Milo Cupcakes

My SMALL FAN has recently started swimming class. So we make it a family outing every saturday to go swimming together Hubby, Mommy & Baby FAN (while SMALL FAN is in his swimming class).  After swimming however, the kids get really hungry and is always asking for food.  So decided to baked some cupcakes so that I could bring it to the pool and they can eat it after the swim.  Modified my chocolate oatmeal cupcakes recipe and replace the cocoa with Milo, and wah lah....MILO Cupcakes...Yum.
