Ingredients

• 1 cup pancake mix

• 12 Oreo cookies
• Powdered sugar (for dusting)
• Oil (for frying)

this RECIPE

Instructions

1. Make the Banana Batter
   • In a medium bowl, whisk together the pancake mix, mashed banana, milk, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
2. Heat the Oil
   • Pour about 2 inches of oil into a deep fryer or heavy-bottomed pot.
   • Heat to 350°F (175°C)—hot enough to crisp up the batter without burning it.
3. Coat the Oreos
   • Dip each Oreo cookie into the banana batter, ensuring it’s fully coated.
   • Let any excess batter drip off before frying.
4. Fry to Perfection
   • Carefully place battered Oreos into the hot oil.
   • Fry for about 2-3 minutes, turning halfway, until golden brown.
5. Drain and Dust
   • Remove the fried Oreos with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate.
   • While still warm, generously dust with powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness.
6. Serve & Enjoy
   • Eat them warm for the ultimate crispy-gooey experience.

Notes

• Want extra banana flavor? Add ½ teaspoon of banana extract to the batter.
• No pancake mix? Use ½ cup flour, 1 tablespoon sugar, ½ teaspoon baking powder, and a pinch of salt as a substitute.
• Feeling extra indulgent? Serve with vanilla ice cream, caramel sauce, or melted chocolate.

Helpful Tips

• Test the oil temperature by dropping a little batter in—if it sizzles and rises immediately, it’s ready!
• Don’t overcrowd the pan—fry in batches to keep the oil temperature steady.
• Mess-free coating tip: Use a fork or skewer to dip the Oreos into the batter and lift them into the oil.

Conservation and Storage

Storage Instructions

• Best enjoyed fresh! These are crispiest right after frying.
• To store leftovers, keep them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 day.
• To reheat, pop them in a 350°F oven for 5 minutes or air fry at 350°F for 2-3 minutes to restore crispiness.

Substitutions and Variations

• No Oreos? Try chocolate chip cookies or Nutter Butters for a fun twist.
• Gluten-Free? Use a gluten-free pancake mix and gluten-free sandwich cookies.
• Dairy-Free? Swap out the milk for almond or oat milk.
• Want a little crunch? Add a tablespoon of crushed graham crackers to the batter.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can I make these ahead of time?
Fried Oreos are best fresh, but if needed, you can prepare the batter ahead and store it in the fridge for up to 12 hours.

2. Can I bake these instead of frying?
Technically, yes! Bake at 400°F for 8-10 minutes, but expect a softer texture rather than a crisp shell.

3. What’s the best oil for frying?
Stick with vegetable, canola, or peanut oil—they have a high smoke point and neutral flavor.
