Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cupcakes with Cinnamon Sugared Chip Frosting.
fo’
life.
Wish I could say more but… am at a complete loss for words on this little Friday here. The only thing I want to do is smash my entire body into a some oatmeal cupcake pillows. And build myself a house of epic proportions, made of cinnamon sugar chip frosting.
And peanut butter.
Then eat myself out of house and home.
Literally.
Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cupcakes
[adapted from my sweet potato pie cupcakes]
makes 12 cupcakes
1 large egg
3/4 cup loosely packed brown sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick), melted and cooled
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
1 1/4 teaspoons baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
2 tablespoons milk
1/2 cup chocolate chips, tossed in a sprinkle of flour
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a cupcake tin with liners.
In a large bowl, whisk egg and sugar together until combined and no lumps remain. Add in vanilla extract and butter, whisking until smooth. Add in flour, oats, baking soda, salt and cinnamon then add in milk and stir until combined and smooth. Fold in chocolate chips. Drop about 1/4-1/3 cup of batter into each liner. Bake for 15-17 minutes, or until cupcakes are set and spring back at the touch. Let cool completely before frosting.
Cinnamon Sugared Chocolate Chip Frosting
1 cup unsalted butter (2 sticks), softened
2 cups powdered sugar
1/2 cup loosely packed brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon of milk, if needed
1/3 cup mini chocolate chips
Beat butter in the bowl of an electric mixture until completely smooth and creamy. With the mixer on low speed, add in powdered sugar slowly. Gradually increase mixer speed and add brown sugar and vanilla, then beat for 2-3 minutes, scraping down sides and bottom of the bowl. If frosting is too thick, add milk 1 teaspoon at a time until desired consistency is reached If it’s too thin, add sugar gradually until it thickens. Fold in chocolate chips, then frost cupcakes. Extra frosting can be stored in the freezer for about 6 weeks.
The end.

Sooooo delicious, but…leftover frosting? What leftover frosting? And up to 6 weeks it’s gonna last in there? Ha. As if.
I love how you made it healthy with the oatmeal. The three sticks of butter adds to the health piece as well. You must get your dairy in there somehow.
;)
Thanks for sharing! Making them THIS WEEKEND!!! Oh, and your Chicken/Orzo/Broccoli thang? Girl. That’s been consumed by new moms all over my town, as it’s my go-to meal for them!!! Everyone LOVES it!!
Oh I’m so glad!!
Dang woman….that is all I can say. No… I have more. Me want one..
OMG these are the most amazing cupcakes I’ve ever seen, I love everything about them! :)
Why are so many things you make getting pinned into my “food porn” board? If I lived anywhere near you I would be in ecstasy all the time
These sound amazing and I cant wait to try. Is their any way of getting the nutritional info? I know most want to just ignore that but I think it’s important to know and a good way of enjoying without destroying.
I don’t calculate the nutritional info for my recipes but you are more than welcome to stick the ingredients in an online calorie calculator and find out!

