Oatmeal Cupcakes with Cinnamon Sugar Frosting Recipe

November 10, 2011

Oatmeal Cupcakes with Cinnamon Sugar Frosting RecipeOatmeal isn’t just for breakfast!

I ran out of the house late today and was in a huge hurry, my watch stopped working days ago and I haven’t had time to get a new one. It didn’t need a battery. I replaced the battery last month. It’s been losing minutes and I didn’t realize until last week when someone was picking me up and I wasn’t ready.

I’m typically on time<<< like really I’m an ON-TIME Person!

When I got in the car, I realized the time on the dashboard was twelve minutes later than I thought it was. Twelve minutes can seem like forever, especially when you are waiting for someone. Luckily I have good friends and she didn’t leave me behind.

I should have had some of these ready, they would have been perfect, to bring and make it all better, saying something like I was busy baking these to bring to you. But since I had no idea I was late, that didn’t happen.

It was 7 am (yes nice and early… WOW early!) and neither one of us had eaten breakfast, we knew it was going to be a long day. We were going to Los Angeles to Blog World. If you are a blogger and have the opportunity to go to Blog World I’d recommend it. The next Blog World is in NY. It was very informative.  We not only got to see people we already know and catch up, we met new friends like Ted Rubin and were filled with information from beginning to end. Great information from Seyd of WPbeginner. I even got to talk with Patty who is the Director of Business Development for Blog World and find out we are practically neighbors. It really is a small world! Getting out and meeting people is so important. It really keeps you involved in growing to be your best self!

These cupcakes would have been great, but then I would have been way later than twelve minutes.

    The cinnamon in the frosting looks soooooo good. As long as I have half and half, brown sugar and walnuts, I’m a happy oatmeal camper.

    I like the oatmeal cupcakes, but the frosting looks awesome. I think the right frosting is important. I’ve had cupcakes and cakes where a nasty frosting ruined it.

    I saw this recipe and just had to try it, so I ended up baking a batch today for my grandmother’s birthday! They were very yummy, but I did have a few comments. I used regular old fashion oats, and think I would have liked them better if I had used quick oats instead because the texture of uncooked oats stayed in the cupcakes even after baking them. It should also be noted that because I am not a huge fan of regular buttercream, I actually added half a package of cream cheese in to the frosting, and absolutely loved the combination. But thank you so much for this idea! I can’t believe I’ve never though of adding oats to yellow cake mix. What a simple, yet delicious addition.

      I used a dark coated cupcake pan and baked my cupcakes at 325 degrees for 15-18 minutes as the package directed. Check timing at minimum baking time according towhat mix you use and test every minute until they are not sticking on toothpick.

    i love the recipe! i just wonder how many cupcakes can i top with it?

    Reply
    • Diane says

      December 7, 2015 at 10:16 am

      That will depend on how much you top each cupcake with, but this frosting recipe will frost 24 cupcakes. If you put a smaller amount on 24 cupcakes you will have extra.

    My Cinnamon chips just arrive and I just went looking on Pinterest. There you are. Read down thru the comments to answer my question. I only have quick oats and wanted to use them. I assume that poster follow directions without changes due to the quick oats. With the cinnamon chips in them I won’t have to frost them. Quick for breakfast, but do love the frosting you posted.
