#11: Strawberry-Filled Oatmeal Cupcakes

In September of 2009, I started a cupcake adventure. If you haven't read about it yet, you can do so here. ***

The ingredients for these cupcakes look more like breakfast ingredients than anything, so I suppose the following could also be classified as muffins. And as such, you can eat them for breakfast! ;)

But they just look so pretty! Too bad we aren't done yet.

What did I tell you...overflow. Sheesh.

At least when something looks this goofy, it still tastes good. If I make these again, I'll probably divide the batter to twice as many liners!
