No muffins here! Soft oatmeal cupcakes filled with chocolate chips,then,topped with a creamy brown sugar buttercream frosting. A delicious treat for any occasion.

Hey! Let’s make cupcakes today!

Oatmeal cupcakes loaded with chocolate chip, then, they are all frosted up with a creamy, dreamy brown sugar buttercream frosting. AH! They are delicious.

What do I Need to Make these Cupcakes?

• 12 count muffin pan + non stick cooking spray or cupcake liners.
• An electric mixer + mixing bowl.
• Flour.
• Eggs
• Brown sugar.
• Vanilla.
• Old fashion oats.
• Butter.
• Salt.
• Ground cinnamon
• Buttermilk.
• Baking powder.
• Chocolate chips – regular + mini
• Powdered sugar.
• Milk.

Some Recipe Notes:

• An easy tool for scooping cupcake batter is an ice cream scooper. Yep. I use something similar to this one. Works like a dream.
• Not to sound like a broken record, but, be sure your butter is softened before making your frosting. If it’s too cold, your frosting will not have a nice, creamy consistency.
• My cupcakes are just sprinkled with mini chocolate chips. But, if you like, you can stir them right into the frosting, instead. About a 1/2 cup should work fine.
• You may have extra frosting leftover, after frosting your cupcakes. If you do, store any leftovers in a covered container in the refrigerator.
• If you don’t have any buttermilk on hand, you can replace it with regular whole milk.

Start your week right —-eat a cupcake. 😍
