Description

This incredibly easy Oreo mug cake transforms crushed cookies and milk into a warm, gooey dessert in just 2 minutes. Perfect for late-night cravings or when you need a quick single-serving treat that actually tastes amazing. The viral TikTok recipe everyone’s talking about!


Ingredients

Scale

68 Oreo cookies, crushed

23 tablespoons whole milk

1 large egg, beaten (optional)

1 tablespoon melted butter (optional)

Pinch of vanilla extract (optional)

Extra Oreo pieces for topping


Instructions

1. Crush Oreo cookies into a mix of fine crumbs and small chunks

2. Place crushed cookies in a microwave-safe ceramic mug

3. Gradually add milk while stirring until mixture reaches thick brownie batter consistency

4. Add beaten egg and melted butter if using for richer texture

5. Stir gently but thoroughly to eliminate dry pockets

6. Microwave for 60-90 seconds depending on your microwave’s wattage

7. Let rest for 30 seconds to allow heat to distribute evenly

8. Top with extra Oreo pieces, whipped cream, or ice cream if desired


Notes

Start with shorter microwave times and adjust based on your appliance

Cake is done when center springs back lightly when touched

Slightly underdone is better than overcooked

For variations, try different Oreo flavors like Golden, Mint, or Peanut Butter

Grease mug lightly to prevent sticking

Use a wide, shallow mug for more even cooking
