Milk and Oreos go hand in hand as a snack, but they’re even tastier when combined into a mug cake. It’s the perfect warm, gooey, decadent treat. The good news is that it takes all of 5 minutes to make it. Once you try it, you’ll never go back to simply dunking the cookies in milk. Here’s how to make the mug cake, along with a few ways to customize it to your flavor preferences.
Ingredients:
- • 5 Oreo cookies
- • ½ cup milk
Directions:
- • Place 4 cookies in a small mug and crush with a fork or the end of a rolling pin until it resembles coarse crumbs. Add milk and stir until cake batter-like mixture forms.
- • Place mug in the microwave and cook for 1 minute. Cake should be slightly risen, and a toothpick should come out clean after being inserted. If cake isn’t done, microwave at 10-second intervals until fully cooked.
- • Top with remaining cookie and enjoy immediately. Since this is a treat that’s just for you, it’s easy to upgrade it to include what you like.
Here are some suggestions:
- • Swap Oreos for Golden Oreos if you prefer a vanilla version of the mug cake.
- • Place a small handful of chocolate chips in the middle of the cake before microwaving for added richness and a gooey center.
- • Pour warm fudge or caramel sauce over the cooked mug cake and an extra touch of decadence.
- • A pinch of coarse sea salt can turn your mug cake into a sweet and salty wonder.
- • To balance the mug cake’s sugary flavor, top it with fresh berries.
- • For a nutty flavor and added crunch, sprinkle your favorite crushed nuts on top of the mug cake.
- • Place a dollop of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream onto the warm mug cake for a touch of creaminess.
