4.9 from 90 reviews

Deep Fried Oreos are a delightful treat featuring classic Oreo cookies dipped in a fluffy pancake batter, then fried to golden perfection. This recipe creates a crispy exterior that perfectly complements the creamy, chocolaty center of the Oreo, finished with a dusting of powdered sugar for an irresistible dessert or snack.

Ingredients

Scale

Cookies

  • 20 Oreo cookies

Batter

  • 1 1/2 cups pancake mix
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 egg

For Frying

  • Oil (for frying, enough to submerge cookies)
  • Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Heat Oil: Heat the oil in a deep fryer or large heavy-bottomed pot to about 365°F (185°C), ensuring it is hot enough to fry but not smoking.
  2. Prepare Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the whole milk, egg, and vanilla extract until combined and smooth.
  3. Mix Pancake Batter: Slowly add the pancake mix to the wet ingredients and stir until you have a smooth batter with no lumps.
  4. Coat Oreos: Dip each Oreo cookie into the batter, ensuring they are fully coated on both sides. Allow excess batter to drip off.
  5. Fry Oreos: Carefully place the batter-coated Oreos into the hot oil and fry for 1-2 minutes on each side or until they turn a deep golden brown and crispy.
  6. Drain and Serve: Remove the fried Oreos from the oil with a slotted spoon and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. Sprinkle with powdered sugar while still warm and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Maintain the oil temperature between 350°F to 365°F for best results.
  • Use a slotted spoon or wire rack to drain excess oil and keep the Oreos crispy.
  • Serve immediately for the best texture; the outer batter is crispiest when warm.
  • Can use chocolate or double-stuffed Oreos for variation.
  • Be cautious when frying; hot oil can cause burns.
