Equipment

  • 1 oven
  • 1 muffin tin
  • 12 cupcake liners
  • 2 mixing bowls
  • 1 electric mixer
  • 1 measuring cups
  • 1 measuring spoons
  • 1 rubber spatula
  • 1 cooling rack

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup old-fashioned oats
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup brown sugar packed
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup unsalted butter softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter softened (for filling)
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for filling)
  • 2 tablespoons milk (for filling)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
  • In a small bowl, combine the oats and milk. Let them sit for about 10 minutes to soak.
  • In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy (about 3-4 minutes).
  • Beat in the eggs one at a time, then add vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
  • In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the soaked oats, until just combined.
  • Spoon the batter into the prepared cupcake liners, filling each about ⅔ full.
  • Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cupcakes to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack to cool completely.
  • For the cream filling, beat the softened butter with an electric mixer until creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk, mixing until smooth and fluffy.
  • Once the cupcakes are completely cooled, use a small knife or a cupcake corer to create a small hole in the center of each cupcake.
  • Fill each hole with the cream filling, then replace the top part you removed.
  • Optional: top with additional cream filling or icing, if desired.

Notes

For added flavor, consider mixing in a handful of raisins or chocolate chips into the cupcake batter.
Store cupcakes in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate them for longer freshness.
