The most basic Oreo mug cake uses:

  • 4–5 Oreos
  • 2–3 tablespoons of milk

Optional for richness:

  • ¼ tsp baking powder (for fluffiness)
  • 1 tbsp cocoa powder (for extra chocolate)

Yes! Substitute with plant-based milks (almond, oat, soy) or even water, though the texture may be slightly less creamy.

Yes—but more like a fudgy brownie meets warm cookie than a fluffy cake. It’s gooey, chocolatey, and deeply satisfying.
