Once the cookies are mashed and the other ingredients added, you’ll need to put the mug in the microwave for a one-minute zap, and voila, you’ll have a tasty, insanely delicious treat. Enjoy it alone, or add some whipped cream and maybe even a little vanilla ice cream.

Are Mug Cakes Supposed To Be Gooey?
Mug cakes are moist and a bit gooey in the center. For best results, allow the mug cake to cool for ten minutes after cooking it in the microwave. This cooling period (even five minutes) helps the cake set up and release some steam before consumption.
How To Make Oreo Mug Cake, Step-By-Step
Step 1: Add four Oreo cookies to a mug. Set aside the fifth Oreo cookie.
Step 2: Pour 1/4 cup milk into the mug over the cookies.
Step 3: Begin mashing the cookies down with a fork until they are well blended with the milk. Smash until all cookies have dissolved into the milk, becoming a liquid.
Step 4: Add the sugar, flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt to the mug. Stir well until incorporated.
Step 5: Take the fifth Oreo cookie and place it in the mug. Push the cookie down into the cake batter until it’s covered.
Step 6: Set the mug in the microwave and cook it for 1 MINUTE only.
Step 7: Remove the mug from the microwave and allow it to sit for five to ten minutes. After that, you can add the OPTIONAL whipped cream, a scoop of ice cream, or chocolate syrup. Enjoy!
