Ingredients:

1 cup of butter

1 cup of brown sugar (packed)

1 cup of sugar

2 eggs

1 tsp of vanilla

2 cups of all purpose flour

1 1/2 tsp of cinnamon

1 tsp of baking soda

1 tsp of salt

3 cups of (uncooked) oats

1/2 bag of mini chocolate chips

1/2 bag of butterscotch chips

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350

Spray mini muffin tins with non-stick cooking spray

Cream together butter and sugars until smooth; beat in eggs and vanilla

In a separate bowl; combine flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon together then beat into the creamed mixture. Stir in oats and chocolate/butterscotch chips

Roll dough into balls and press to flatten into muffin tin

Bake for 11-13 minutes....(makes about 54 mini cupcakes) Note: the center will fall in a bit

 

Let them cool in the muffin tin for about 5 minutes before taking out them out to cool on a cooling rack

Now it's time to make the buttercream frosting!!! Yay! I mean seriously, is there anything better than buttercream frosting?

Ingredients: 

2 sticks of butter

4 cups of powdered sugar

1 tsp of vanilla

1/4 tsp of salt

2-3 tbsp of milk 

Cream together butter and slowly add in the powdered sugar and the rest of the ingredients

I used a piping bag with the 1M Star tip to get the swirls on my cupcakes and added a mini chocolate chip in the center. I will be posting a video soon on how to get the swirls to look like this!

CUTENESS! RIGHT?
