Microwave Oatmeal Cookie is a quick, easy, and healthy cookie made in the microwave. It only serves one, so there’s no need to make extra cookies you don’t need. Add chocolate chips or raisins for a little something extra. Great dorm room recipe.

There are times when I need dessert (which happens pretty often), and I don’t want to turn on the oven or do much work.
While I usually have some sort of dessert hanging around my kitchen since I’m always testing recipes, sometimes I am in the mood for a cookie.
And this is exactly what I love to satisfy that craving…
Microwave Oatmeal Cookie
This oatmeal cookie made in the microwave is perfect for those times!
Plus it takes less than 5 minutes and serve just one, meaning you don’t have to worry about making extra cookies you don’t need.
Oh and it’s 100% whole grain, dairy-free, soy-free, egg-free, nut-free, and can be gluten-free (see note and be sure to use certified gluten-free ingredients).
The cookie in the picture is made with brown rice flour, but I normally use white whole wheat flour.
I just wanted to double check that the brown rice flour cookie turned out normal 😉

I don’t eat microwave oatmeal cookies only for dessert, though!
Like the broiled grapefruit, this cookie is good anytime of the day, especially breakfast. And it has much less sugar than most cereals.
I prefer mine with chocolate chips, but you could certainly use raisins if that’s your thing.

This was so good. It’s a good thing I ran out of oatmeal so that I didn’t make 12 more! I may or may not have added more chocolate chips than were called for. I’ll admit to nothing.
Haha!! This made me laugh out loud. I feel the exact same way. I’m so happy you liked it 🙂
hi! is it okay if i don’t put baking powder on it? will it ruin the whole thing? I only got oatmeal, flour, cinnamon powder, brown sugar. 🙂 or I’ll just experiment on this
I think you should be ok, but it just might not rise as much. Let me know how your experimenting goes 🙂
I’m all in for a cookie I can eat for breakfast! It looks delicious! 🙂
Thanks Kalee!! Cookie for breakfast always wins the morning 🙂
Why have I never made a microwave breakfast cookie!? Ah! So fun and so good in a snap! Rest assured, I’ll be remedying this soon!
You must try this as soon as possible! So easy and so delicious!
DROOLING! I’m so glad I saw this near the end of my day. I don’ think I could wait multiple hours to go home & try this recipe!
Haha!! I hope you enjoy 🙂 xxxo
These are dangerous!!! Pinning these for Doug, because he just finished a half dozen cookies. Single serving is definitely the way to go!
Single serving cookies are my savior! I love cookies too much to have a bunch hanging around my house. I’d totally down half a dozen too 😉
Just tried this recipes! Thank you soo much! It turned out amazing!
I sprinkled some salt on top just before popping it in the microwave – because I like that slight saltiness 😉
Oh yay!!! I’m SO happy you enjoyed it 🙂
Love the idea to add a little salt on top! YUM!
I ran out of granola for my yogurt & berries so I tried your recipe. I forgot to add the baking powder but it was still very tasty. I included a cut up dried apricot too!
I am SO happy you enjoyed it!! I love the idea to add dried apricot; I’ll have to try that 🙂

A cookie made in seconds is my favorite kind of cookie! This was delicious thank you!!
This is perfect for those nights where you need a cookie fix quick!!
Wish I had this recipe when I was in my dorm room! Its is so good and the best part microwaveable!
I never thought of making single cookies in the microwave. Genius! But I have to support #teamraisin 😉
My new favorite before bed treat – so good!
This just popped out of the microwave. I am in HEAVEN!!!
What a delicious and easy recipe for a single serve cookie. It’s actually big enough to share if you are generous. I tried it substituting all purpose flour and it came out fine also. Used dried cranberries one time instead of chocolate chips and that came out great also.
WOOHOO!! I’m so excited you enjoyed it! Love the idea to use cranberries 🙂
Thanks for taking the time to come back to rate the recipe!
