How to Make
Full directions on how to make deep fried Oreos are in the printable recipe card below. This is a quick walk through with pictures for visual learners.
Step 1: Heat Oil
In a heavy-duty pot,(deep pot) you will add in your peanut oil and bring it to 350 degrees. Use a candy thermometer to check the temperature of the oil.
Step 2: Mix up Batter
Combine pancake mix with the mix, egg, milk, and 2 teaspoons of vegetable oil. Once well combined, you will get ready for deep frying Oreos.
Step 3: Dip Cookies
Now you will dredge the chocolate cookie in the batter, lift it out and let it drip for a few seconds. Remove the excess batter from the cookies. Then carefully place in the pot of hot oil.
Step 4: Fry Oreos
Fry for around a minute per side, and flip the Oreos so both sides cook. Then remove (I used this oil skimmer) and place on a paper towel-lined plate.
Dust with powdered sugar and serve!
Storage
This deep fried Oreo recipe is best made fresh. It is a unique treat that is a perfect way to serve up a tasty dessert. You will find you can store leftover Oreos in the fridge for 1-2 days. The texture will soften quite a bit. But the flavor will still be tasty.
Then you can eat the battered Oreos cold or warm them up in the microwave or in the oven.
Expert Tips and Variations To Recipe
- Use any flavor of Oreo you would like. Peanut butter, mint, or even a vanilla Oreo would be delicious. Change up the fried Oreo ingredients to fit your preference.
- You can also use canned biscuit dough to wrap around each Oreo. If you want to know how to make fried Oreos without pancake mix.
- Make sure the oil doesn’t get too hot or it can burn the batter.
- Flip the Cookies carefully after a minute to make the other side golden brown as well.
- Let the cookies cool for a short bit, as they will be super hot.
- Use a slotted spoon for getting the deep fried foods out of the oil. This is going to help the excess oil to drip off.
- Use a candy thermometer to watch the oil temperature. If it gets too hot it will overcook or burn the batter but leave the center of the dough raw.
- I love using a large Dutch oven for frying as it is sturdy and will heat evenly without hot spots.
Ways to Serve up this Oreo dessert
Dust with powdered sugar (confectioner’s sugar) , or have a bowl of chocolate sauce, caramel or other sweet sauces for dipping.
You could also pair with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream for an ultra decadent dessert that everyone will love.
