Oreo Mug Cake Recipe FAQ
You’ll use your microwave to make the Oreo Mug Cake- It is super easy and extra fast! No need for your oven or anything else.
If you follow this recipe using 4 oreos, each mug cake contains 242 calories.
To be extra sure, check the brand of your mug and then you can check the manufacturer’s website but as long as it isn’t a plastic mug, you should be fine.
4 mini oreos equal one regular oreo. So if all you have on hand are the mini oreos, you’ll need to use 16 small oreos to make this recipe.
Some recipes probably require it, but the mug cake recipes that I share do not include egg.
If you find your mug cake is rubbery, you either microwaved it for too long or accidentally added too much baking powder.
