Ingredients
- 1 cup pancake mix
- 1 ripe banana, mashed
- 2/3 cup milk
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 12 Oreo cookies
- Powdered sugar (for dusting)
- Oil (for frying)
Instructions
-
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.
-
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.
-
Coat the Oreos
- Dip each Oreo cookie into the banana batter, ensuring it’s fully coated.
- Let any excess batter drip off before frying.
-
Fry to Perfection
- Carefully place battered Oreos into the hot oil.
- Fry for about 2-3 minutes, turning halfway, until golden brown.
-
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.
-
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.
