For the cupcakes: If your oats are whole, make sure you process them until they are a flour consistency first. Add all cupcake ingredients until you get a smooth, thick batter. Pour into 10 muffin moulds until each is 3/4 full. 2. Bake at 160 C / 320 F for about 35-40 minutes or until a skewer inserted comes out clean. Let cool. 3. For frosting, process all the frosting ingredients together until very smooth. 4. Scoop the frosting into a plastic sandwich bag with a piping nozzle stuck in one corner and frost the cupcakes.
