🧾 Ingredients Needed
I’ve highlighted a couple of ingredients below with some relevant notes. Aside from this, the ingredients needed are pretty basic.
- Oreo Cookies – We used regular Oreos for this recipe, but you could easily change it up with Golden Oreos or seasonally flavored Oreos like Pumpkin Spice.
- Milk – We used whole milk for this recipe, but you could easily switch it out for your preferred milk. Please note that using non-dairy milk might change the consistency of the Oreo mug cake.
📖 Substitutions
Sometimes substitutions are necessary because of ingredients that are unavailable or needed for dietary restrictions. Here are some suggestions that can help:
- Oreos – As I mentioned above, playing around with different types of Oreos could easily change up this recipe.
- Milk – Change up this recipe by using your favorite milk, such as almond milk or soy milk! Or add some extra creamy flavor by using half and half or whipping cream instead of milk.
📖 Variations
Something that makes this easy Oreo microwave mug cake recipe so awesome is that it can easily be doubled. Make yourself a bigger batch to share (or to keep for yourself) by doubling, adding to a larger mug, and then adding 30-second increments to the cooking time in the microwave.
Another alteration you can make would be adding a few extra ingredients to the mug cake, such as chocolate chips or a swirl of peanut butter! Although, for the sake of this recipe, you’ll get the best results by sticking to the how-to.