Thank goodness for the oatmeal in these – they’re healthy and I can have at least 3.
Right? Right?? ;)
The frosting, alone, is genius!
Right!
Talk about a little piece of heaven!
I read this as “Potato Chip Oatmeal Cupcakes”. It is definitely Friday.
With chocolate chips, though, these sounds delicious. I love a messy frosting.
Um, potato chip cupcakes sound amazing.
You know, I think I could get behind that: salty, crunchy chips and a sweet, light cake. Yep. That’s a cupcake I would try!
I swear that this looks like the best cupcake recipe I’ve ever seen in my life. Dramatics are very much needed right now!
Ahhhhhhh. I was just staring into the pantry last night thinking I needed to make some chocolate chip oatmeal stuff, and you came to save the day. Do you wear a superhero cape? Because you should.
Cake for life. I’m all about it.
um, i need these now. have i told you i love you? i do. in the most non creepy way possible.
making….these…..now….k, bye!
Cake for life!! We should get matching tattoos…
For sure.
Can’t go wrong with cake! These look awesome. I love the texture that oats give to baked goods so I know I’d love this!
Me too!
Those look fantastic! Around Thanksgiving, I make batch upon batch of pumpkin-chocolate-chip muffins with a cinnamon sugar topping – and I always miss them when they’re gone! This sounds like a tasty and very year-round appropriate substitution. Thanks!
that looks bloody goooood =)
These look too good to be true!
helloooooo lovers! seriously, cake fo’ life!
OMG those look fantastic! I HAVE to make these next month! Oh, and p.s. could you build me a house to??
OMG I shouldn’t have looked at this right before lunch. I’m literally drooling.
These are healthy, right? I mean with oatmeal in the title it reminds me of some kind of healthy superfood… I’ll consider it so until you or someone tells me otherwise.
OMG I actually got excited over this frosting. (It’s the little things in life) :) I am SO making these this weekend!
P.s. I SO wanna dip cookies or pretzels straight into this frosting
That frosting looks like ice cream.. if it wasn’t 40 degrees in my apartment and if I had an ice cream maker I’d be making cinnamon sugar chocolate chip ice cream right now… I guess I’ll just have to make more blood orange scones and blood orange thumbprints! and these cupcakes of course…
If I held such authority, I would crown you queen of awesome cupcakes! Seriously delish, my friend!
I want to dive into that frosting. The mini chips are so cute!
Hello yummy texture! Dang it I gotta make these
I’m basically obsessed with every recipe you post! But tell me, how do your arteries hold up? Does the sheer joy of this amazing food you cook keep your heart healthy? I’m making these for my girls night this weekend, by the way.
ohmygosh…these are amazing!! i literally just got done making them! =) thank you!
Sweet! So glad you like them. Enjoy!

Wow.. just.. wow.
Those look and sound amazing, especially that frosting. Never mind the cupcakes, can I just eat the frosting with a spoon?
OMG, you can make a day that you don’t feel you have anything today into a spectacular looking (and sounding) post. Great looking recipe, great photos….please send some my way!!! :) Have a great Friday.
Oh, these have oatmeal? So they are a healthy breakfast choice.. right?
Oh my! Great recipe. Crave worthy! Happy Friday!
I wish I lived near you… hoping each day you would share your amazing treats with me. The labor that goes into it. And I would only eat 1 treat if I was your neighbor.. it’s so hard to share, I could only imagine. :-)
I appreciate how you’re able to fit 3 desserts into 1.
Talent.
i had to read the title like 3 times to completely comprehend the enormity of the flavors in these cupcakes. i have no words expect Amazing.
Love it! Its like a muffin with frosting. Why don’t all muffins have frosting?!
I feel like the more words you have in your recipe titles, the more delicious they appear. It’s like a rule or something. This particular recipe also happens to contain many of my favorite words…chocolate, cinnamon, sugar, frosting…man, stick peanut butter in there and you literally could not satisfy my sweet tooth any more.
I came on your website because I wanted a cupcake recipe. This is the first thing I saw. THEY LOOK SO GOOD. I don’t know what I’d do without all of these recipes.
Just came across and your blog and after seeing this post, I think I’m going to love it here! :)
These look AMAZING! I can not wait to give these a try!
Can’t wait to read more! :)
Holy Cow! I want one of these right now… I think I just drooled on my keyboard. Oops.
These look delicious!! Can’t wait to make them this weekend. :)
Loving this. Preheating the oven now.

How did you know that my birthday is just two days away? These look perfect, and here I was just trying to decide what to bake myself : ) Thanks in advance for the delectable treat!!!
I love you. That is all.
yummmmm those look and sound delicious! You, my girl, are the only person I know who can make cupcakes look adorable just by using a spatula and no tips.
These sound and look AMAZING. Totally worthy of a Friday for some decadence.
