This recipe for No-Egg Oreo Mug Bliss was born out of pure desperation one Tuesday night. It was late, the day had been a day, and I just needed a piece of chocolate cake. The catch? No eggs in the house. My first attempt was a complete disaster—I ended up with a sad, rubbery hockey puck. The second try literally overflowed and I had to spend ten minutes cleaning baked-on batter from the ceiling of my microwave. But the third time… magic. The real secret, the thing that changed everything, was to stop mixing so much. Who knew laziness was the key?

Why This Is The Only Mug Cake I Make

Look, the main reason I keep coming back to this is the speed. It feels like cheating. You’re less than five minutes away from a warm, proper dessert. I also love that it’s just for one person, so I don’t have a half-eaten cake staring me down from the counter all week, judging my life choices. And because it’s an eggless Oreo mug cake, you don’t get that weird, spongy texture that some microwave recipes have. It’s just straight-up soft, chocolatey cake with those melty, cookies-and-cream pockets. Simple as that. It’s the best answer I’ve found for a sudden sweet tooth.

The Stuff You’ll Need

The best part is you likely don’t even have to go to the store. Check your kitchen for this stuff before you start. This is everything for your No-Egg Oreo Mug Bliss:

4 tablespoons All-Purpose Flour

2 tablespoons Sugar
1/2 teaspoon Baking Powder

2 tablespoons Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
A small pinch of Salt
4 tablespoons Milk (I usually use whatever’s in the fridge)

2 tablespoons Vegetable Oil (or another neutral-tasting oil)
3 Oreos, plus one for the top (this is not optional in my house)

How to Actually Make It

Grab a mug that you think is a little too big. This thing puffs up, so you’ll want the extra room to avoid another microwave cleaning session.

Step 1: Dry Ingredients First

First, just dump all the dry things—flour, sugar, cocoa, baking powder, and salt—right into your mug. Use a fork and give it a really good stir. You want to get in there and break up any of those little clumps of cocoa powder before you add anything wet.

Step 2: Now the Wet Stuff

Pour in the milk and oil. Now, and this is important, just mix until the streaks of flour disappear. It’s going to look lumpy and unfinished. You have to fight every instinct you have that’s telling you to keep mixing it until it’s smooth. Don’t do it. Trust me on this.

Step 3: Add the Oreos

Take your three Oreos and just crush them up in your hand as you drop them in. I like a mix of chunky pieces and smaller crumbs. Fold them into the batter with your fork, maybe three or four times. That’s it. Just enough to get them covered in batter.

Step 4: Time to Cook

Plop that last, whole Oreo right on top of the batter. Now, stick it in the microwave. My microwave is a 1000-watt beast and takes about 75 seconds. All microwaves have their own weird personalities, so I’d say start yours at 70 seconds. You can always add another 10 seconds, but you can’t un-cook a rubbery cake. It’s ready when the top looks dry but it’s still a little gooey underneath.

Step 5: Let It Cool for a Second

The mug is going to be incredibly hot, so be careful. Let it sit on the counter for a minute or two. This lets it finish cooking and also saves you from scorching your mouth. I usually eat it right out of the mug while it’s warm.
