- I have never used the oats when making these cupcakes, so I'm not sure how that tastes!

- I usually double this recipe and with the leftover batter, I make a mini 2-layer cake using two aluminium mini-cake pans that my mom buys. Then I use vegan icing and put walnuts in the middle and on top :)

- Oh yea.. walnuts taste really great in these cupcakes! And cinnamon.

Even my whole family loves this recipe since it's so moist.. and my family is very picky and snobby when it comes to "my" food. If you make these cupcakes, let me know how you liked them! :)

So did you just leave them out, or did you substitute with flour?
