Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 6 Oreo cookies (any flavor)
- 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) milk (dairy or non-dairy)
Leavening and Seasoning:
- 1/4 teaspoon (1.25 milliliters) baking powder
- 1/8 teaspoon (0.625 milliliters) salt (optional, adjust to taste)
Instructions
- Select a microwave-safe mug and thoroughly crush Oreo cookies into fine crumbs or chunks using a fork or spoon.
- Pour milk into the crushed Oreos and blend thoroughly until a uniform paste develops.
- Incorporate baking powder and salt into the mixture, stirring until completely smooth and well integrated.
- Place the mug in the microwave and heat on HIGH for approximately 90 seconds, watching carefully to prevent overcooking.
- Check cake’s consistency – it should appear set but remain slightly soft in the center.
- Remove from microwave and allow the mug cake to rest for 1 minute, which enables additional gentle cooking and helps stabilize the texture.
- The cake will continue to set during the resting period, creating a moist and tender dessert ready to be enjoyed directly from the mug.
Notes
- Experiment with crushing Oreos into different sizes for varied mouthfeel, from chunky to fine crumbs, to discover your perfect cake consistency.
- Select whole milk for richer flavor or use dairy alternatives like almond or oat milk for dietary preferences without compromising moisture.
- Test your specific microwave’s power by starting with 70-80 seconds and incrementally increasing time to prevent overcooking and maintain a soft, moist center.
- Swap regular Oreos with gluten-free or vegan cookie options to accommodate different nutritional needs while keeping the recipe’s core simplicity.
