Introduction

This Oreo Mug Cake is a quick and delightful treat perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth in just minutes. Made with crushed Oreo cookies and a few simple ingredients, it’s an easy dessert you can enjoy anytime without the fuss of baking.

A white mug filled with a layered dessert or drink, starting with a dark, crumbly layer likely made of crushed chocolate cookies at the bottom, topped by a thick, fluffy layer of white whipped cream reaching the rim. On the whipped cream, there are pieces of whole and crumbled chocolate sandwich cookies scattered, some embedded in the cream, adding texture and contrast. A gold spoon is placed inside the mug on the right side. The mug sits on a white marbled surface with some cookie crumbs around, creating a cozy and inviting scene. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

⅔ cup Oreo cookie crumbs (finely crushed, about 8 cookies)
1 tablespoon mini chocolate chips

¼ teaspoon baking powder
⅓ cup whole milk

Squirt whipped topping (as desired)
1 Oreo cookie (roughly crushed for garnish)

Instructions

Step 1: In a 10 to 12 ounce microwave-safe mug, add the finely crushed Oreo cookie crumbs and whole milk. Stir thoroughly until well combined to create the base mixture.
Step 2: Mix in the mini chocolate chips and baking powder, stirring again to evenly distribute all ingredients throughout the batter.
Step 3: Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high power for 1 minute and 45 seconds, allowing the cake to rise and set into a soft, moist consistency.

Step 4: Let the Oreo mug cake cool for 30 seconds after microwaving. Top with a generous squirt of whipped topping and sprinkle the roughly crushed Oreo cookie pieces on top for extra texture and flavor.

Tips & Variations

For a richer flavor, use half-and-half or cream instead of whole milk.
Try adding a pinch of cinnamon or a splash of vanilla extract to enhance the taste.

Substitute mini chocolate chips with chopped dark or white chocolate for variety.

Storage

This mug cake is best enjoyed fresh. If you have leftovers, cover the mug with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 1 day. Reheat in the microwave for about 20-30 seconds before serving.

FAQs

Can I use a different type of cookie instead of Oreos?

Yes, you can substitute with any chocolate sandwich cookie or crushed cookies of your choice, but keep in mind the flavor will change accordingly.

Is it possible to make this cake without a microwave?

While the recipe is designed for the microwave, you can bake it in a preheated oven-safe ramekin at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-12 minutes, but the texture may differ slightly.
