A cookie, but made into a warm, gooey cake? Sign me up!
Look, when you're snacky (is that a word?), I know it's easy to open a pack of Oreos and go to town. But, with 2 extra minutes and a couple of ingredients you probably already have, you can make a dessert that's dialed up a few notches.
Friends - when you've got a craving, Oreo Mug Cake is where it's at.
I hear this went popular on Tik Tok not long ago. I had no idea until I started researching this recipe! I'm a sucker for a good Tik Tok hack, and I'd definitely put this easy dessert in that category.
What's so great about Oreo Mug Cake?
This recipe is a keeper for a few reasons...
- It's crazy easy! Who knew you could have cake in under 5 minutes?!
- You get the best of both worlds. Get a creamy, vanilla-like element and rich chocolate in one bite. If you love cookies and cream ice cream, this is the dessert for you! It has almost a brownie consistency, with a crunchy outside and warm, gooey inside.
- It's single-serve. No need to make a whole dessert when you have a sweet tooth.
Step-by-Step Directions
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 2 Oreo cookies
- 2 tablespoon flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar
Instructions
In a microwave-safe mug, combine melted butter and milk.
Add one Oreo cookie. Crush into milk/butter with a fork, until combined and stir-able.
Add flour and sugar and stir lightly until mixed.
Gently press remaining Oreo cookie into center of the batter, until just covered.
Microwave for 60 seconds. Top with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
Substitutions and Variations
Change it up a little!
- Use one of the many flavored Oreos instead of the traditional chocolate cookies. This is so good with the strawberry, chocolate peanut butter pie, and even birthday cake Oreos.
- Make the recipe lactose-free by using almond milk (or another non-dairy milk) instead of dairy milk and coconut oil instead of butter. This swap also makes the recipe vegan!
- Want your mug cake to have an extra gooey texture? Omit the flour (trust me, it works!).
- If you want to reduce the sugar content a little, substitute stevia for the granulated sugar.
Useful Tips and Tricks
- Add in other fun ingredients! This cake would be great with extra chocolate chips, Nutella, or marshmallows stirred into the cake batter. Half a tablespoon of unsweetened cocoa powder would also give it an extra chocolate kick.
- Small adjustments in cook time can change the texture of your mug cake. With my 1100 watt microwave, 60 seconds is just about perfect. Take 10 seconds off to have a gooey, lava-style brownie cake. Add 10 seconds for a more solid, "cakey" cake.
- I love topping the finished mug cake with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. Add extra crushed Oreos on top to make it extra pretty and give it a little bit of crunch.
- Make the Oreos even easier to mix by pulsing cookie in the food processor or blender before mixing into the butter & milk.
- For easy clean-up, give your mug a light coat of cooking spray before making the cake.
