Oatmeal chocolate chip cupcakes with brown sugar buttercream
Cupcakes and muffins
Whoops, another sugar craving. I needed to bake something. But what? Flipping through some of my old recipes usually helps. I came across a recipe for my mom's Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cake, something that sounded scrumptious but honestly I could never remember actually eating, let alone baking. Since cake takes far too much effort, a quick conversion to cupcakes sounded like a good idea. These were the first cupcakes I've baked with eggs & butter since the whole love of cupcakes began. And honestly, they were too dense for me. I like my cupcakes light and airy - the kind of cupcakes that you eat one and wonder where it went. These, you definitely know where it went. That doesn't mean they weren't delicious - the taste made me feel like I was eating a cookie and a cupcake and a cake all at the same time. If I made them again though, I might try modifying one of my vegan cupcake recipes to mimic the same flavors, but without the density. That and I'd use mini chocolate chips. The big ones
