Ingredients
  

  • You’ll Need:
  • 4 Oreo cookies – The star of the show! Crushed to create that rich chocolatey base.
  • 3 tablespoons of milk – Any kind works here but whole milk adds extra creaminess.
  • 1 tablespoon of sugar – For just the right level of sweetness adjust to taste.
  • 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder – To amplify that chocolate flavor.
  • 1/4 teaspoon of baking powder – Helps the cake rise beautifully in the microwave.
  • 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil – Keeps the cake moist and tender.
  • Optional Add-Ons:
  • A pinch of salt – Balances the sweetness
  • Vanilla extract – A drop or two can add depth to the flavor profile.
  • Chocolate chips or chunks – For melty pockets of chocolate goodness.

Instructions
 

  • Step-by-Step Guide:
  • Prepare the Mug:
  • Lightly grease a microwave-safe mug (at least 12 ounces) with a bit of oil or butter. This prevents sticking and makes cleanup a breeze.
  • Crush the Oreos:
  • Place the Oreo cookies in a resealable bag and crush them into fine crumbs using a rolling pin. Alternatively, use a food processor for a quicker option.
  • Mix the Dry Ingredients:
  • In the mug, combine the crushed Oreos, cocoa powder, sugar, and baking powder. Stir well to ensure everything is evenly distributed.
  • Add the Wet Ingredients:
  • Pour in the milk and vegetable oil. Mix thoroughly with a fork or small whisk until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
  • Optional Mix-Ins:
  • If you’re feeling indulgent, fold in a few chocolate chips or a pinch of salt for added flavor.
  • Microwave the Cake:
  • Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high for 60–90 seconds. Cooking times may vary depending on your microwave, so keep an eye on it! The cake is done when it has risen and appears set on top.
  • Let It Cool:
  • remove the mug from the microwave (it will be hot!). Let the oreo mug cake cool for 1–2 minutes before diving in.
  • Pro Tip:
  • For a soft and moist texture, avoid overcooking. If you’re unsure, check the cake at the 60-second mark and add 5–10 seconds as needed.
