How To Make A Cookie Mug Cake
This microwave mug cake recipe is as easy as 1, 2, 3!
- Crush cookies into a fine crumb using a food processor.
- Mix all of the ingredients (per recipe below) in a mug. Stir in chocolate chips.
- Microwave a minute at a time until the cake is ‘baked’ and fluffy.
Serve immediately with whipped cream or ice cream.
Recipe Tips
- Choose the dry variety of chocolate chip cookies instead of the chewy kind so the cake rises properly.
- Whole milk (or heavy whipping cream) will give the cake a full-bodied flavor.
- Oat milk can be used for a non-dairy dessert because it’s the creamiest of milk alternatives.
- For a sugar-free mug cake, replace the granulated sugar with an equal amount of erythritol (Swerve). For a keto mug cake, use almond flour, an egg, and butter along with cocoa powder and sugar-free chocolate chips!
- Made without brown sugar, butter, or egg, mug cakes are trending everywhere. Serve with this yummy sparkling berry lemonade , or a delicious peppermint latte.
Time Saving Tips
Grind the cookies in advance add all the dry ingredients together in small zippered bags so a mug cake can be at the ready any time! Perfect for last-minute movie nights, sleepovers, and parties! Just mix with milk, cook, and enjoy!
