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!
