Whipped Frosting
- 1 cup of whipping cream

- 1 teaspoon of coffee
- 1 package of pudding mix
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1 small pinch of salt
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tins with cupcake liners.
-
In a bowl, combine the rolled oats and hot brewed coffee. Let it sit for about 10-15 minutes until the oats are soft and have absorbed most of the coffee.
-
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, salt, baking soda, baking powder, cocoa powder, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract.
-
Add the soaked oats and coffee mixture to the wet ingredients and mix until combined.
-
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
-
Fold in the chocolate chips.
-
Fill each cupcake liner about 2/3 full with the batter.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.
-
Allow the cupcakes to cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Make the frosting:
- In a mixing bowl, gently whisk the instant coffee into cream and milk until dissolved.
-
Stir in vanilla, salt and pudding mix. Whip until stiff peaks form.Serve immediately, or refrigerate until ready to serve. These cupcakes are best enjoyed within a couple of days and stored in the fridge.
Notes
For the best results for the frosting, place the mixing bowl in the freezer for at least 20 minutes before making – it will help it set and makes it better for piping. Makes 18 cupcakes using a 5.5 Tbsp Cookie Dough Scoop for batter portions.
