Ingredients You’ll Need
Here’s what you need for this Oreo Mug Cake:
- 4-5 Oreo cookies (Yep, you heard right!)
- 1/4 cup milk (60ml)
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon sugar (optional, for extra sweetness)
- 1/2 tablespoon vegetable oil (or melted butter)
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- Whipped cream or ice cream (optional for topping)
The Step-by-Step Process
Let’s break down how to make this simple yet delicious Oreo Mug Cake.
- Crush the Oreos: Place 4-5 Oreos into a microwave-safe mug. Use a spoon or fork to break them into small pieces. Don’t worry if they’re not perfectly crushed—we’re going for a rustic, homemade vibe!
- Add the milk: Pour 1/4 cup of milk over the crushed Oreos. Mix well until the Oreos soften and the mixture becomes chocolatey.
- Add the dry ingredients: Stir in 2 tablespoons of flour and 1/4 teaspoon of baking powder. Keep stirring until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
- Add sweetness and richness: If you’re feeling extra indulgent, stir in 1 tablespoon of sugar and 1/2 tablespoon of vegetable oil (or melted butter). If you love vanilla, add a splash of vanilla extract for a little extra flavor.
- Microwave magic: Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high for 1 minute to 1 minute 15 seconds. The cake should rise and be set on top, but still soft and moist inside. Keep an eye on it to avoid overcooking.
- Top it off: Once your mug cake is out of the microwave, let it cool for a minute. Then, if you’re feeling fancy, top it with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream. Trust me, it’s worth it!
Customization Ideas
This recipe is totally flexible, so don’t be afraid to get creative. Here are a few ways you can customize your Oreo Mug Cake:
- Extra Oreo Crunch: Crumble an extra Oreo on top before microwaving for more of that signature crunch.
- Peanut Butter Swirl: Add a spoonful of peanut butter to the batter before microwaving for a peanut butter-chocolate twist.
- Chocolate Chips: Stir in some chocolate chips for extra gooey goodness.
- Caramel Drizzle: Top your mug cake with a drizzle of caramel sauce for an even richer dessert experience.
Microwave Tips for Success
Microwaves can vary in power, so the cooking time might differ slightly. Start with 1 minute and check the cake. If it still looks a little too wet, cook it for another 10 seconds. You don’t want to overcook it, as the cake will continue to cook a little after you take it out of the microwave.
Oreo Mug Cake FAQ
Can I make this mug cake without flour?
Yes, you can skip the flour, but the cake will have a more pudding-like texture rather than a cake consistency. If you like gooey desserts, this can be a fun variation!
Can I use almond milk instead of regular milk?
Absolutely! Almond milk, oat milk, or any non-dairy milk works just fine. The texture and flavor will still be great.
Can I add more Oreos?
Of course! You can add an extra Oreo or two if you want a stronger Oreo flavor or a little more crunch.
Why is my mug cake dry?
If your mug cake turns out dry, it was likely overcooked. Try reducing the microwave time by 10-15 seconds and checking again.
Can I make this mug cake vegan?
Yes! Just replace the milk with any plant-based milk and use a dairy-free version of Oreos. You can swap the vegetable oil with a neutral-flavored oil like coconut oil.
