Oatmeal Cupcakes with Cinnamon Sugar Frosting Recipe
Oatmeal Cupcakes with Cinnamon Sugar Frosting Recipe
Oatmeal 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.

oatmeal in a cupcake – yum! and this frosting sounds delicious too, thank you for sharing!
These look incredible, Diane! They are “right up my alley,” so to speak. I could really use one or three right now with my Sunday morning coffee.
oh yes, wishing I had at least three right now 🙂
The cupcakes sound wonderful, Diane! I love oatmeal and I love even more that you doctored up a boxed cake mix. Sounds fantastic!!
They look amazing! I want.
If you brought me these cupcakes I wouldn’t care if your were 12 or 20 minutes late! Love the look of these and even better that they are made with oatmeal.
Your cupcakes look incredible!!!! I’m a sucker for oatmeal cookies, but I wouldn’t pass up one of your beautiful cupcakes~
Yummmm. These look just delicious!
Mmmmmm…I love oatmeal in baked goods. Definitely not just for breakfast! These sound very tasty!
Yum is it bad I just want the frosting! The cupcakes sound delish though!
My goal for next year is to attend a blog conference! I’ll have to check the dates and look for a baby sitter 🙂
These cupcakes look great Diane:) Love oatmeal desserts!
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.
The flavors in these cupcakes sound so good and I’d happy to gobble one up – late or not!
I eat oatmeal every day, but my favorite oatmeal is in cookie form:)
LOL, mine too 🙂
I have to try and get to that convention the next time they have it, sounds like it was really informative.
I wish you would have gone, we could have met 🙂
I need that frosting in my life NOW
well if you stop by I have extra 🙂
WOW..This looks awesome..Yummy

I love oatmeal chocolate chip cookies but without raisins.
Your cupcakes look amazing!! Never would have thought to put oatmeal in cupcakes!
oh yes I’m with you on the no raisins…I make them, but rarely eat them 🙂 I was surprised how much we all liked the cupcakes with oatmeal.
I love oatmeal. Thank you so much for sharing all of the delicious oatmeal recipe ideas!
And, those cupcakes…yummy! Totally could have them for breakfast. 🙂
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.
omg these look amazing! headed to put them on pinterest now
