and so I mixed honey, baking powder,oats and peanut butter with eggs and wheat flour. Milk was poured from the top(just as it's done on TV cookery shows) and I watched as the muffins rose in the hot oven.
My heart rose too.
I couldn't wait to eat them.
But...
they turned out horrible.
Tasted so oatey..bland.
To redeem my effort, I applied butter icing with a dash of lemon added to it. I applied them generously all over the sad looking muffins.
Yummm..now it tasted nice.
But all health benefits fled with the wind!
I hereby come to this conclusion..
NEVER use oats in your muffin again!
Rather feed it to a hungry horse..
or better still apply it to your face with honey,..
as an excellent facepack!!!
