Oreo Mug Cake Quick (Printable)

A soft, chocolatey Oreo dessert made in minutes using simple ingredients and a quick microwave method.

# What You'll Need:

→ Base

01 - 4 Oreo cookies
02 - 3 tablespoons milk
03 - 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
04 - 1 tablespoon granulated sugar (optional)
05 - 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
06 - 1 small egg
07 - 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

# How-To Steps:

01 - Place Oreo cookies in a microwave-safe mug and crush them completely with a fork until finely crumbled.
02 - Add milk to the crushed cookies and stir until the mixture becomes a thick, soaked paste.
03 - Incorporate flour, sugar if using, and baking powder into the mixture until fully combined.
04 - Add the egg and vanilla extract, then stir until the batter is smooth and homogeneous.
05 - Microwave on high for 1 minute 30 seconds. Check that the cake is set but moist; if necessary, heat for an additional 10 to 20 seconds.
06 - Let the cake cool for 1 to 2 minutes before enjoying directly from the mug.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • Ready to eat in five minutes flat, because sometimes dessert urgency is real.
  • No stand mixer, no fancy equipment, just a fork and the mug you're probably drinking coffee from.
  • Tastes like you spent an hour baking when you actually spent three minutes crushing cookies.
02 -
  • Microwave power varies wildly, so the first time you make this, check it at one minute to see how close you are to done.
  • Underbaking it slightly is better than overbaking—a tiny bit of gooeyness in the middle is the whole point, not a mistake.
03 -
  • If you only have self-rising flour, use it and skip the baking powder entirely—one or the other, not both.
  • A slightly underbaked center stays fudgy and rich, while the edges stay cakey, giving you two textures in one bite.
