World's Best Chocolate Oatmeal Cupcake
Report
These chocolate oatmeal cupcakes are rich, moist, and phenomenal! The quick oats lend a moistness and richness to the batter, though you won't taste the oats. The frosting turns into a layer of chocolate softness with a slightly crisp exterior. YUM!

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350. Line muffin tins and set aside.
- In a bowl, combine quick oats with very hot coffee, stir well, and let stand. Cover to keep warm.
- Meanwhile: In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream butter and both sugars with paddle attachment, until smooth and creamy. Add vanilla and eggs, and mix well.
- Add flour, baking soda, salt, and cocoa straight into mixing bowl, and mix with paddle attachment just until incorporated (do not over mix)
- Add hot oat/coffee mixture to batter and mix until incorporated. Add mini chocolate chips, and stir by hand. If your oat/coffee mixture was warm enough, the mini chips should melt into batter during stirring.
- Divide batter into lined muffin tins, filling almost to the tops. Bake approx. 18-20 minutes, or just until a toothpick inserted in centers comes out with few moist crumbs attached (not completely clean.)
- Let cool in muffin tins.
- To make the frosting: In a heavy saucepan, melt butter, sugar, and milk together over medium-low heat, stirring constantly. Bring to a boil, and immediately reduce heat to low. Add mini chocolate chips and marshmallows, constantly stirring until melted and smooth. Remove from heat, and allow frosting to cool about 10 minutes.
- Stir again, and use frosting while it's quite warm (not liquid, but not crystallized yet.) Spread onto tops of cupcakes, and let cool.
