Mix the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt in a cup that is safe to use in the microwave until thoroughly blended.

To the cup, add the milk, vegetable oil, and peppermint essence. Mix the batter until it's completely smooth and free of lumps.

Make sure the chocolate chips and crumbled mint Oreo cookies are equally distributed throughout the mixture by gently folding them in.

Once the cake has risen and set in the center, microwave the cup on high for one minute and thirty seconds.

Let the cupcake cool for a minute so that the deliciously minty chocolate flavor may shine through.

For added pleasure, try adding a drizzle of chocolate syrup or a scoop of mint chocolate chip ice cream on top.

With this Chocolate Mint Oreo Extravaganza, indulge in the decadent pairing of chocolate and mint.

The combination of the cold freshness of mint-flavored Oreos with the richness of chocolate in this cupcake is a sensory delight.
