Table of Contents
Ingredients
- Oreo cookies
- Milk
That’s it! Seriously, easy.
How do you make an Oreo mug cake in the microwave?
1. Mug: For this Oreo and milk mug cake, you’ll need a microwave-safe mug that holds at least 8 ounces of liquid.
2. Crush: Place the cookies in the mug and then use a fork to crush them into crumbs. Crush them as much as you can – the smaller, the better.
3. Add the milk and stir. You can crush the cookies more once they soften in the milk.
4. Microwave the mug cake on high power for one minute. Check the cake. It should be solid and not liquidy. If it’s not set, cook it for 30 seconds longer.
5. Cool the cake for at least five minutes before eating it. I love adding some whipped cream to the top!
Recipe Tips
- The cooking time may vary depending on the kind you have. It’s always better to start with less time if you’re not sure, so you don’t overcook the cake.
- Want a fluffier cake texture? Try adding 1/8 teaspoon of baking powder when you add the milk.
- For more richness, add chocolate chips before you cook the cake.
- Dress it up with whipped cream, Cool Whip, or a drizzle of chocolate sauce once the cake is cooled.
- You can make this recipe with any Oreo cookie – Golden Oreos, Mint Oreos, Holiday Oreos… pick your favorite kind!
- You can use your favorite nut milk or other non-dairy milk for this recipe, too.
- If you want to make more than one mug cake, you should cook them separately in the microwave.
- Don’t skip cooling it – it’s SUPER hot straight out of the microwave and tastes better cooled slightly.
FAQ
Yes, they are safe to eat, just like regular cakes baked in an oven. As long as it’s fully baked, there’s nothing to worry about.
Some mug cakes are chewy because they are overcooked. Some recipes have oil, and if there is too much, it can make the cake rubbery, too. Also, know that the cake isn’t a traditional cake texture – it’s cooked Oreos and milk – and won’t taste like a regular cupcake.
Try adding a little splash of vanilla. You can also add chocolate chips to give a mug cake more richness. For a fluffier texture, add 1/8 teaspoon baking powder.
Once you know how to make an Oreo mug cake, you might have to hide the cookies to keep from making it every night. It’s just too easy and too good!

I’ve seen these on Tik Tok but found your recipe. I’m glad I did! Trial and error my first one my cup was to wide. Changed cups and was really good for such an easy hack. My wife is a baker and she told me there’s no way this works. 🤣. I made it and she was stunned! lol.
Right? It’s totally one of those things you have to do to believe. Glad you liked it!
It’s amazing 😍😍
This turned out amazing. Just like a normal cake, I put a scoop of ice cream on top, definitely recommend.
I was skeptical that this would work, but it did! It is remarkably cake-like considering how you make it, though certainly more gooey and dense than a normal cake. I made it with some candy cane Joe-joes (Trader Joe’s brand Oreos) that I have lying around and I definitely think it would taste better with real Oreos, just because I like real Oreos more in general, but it is still pretty good- very minty!
Easy and good added whipped cream and crushed Oreos it’s tastes good it’s 5/5
This recipe seems great but next we have to make a no back one so the littles can make it themselves!
