Introduction

Deep Fried Oreos are a fun and indulgent treat perfect for special occasions or anytime you want a crispy, sweet snack. These delicious cookies are coated in a fluffy pancake batter and fried until golden brown, then dusted with powdered sugar for an irresistible finish.

Four golden brown fried dough balls are arranged on a white square plate, each covered with a thick layer of white powdered sugar that gives them a soft, snowy look. The dough balls have a slightly rough texture with crispy edges and small cracks visible under the sugar. Some powdered sugar is scattered lightly on the plate around the dough balls, and the plate is set on a white marbled surface. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

1 cup pancake mix
⅔ cup water

10 Oreos
Oil for frying

⅓ cup powdered sugar

Instructions

Step 1: Pour oil into a pan to cover about one-third of the pot. Heat the oil to 375°F over medium-low heat.

Step 2: In a bowl, combine the pancake mix with half of the water. Mix slowly until the batter is thick. Add more water if needed, but avoid making the batter too thin; if it thins out, add more pancake mix.
Step 3: Dip each Oreo into the pancake batter, ensuring it is fully coated. Carefully place the coated Oreo into the hot oil.
Step 4: Fry each side for 30 to 45 seconds, or until the coating turns a light golden brown.

Step 5: Remove the fried Oreos from the oil and drain on paper towels. Sprinkle generously with powdered sugar before serving.

Tips & Variations

Use a slotted spoon to gently lower and lift Oreos from the hot oil to avoid splashes and to drain excess oil.
For extra flavor, add a pinch of cinnamon or vanilla extract to the batter.

Try other cookie varieties like chocolate chip or peanut butter for a tasty twist.
If you don’t have a thermometer, test oil temperature by dropping a small bit of batter; it should sizzle and float to the top quickly.

Storage

Deep fried Oreos are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 day. Reheat briefly in a warm oven to restore crispness, but avoid microwaving as it may make them soggy.

How to Serve

The image shows four deep-fried golden brown pastries placed closely together on a white square plate, each covered with a thick layer of white powdered sugar dusted unevenly on top, making the pastries appear soft and powdery. One pastry has a small raised crispy corner, adding texture contrast to the smooth rounded tops. The plate rests on a white marbled surface with some powdered sugar scattered around it. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I bake these instead of frying?

Baking won’t achieve the same crispy texture, but you can try baking for a healthier option. Coat Oreos with batter and bake at 425°F for about 8-10 minutes, turning halfway through.

What oil is best for frying Oreos?

Use a neutral oil with a high smoke point, such as vegetable, canola, or peanut oil, to ensure even frying without burning the batter.
