Ingredients You Need for Oreo Mug Cake

This easy mug cake recipe comes together with just a handful of everyday ingredients:

• Unsalted Butter – Adds richness and moisture.
• Greek Yogurt – Adds moisture and slight tang while keeping the cake light.
• Milk – Regular or non-dairy milk both work!
• Vanilla Extract – Enhances the sweet flavors.
• Granulated Sugar – A small amount for the perfect level of sweetness.
• All-Purpose Flour – The base for a soft, fluffy cake.
• Baking Powder – Ensures a nice rise.
• Salt – Just a pinch to balance flavors.
• Oreos – Crushed into crumbs for that classic cookie flavor.

Substitutions & Variations

• Dairy-Free Option: Use almond milk or another non-dairy milk, and swap butter and Greek yogurt for vegan alternatives.
• Sour Cream Alternative: Swap Greek yogurt for an equal amount of sour cream for a slightly tangier flavor and a creamier texture. This option works well if you prefer a richer, more decadent cake!
• Gluten-Free: Use a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend like Bob’s Red Mill for the best texture. Avoid almond or coconut flour, as they alter liquid ratios and can affect consistency.
• Chocolate Lover’s Twist: Add 1 teaspoon of cocoa powder to the batter for a richer, deeper chocolate flavor.
• Oreo Flavor Adventure: Switch up the flavor by using your favorite Oreo variety—try Mint Oreos or Chocolate Peanut Butter Oreos for a fun twist!
• Serving Idea – Top with ice cream, whipped cream, or extra crushed Oreos for an indulgent treat!

How to Make an Oreo Mug Cake

This Oreo mug cake is super easy to make! Here’s how:

1. Melt the butter – In a microwave-safe mug, heat the butter for 20-30 seconds until melted. Stir in the Greek yogurt until smooth. If needed, microwave for an additional 5-10 seconds to fully combine.
2. Mix in the wet ingredients – Quickly whisk in the milk, vanilla extract, and sugar. If the butter starts to solidify, microwave for another 10-15 seconds.
3. Add dry ingredients – Stir in flour, baking powder, and salt until combined.
4. Fold in the crushed Oreos – Mix gently for an even distribution.
5. Microwave – Heat for 80-90 seconds until the top of the cake looks set but slightly moist.
6. Cool & enjoy – Let the cake cool for a couple of minutes before diving in!

All microwaves vary in power, so cooking times may differ. Start with the lower time and adjust as needed to avoid overcooking. Overcooked mug cakes can become dry and rubbery, losing their fluffy texture.

Cream Cheese Variation

If you want a decadent, ultra-creamy version of this mug cake, you can swap the Greek yogurt for 2 tablespoons of softened cream cheese. This will give your cake a richer, slightly cheesecake-like flavor. To make this version:

• Melt the butter and cream cheese together in the microwave for 30-40 seconds until softened. Stop and stir once during heating to prevent splattering and ensure even melting.
• Stir until smooth, then proceed with the recipe as written.

Pro Tips for the Best Mug Cakes

• Use a large microwave-safe mug – Your cake will rise as it cooks, so a 12 to 14-ounce mug prevents overflow.
• Don’t overmix the batter – Stir until just combined to keep the cake light and fluffy.
• Microwave in short bursts if needed – If unsure, start with a lower cooking time and add a few extra seconds as needed. Overcooking can result in a dry, rubbery texture, so it’s best to check for doneness early.
• Let it rest before eating – Mug cakes continue to set for a minute or two after microwaving. This helps the texture stabilize, making the cake fluffier and ensuring the inside isn’t too hot when you take a bite.
• Experiment with add-ins – A sprinkle of semi-sweet chocolate chips, a drizzle of peanut butter, or a pinch of cinnamon can add extra flavor!

Serving Suggestions

This single-serve cake is delicious on its own, but here are some ways to make it even better:

• Add a full Oreo to the center of the batter before microwaving. As it cooks, the Oreo will soften and blend slightly into the cake, creating a gooey, chocolatey center that makes every bite extra delicious!
• A big dollop of Cool Whip or vanilla ice cream
• Drizzle of chocolate syrup or caramel sauce
• Crushed Oreos sprinkled on top
