Blueberry Cupcakes with Cinnamon Buttercream Frosting

Not too long ago we had a pot-luck breakfast at work.
I was asked to bring cupcakes.
Wonder why :)

I decided that if you add fruit, then it's totally acceptable to eat a cupcake for breakfast.
My co-workers must have agreed because they were all gone in about 5 minutes.

1 pkg. white cake mix

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Place cupcake liners into cupcake pan.
In a large mixing bowl combine cake mix, eggs, buttermilk and canola oil with an electric mixer.

Using a large cookie scoop, drop batter into liners.
Bake for 18-20 minutes or until toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Place cupcakes on a wire rack to cool.
