Ingredients
- 4 tbsp milk - 1/4 cup (60 ml)

- 2 tbsp sugar - 2 tbsp (1/8 cup)

- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 4 Oreos

- Fold in the Oreo pieces and stir quickly to combine.

Notes
Best Enjoyed Immediately: The Oreo mug cake is best when eaten right after cooking, while it's still warm and gooey.
Do Not Reheat: Reheating the mug cake can make it dry. It's recommended to prepare and enjoy it immediately.
Freezing Not Recommended: This dessert is not suitable for freezing due to its delicate texture after cooking.
Tips:
- Use a large enough mug to prevent the batter from overflowing while cooking.
- Mix the ingredients well to achieve a smooth, lump-free batter.
- Cook in 30-second intervals to monitor doneness and avoid overcooking.
- Add extra Oreo pieces to the batter for an even crunchier and more indulgent effect.
- Let the mug cake rest for 1-2 minutes after cooking to allow it to finish setting and become fluffier.
- Decorate with whipped cream, additional Oreo pieces, or melted chocolate for an extra indulgent dessert.
