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!

Recipe Nutrition
This Oreo Mug Cake might replace the usual way of eating cookies and milk. You make it in the microwave for the best dessert for one ever.
It’s pretty good, I was pretty surprised when it solidified with no flour. It was delicious!
Honestly, it tastes like a normal Oreo Shake .I would rather eat simple oreos if this such a simple and normal recipe is there.
Umm, It’s Good!!
Mate that was the worst cake I have ever had and I had to put it in for about 4 minutes to make it look a tiny bit like the one you advertised it was horrible it was so chewy I couldn’t even swallow it
So it definitely cooked too long – that’s what made it rubbery/chewy. It’s not a real “cake” – it’s made with Oreos and milk. It’s going to be a different texture than a fluffy chocolate cake.
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!
