5. This mug cake is will not disappoint. The recipe will surprise you!

6. Oreo mug cake recipe was all rage on Tik-Tok few months back. Waited a while before I jumped in to test in my kitchen why the rage. I now know why the rage. It’s worth trying, really!

7. When you can make sweet treat in less than 5 minutes, you know the recipe is going to be super simple. It’s barely even a recipe if you ask me.

8. It’s so easy that kids can make it on their own, they’ll have fun.

Ingredients needed

Here’s what you’ll need:

  • 4 OREO cookies
  • ¼ cup hot milk
2 ingredients needed to make microwave mug cake recipe

Ingredients additions

Cookies and milk is enough. If you want something extra, add chocolate chips (white or dark) to the mug cake batter.

For fluffier mug cake, use ¼ teaspoon baking powder when you add milk. Baking powder helps in making the cake fluffy and rise.

Add a splash of vanilla extract to make it better.

How to make Oreo mug cake?

  1. Use microwave safe mug that is big enough to cook the cake. Grease it with oil (optional step) and set aside.
  2. I used mini packs which have 5 Oreo cookies. Smash cookies in the packet.  No extra bowl or whisk needed. Less clean up. Jo’s Tip: smash Oreos as fine as possible (almost like flour) so the cake comes out nice and smooth.
  3. Add hot milk. Note: I used a pack of 5 cookies, I added 1 tablespoon extra milk. Important: it’s easy to whisk smooth batter with hot milk even if Oreos is not crushed/smacked fine enough.
  4. Mix well until batter is nice and smooth and no crumbs of are left behind.
  5. Microwave the mug cake on high power for 1 minute. If cake is not set, cook for 10 seconds increments after the first minute until it’s done (cake should be set). DO NOT OVER COOK mug cake. It’ll turn rubbery.
  6. Cool for 2 to 4 minutes before serving. It’ll be very hot.
  7. Serve mug cake as it is. I like it with whipped cream topping and few crushed Oreo pieces. You can use vanilla ice cream.

Expert tips for best Oreo mug cake

  1. Smash/crush Oreos as fine as possible to get smooth cake.
  2. It’s easy to smash Oreo cookies fine by separating the cookie cream center. Smash the cookies, add milk, mix and microwave. Use cookie cream center (whisked) to drizzle as topping.
  3. Want fluffier mug cake? Add ¼ teaspoon baking powder to make mug cake fluffier.
  4. For extra rich and decadent mug cake, add white or dark chocolate chips before you cook the cake.
  5. Best cookie to milk ratio is ¼ cup milk for every 4 Oreo cookies.
  6. Want to make more than one? Use separate mug and cook it separately in microwave.
  7. Want it fancy? Top the mug cake with whipped cream or cool whip or vanilla ice cream. Feel free to drizzle chocolate sauce on it if you like.
  8. Regular milk can be substitute with your favorite milk like almond milk or other non-diary milk.
  9. Cooking time will vary with microwave and the size and shape of the mug. Always start with less time and keep checking if cake is set. DO NOT OVERCOOK mug cake, it will turn rubbery.

    Hi! Can I ask why the milk needs to be hot? Is it just to help get a smooth batter? And did you microwave your milk to heat it? If so, how long did you microwave it?
    Thanks!

      Yes that’s right Sandy. Hot milk helps in getting smooth batter. I microwave milk for 30-45 seconds on high power (time will vary depending on the size of mug you use and ofcourse your microwave too).
