It may be a stretch but these cookie-muffin-spongy things I concocted remind me of the Goombas from Super Mario Brothers… 
Anyway, in following the tradition of using canned pumpkin at the absolute wrong time of the year, I made pumpkin chocolate chip muffkies; they aren’t really cookies but they are really muffins. In other words, I had half a can of pumpkin sitting in the fridge left over from the waffles and I didn’t want to just throw it away. So I took the recipe from the cookies I made a couple of days ago, ixnayed the banana and peanut butter, and added the pumpkin. After mixing in everything except the choco chips, I transferred less than half of the batter to another bowl, added about 1/4 C of cocoa, a smidgen of soy milk, a tsp of vanilla, and a T spoon of sugar. Now I added the choco chips to the normal pumpkin batter. I then used a muffin pan, from Drury Lane… never mind, and spooned the cocoa mixed batter into it first, flattened it with a spoon, then put the other batter in on the top, and flattened it as well. The batter will stick to the spoon when you’re attempting to flatten it so get the spoon wet and it will work better. 15 minutes at 375 and voila, we have Goomba muffkies! They’re kind of odd in texture but that should be expected I guess when it’s healthy and vegan.
Your muffkies look delicious! But how in the world did you remember that the little dudes from Mario Brothers are called Goombas?? Seriously…
By the way, you take really good pictures of food.
There’s this really cool thing called the “internet.” It has really cool sites like “wikipedia.” I searched for Super Mario Brothers after the thought entered my head. I may remember every line to every song in Beauty and the Beast, but I didn’t remember what the goombas were called.
Thanks. I think I need a more advanced camera to take really good pics. I’ve seen some on other websites that look way better than what I’ve been able to produce.
