Description
This Oreo mug cake is a super quick treat ready in just 1 minute! It’s soft, gooey, and loaded with crushed Oreo cookies—no egg, no oven needed. The perfect last-minute dessert when that sweet craving hits.
Ingredients
- 4 tbsp milk (¼ cup / 60 ml)
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour (⅛ cup / 30 g)
- ¼ tsp baking powder
- 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder (⅛ cup / 25 g)
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar (⅛ cup)
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil (⅛ cup / 30 ml)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 4 Oreo cookies, crushed
Instructions
- In a mug or small bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, cocoa powder, and baking powder.
- Add the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Mix until the batter is smooth and well combined.
- Gently fold in the crushed Oreo cookies and give it a quick stir.
- Microwave the mug cake for 1 to 1.5 minutes at 800 watts, or until the center is just set. Check doneness with a toothpick—it should come out mostly clean.
- Let it cool slightly, then enjoy warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream on top.
Notes
Best enjoyed right away: This Oreo mug cake is at its best when warm, soft, and gooey—straight from the microwave.
Don’t reheat: Reheating tends to dry it out, so it’s best to make and enjoy it fresh.
Not freezer-friendly: This recipe doesn’t hold up well in the freezer due to its quick-cook texture.
Tips for the perfect Oreo mug cake:
- Use a large mug (at least 10 oz) to avoid overflow while microwaving.
- Mix the batter well to get a smooth, lump-free texture.
- Microwave in short bursts (30 seconds at a time) to prevent overcooking.
- Stir in extra Oreo chunks for more crunch and flavor.
- Let it sit for 1–2 minutes before digging in—it’ll finish setting and get fluffier.
- Top with whipped cream, a scoop of vanilla ice cream, or a drizzle of melted chocolate for an even more decadent treat.
