Best Oreo mug cake recipe (no egg)

I’m starting to develop a bit of an addiction to mug cakes. It’s really nice to be able to conjure up a delicious cake so quickly and easily, isn’t it? This Oreo mug cake was another real success!

Oreo mug cake recipe

It’s been years since I shared my very first mug cake recipe with you (or at least it’s been years since I shared it on the Dutch website). Those were a vanilla mug cake recipe and a chocolate mug cake recipe. Many of you have been asking for more mug cakes recipes. While I generally prefer a ‘real’ cake like my favorite vanilla loaf cake, sometimes it is so convenient to whip up a delicious cake in no time at all. Today I am sharing my easy Oreo mug cake recipe.

What do you need for this mug cake?

Now for this Oreo cake you need only a few simple ingredients. That’s the fun of making a mug cake right? It’s such an easy dessert and serve it with a scoop of ice cream for an even better dessert. Or use a big dollop of whipped cream. So good.

  • Oreo cookies – that’s the obvious ingredient!
  • self rising flour – you can also use all purpose flour combined with baking powder
  • granulated sugar
  • milk – you can use regular milk or go for soy milk or almond milk if you prefer.
  • cocoa powder – for that extra chocolate flavor
  • chocolate chips – makes everything better right?

In addition you will also need a microwave-safe mug. I like to use a mug that is roughly a little more than a cup in size.

Making the Oreo mug cake

Now this easy mug cake recipe requires you to mix the ingredients. And that’s about all that there is to it. The only difference is that you need to keep the Oreo cookies and the chocolate chips separate. You can simply mix all the ingredients together in the mug itself.

If you find that a little hard to do you can also use a separate small bowl for mixing the ingredients and then pour it into your mug. You really do not need a food processor for making this. A whisk or spatula is enough.

The microwave will need to be on high power for making the Oreo mug cake. Now how much that is depends on your microwave. For mine that is 800 watt. On that setting it takes a total of 140 seconds (2 minutes and 20 seconds) to make the best Oreo mug cake ever.

TikTok Oreo mug cake

You might have seen the Oreo mug cake trend on TikTok where only two ingredients are used. Crushed Oreos and a cup of milk. While it looks good (haven’t tried this for myself though!) I would think it is not exactly a cake-like texture. It’s more a giant Oreo cookie after it’s been baked in the microwave.

But by all means try this for yourself! If you do want the airy texture of a cake? Try my Oreo microwave cake. I might try the tiktok version next time!

Oreo mug cake

Make this chocolate Oreo cup cake in minutes! Just mix the ingredients in a mug and let the microwave do the rest.
Prep Time5 minutes
Cook Time3 minutes
Total Time8 minutes
Servings: 1 portion

Ingredients 

  • 4 tbsp self-rising flour
  • 3 tbsp sugar
  • 2 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 3 tbsp milk
  • 3 tbsp sunflower oil
  • 3 Oreos
  • 20 grams chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Keep the Oreos and chocolate chips separate. Put all the ingredients in your mug and stir well. If you find it difficult to stir the base well, you can mix everything in a separate bowl.
  • Then mix the Oreos and chocolate chips into the batter, saving half an Oreo for the top of the cupcake.
  • Put the cup in the microwave on full power for 140 seconds (2 minutes and 20 seconds). In my case, that’s 800 watts. The time may vary from one microwave to another. Test your cake with a skewer to see if it is done; if the skewer comes out dry and clean, it is done.
  • Take your mug out of the microwave with an oven glove, it is hot!
Tips

While you do not need to level of the dry ingredients, don't go overboard here. A big pile on top of your spoon is not necessary either.
How to store

The cupcake is best when it has just come out of the microwave and is still nice and warm. When cooled, it dries out and is not nearly as tasty.
