Oreo Mug Cake Ingredients & Tested Substitutions

Gluten-Free Oreos: I used gluten-free Oreo cookies for a celiac-friendly version, but regular Oreos or different Oreo flavors (like golden Oreos or mint Oreos) work just as well.

Almond Milk: Any non-dairy milk (like oat milk, soy milk, or whole milk) will do. Choose your favorite brand, it doesn’t need to be fancy.

Optional toppings: Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or a drizzle of chocolate sauce for an extra treat.

Oreo Mug Cake Step by Step Instructions

1. Crush the Oreos. Add 5 Oreos to a resealable plastic bag and use a rolling pin to crush them into pieces, no need to create fine crumbs. Or just crush them in the mug with a spoon!

2. Add Milk. Pour in 2 tablespoons of almond milk (or milk of choice) and stir gently to combine.

3. Microwave. Microwave in a microwave-safe mug for 45 seconds. If it’s still gooey on top, heat in 5-second intervals up to 60 seconds; cooking time will vary based on your microwave power. The texture should resemble a just cooked cake, meaning it will be a thick batter but should not be too moist.

4. Cool and Top. Let the oreo cake cool for 3–5 minutes. Then top with cool whip, a scoop of ice cream, or just grab a spoon and dig in. Don't forget to serve alongside a cold glass of milk to wash it down!

Expert Tips, Tricks & Favorite Add Ins

• Use a large mug to avoid overflow. The mug cake puffs up slightly as it cooks, so the best way to avoid your mug over flowing is to use a large mug. Mine was around 12 ounces when I tested this recipe.
• Don’t overcook! The mug cake will firm up as it cools. You will not need longer than 60 seconds, but I found 45 seconds to be perfect. It's better to cook it for less time than to over do it.
• For extra richness, stir in 1 teaspoon cocoa powder or a pinch of brown sugar before microwaving.
• Want protein? Add 1-2 tablespoons of chocolate or vanilla protein powder or swirl in peanut butter for a sneaky protein boost.
• ​Swap in gluten free golden oreos for a flavor twist on this delicious oreo mug cake.
• Add extra oreos or more crushed oreos to the top of the mug cake along with whipped cream and a drizzle of chocolate syrup when that late-night craving hits hard!

How to Store Oreo Mug Cakes

Not that you’ll have leftovers, but if you do, cover the mug with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Reheat gently or enjoy chilled with a spoon like chocolate truffle cake.

Oreo Mug Cake Recipe FAQs

Any milk works! I used almond milk, but whole milk, soy, or even oat milk will give great results.
