Equipment

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

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar packed
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened (for cream filling)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract for cream filling
  • 2 tablespoons marshmallow fluff optional

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
  • In a bowl, combine rolled oats, flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Mix well and set aside.
  • In another mixing bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
  • Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with milk, and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  • Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners, filling them about two-thirds full.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let the cupcakes cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack to cool completely.
  • While the cupcakes cool, prepare the cream filling. In a mixing bowl, beat together the softened butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and marshmallow fluff (if using) until smooth and creamy.
  • Once the cupcakes are completely cool, use a piping bag or a simple spoon to fill the center of each cupcake with the cream filling.
  • Optionally, you can top each filled cupcake with a dollop of additional cream filling for decoration.

Notes

Store the cupcakes in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
For a fun twist, add chocolate chips to the cupcake batter or sprinkle the cream filling with mini chocolate chips.
