What you will need
This recipe uses 5 simple ingredients that you can find at any grocery store:
- 6 cookies Oreo cookies crushed
- 3 tablespoons milk
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 0.25 teaspoon baking powder
Step by step instructions
Step 1: Crush the Oreos
Place Oreo cookies in a microwave-safe mug and crush them finely using a fork or spoon until they resemble coarse crumbs.
Step 2: Mix the Batter
Add flour, milk, vegetable oil, and baking powder to the mug with crushed Oreos and stir everything together until a smooth batter forms with no dry streaks.
Step 3: Microwave the Cake
Microwave on high power for 90 seconds. Check the center for doneness and microwave in additional 15-second intervals if needed until just set.
Step 4: Cool and Serve
Let the mug cake rest for 1 minute before eating as it will be very hot. Top with whipped cream or extra crushed Oreos if desired.
