Add the milk, oil, and vanilla, then whisk until the batter is smooth.
Fold in the crushed Oreos and stir gently so the pieces are evenly distributed.

- Protein version: Replace 1 tablespoon of flour with chocolate protein powder.
- Nutella twist: Swirl a spoonful of Nutella into the batter for extra richness.

Freezing: Not recommended — the texture doesn’t hold up after freezing.
Tips for the perfect mug cake:
- Use a large mug (at least 10 oz) to prevent overflow while microwaving.
- Mix thoroughly for a smooth, lump-free batter.
- Microwave in short bursts if you’re unsure of your oven’s power to avoid overcooking.
- Add extra Oreo chunks for more texture and flavor.
- Let the cake sit 1–2 minutes before eating so it finishes setting and becomes slightly fluffier.
