All You Need Is Milk and Crushed Oreos to Make TikTok's Favorite Microwave Mug Cake

By Victoria Messina

When it comes to homemade dessert, the easier the recipe is, the more inclined I am to attempt making it. I usually don't want to fuss with pulling out a bulky mixer or doling out baking powder, so imagine my excitement when I discovered one of TikTok's favorite sweet treats as of late: the two-ingredient Oreo mug cake. The impossibly simple dessert only calls for Oreos and milk — yep, that's it! If you're looking to satisfy your sweet tooth in a pinch, follow these simple steps to make your very own Oreo mug cake at home in a matter of minutes.

  • Put a handful of your favorite Oreos in a mug (about 6-8, depending on your mug's size).
  • Fill the mug halfway with the milk of your choice, and use a fork to crush up the cookies into small chunks. Continue smashing and stirring until it forms a smooth batter with some Oreo bits mixed in.
  • Microwave the mug for around one to two minutes, depending on your microwave's strength. Check on the mixture while it cooks as needed.
  • Safely remove it from the microwave, and dig in!

The resulting concoction is a moist cake-like substance that's practically begging to be topped with whipped cream, caramel syrup, ice cream, sprinkles, or whatever your heart desires. Plus, you're not restricted to just the original Oreos — I mean, imagine how tasty it'd be if made with crushed-up tiramisu-flavored Oreos or even the glittery Trolls-themed cookies that came out earlier this year! In case you need any more motivation to try out this easy dessert recipe yourself, check out a few videos ahead to see the various Oreo mug cake combinations that are taking over TikTok and Instagram. Fair warning: drooling may ensue.
