Ingredients
- Oreo cookies
- Milk
- Baking powder
- Mini chocolate chips, optional
- Extra crushed Oreo cookies, optional
Instructions
- Choose a microwave-safe mug with enough extra space at the top for the cake to rise while cooking.
- Place the Oreo cookies in the mug and crush them into fine crumbs with a fork.
- Pour in the milk and stir until the cookie crumbs soften and form a thick, mostly smooth batter.
- Stir in a small amount of baking powder to give the mug cake a lighter texture.
- If desired, gently stir mini chocolate chips or additional Oreo pieces into the batter.
- Microwave on high for 60 to 90 seconds, beginning to check the cake around the 60-second mark.
- Stop cooking when the top looks set and the center is cooked but still soft. Avoid overcooking, which can make the cake dry or rubbery.
- Let the mug cake rest for 1 to 2 minutes before eating because the cake and mug will be hot.
- Finish with additional crushed Oreo pieces or another favorite topping and serve warm.
Notes
- Use a microwave-safe mug with plenty of space above the batter to allow the cake to rise.
- Microwave strengths vary, so begin checking for doneness after about 60 seconds.
- For Chocolate Chip Oreo Mug Cake, stir mini chocolate chips into the batter before microwaving.
- For a peanut butter variation, add a small spoonful of creamy peanut butter to the center of the batter.
- For extra cookie texture, leave some Oreo pieces slightly larger and sprinkle additional crumbs over the finished cake.
- For a cookies-and-cream topping, let the cake cool briefly before adding whipped cream and crushed cookies.
- A small splash of vanilla extract can be added for additional sweet cream flavor.
- Serve soon after cooking for the softest texture.
- If storing leftovers, cover and refrigerate for up to 1 to 2 days and reheat very briefly in the microwave.
