Quick, indulgent chocolatey dessert made with Oreo cookies and simple ingredients, ready in minutes.

# List of Ingredients:

→ Base

01 - 4 Oreo cookies
02 - 3 tablespoons whole milk
03 - 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
04 - 1 tablespoon granulated sugar (optional)
05 - 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
06 - 1 small egg
07 - 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

# How to Make It:

01 - Place Oreo cookies in a microwave-safe mug and crush thoroughly with a fork until finely crumbled.
02 - Add milk to the crushed Oreos and mix until a thick paste forms and cookies are fully soaked.
03 - Stir in flour, granulated sugar if using, and baking powder until evenly combined.
04 - Mix in the egg and vanilla extract if using, blending until the batter is smooth and uniform.
05 - Microwave on high power for 1 minute 30 seconds. Check for doneness; the cake should be set but moist. If needed, microwave an additional 10 to 20 seconds.
06 - Allow the mug cake to cool for 1 to 2 minutes before serving directly from the mug.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It takes literally five minutes from craving to eating, no excuses about not having time.
  • Oreos do most of the flavor work, so you get decadent chocolate taste without actual baking skills.
  • One mug means one person gets spoiled without leftovers tempting you all week.
02 -
  • Microwave power varies wildly, so the first time you make this, check at the 1 minute 15 second mark instead of walking away—every microwave has a personality.
  • Overmixing after you add the egg can toughen the cake, so stop stirring the moment everything is combined and uniform.
03 -
  • Use a mug that's at least 10 ounces so the cake has room to rise without overflowing and making your microwave a sugary mess.
  • If your mug has a glaze or decorative paint, make sure it's microwave-safe—some paints aren't and can leach into your food.
