Preheat the oven to 325°F. Line a cupcake pan with 9 cupcake liners.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the brownie mix, avocado oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Stir until the batter is smooth.
Fold in the chocolate chips.
Distribute the batter evenly between the 9 cupcake liners. The liners should be a little over ¾ full.
Bake for 25-30 minutes. For fudgier cupcakes, bake for 20-25 minutes.
Let the cupcakes cool for 10 minutes before moving them to a cooling rack to cool completely before frosting.
To make the frosting, beat the softened butter in a mixing bowl until it is light and creamy. Beat in the cream cheese and powdered sugar until a smooth, fluffy frosting is formed. Beat in the vanilla extract.
Pipe or spread the frosting on the cupcakes. Enjoy! Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge.
