Don’t worry , these aren’t actual ghosts. They are – as hard as it may be to believe – super spooky ghost cupcakes. No, seriously they are.

Preheat the oven to 180°C & line a cupcake tray with 12 cases.
Add the oats into a food processor, & blitz until you have a fine oat flour.
Place the oat flour into a large mixing bowl & stir in the self-raising flour, cacao powder, sugar & baking soda.
In a jug, mix together the milk, melted butter & vanilla. Pour into the dry ingredients & mix until well combined.
Divide the mixture between the 12 cupcake cases, then put in the oven to bake for 15 minutes.
Decorate each marshmallow with icing and edible eyes to make the spooky ghost faces.
Leave the cupcakes to rest on a wire rack to cool before decorating.
Once the cupcakes are cool, mix together the icing sugar & water in a bowl. The icing should have a thick consistency. If it’s too runny, add more icing sugar to the bowl little by little until it’s thick enough.
Put 1 tsp of icing onto the top of each cupcake, letting some creep down the side, then place 1 marshmallow ghost head on the top.
Leave to set & enjoy!
