Recipe Card
Prep time: 2 mins | Cook time: 2 mins | Total time: 4 mins | Servings: 1
Ingredients:
4-5 Oreo cookies (classic or Double Stuf)
3-4 tablespoons milk (dairy or plant-based)
1/4 tsp baking powder (this makes it fluffy)
Optional: a pinch of salt, a few chocolate chips on top
Instructions:
Crush Oreos: In a microwave-safe mug (at least 12-oz capacity), place the Oreo cookies. Use a fork or the back of a spoon to crush them into fine crumbs.
Add Milk: Add 3 tablespoons of milk and the baking powder to the crushed Oreos. Mix well with your fork until you have a thick, relatively smooth batter. If the batter seems too dry, add the fourth tablespoon of milk.
Add Toppings: Optional: sprinkle a few chocolate chips or press an extra Oreo into the center of the batter.
Microwave: Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high power for 60-90 seconds. The exact time depends on your microwave’s wattage; start with 60 seconds and add 15-second intervals if the batter is still wet on top. The cake will rise significantly while cooking.
Cool and Serve: Let the cake cool for at least one minute before eating, as it will be very hot. Serve as is, or top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of chocolate syrup.
