Oatmeal Raisin Cinnamon Cupcake

This is another cupcake inspired by one of my favourite childhood cookies. Warning: this recipe contains raisins. It seems that people either love or hate raisins with no middle ground to be found. But I love them, so here's what you'll need to make this sweet take on classic cookie...

• White Cake Mix (plus ingredients to make the cake...usually eggs, oil, and water)
• 2 cups Oats
• 1 cup Raisins
• 1 teaspoon Cinnamon 
• Store Bought Vanilla Icing
• Butter (room temperate...around 1/2 cup....but it's up to you)
• Icing Sugar (optional)
• Garnish Ideas: Raisins, Oatmeal

And now the recipe...

Step 1: Follow the directions on your White Cake Mix from preheating your oven through to adding the oil, eggs, and water. Add in 1 teaspoon of Cinnamon. Mix the ingredients together until smooth. Stir in 2 cups of Oats and then add in 1 cup of Raisins.

Step 2: Spoon the batter into your cupcake liners and bake as directed on the package.  Once they are done baking, let them cool completely.

Step 3: On to the icing. Mix together your vanilla icing and butter on high until smooth.  Taste your icing and if it's it's not sweet enough for you or too buttery add in some icing sugar. Top your cupcake with the icing using any method you like.  To garnish, I sprinkled a few Oats over the icing and topped each cupcake with a single raisin.

Happy Faking!
