Deep Fried Oreos Ingredients

Substitutions And Additions

MILK: While Oreos are dairy-free, to begin with, to eliminate the milk from the fried Oreo batter, you could simply replace the milk in the Bisquick mix with water.

Just be aware that the batter will not be quite as creamy as it would have been otherwise.

OREOS: For a tasty twist, try using different flavors of Oreo cookies as the foundation for this recipe.

Oreo makes so many fun and delicious flavors, from red velvet and birthday cake to mint or peanut butter flavors.

You could also pick a different brand of chocolate sandwich cookies if you would like. You can also create a perfect party tray by using a variety!

PANCAKE MIX: While our preference is Bisquick for the best fried dough, you can use any brand of pancake mix or a favorite homemade mix if you have one.

Crescent rolls can also be used to wrap the cookie before frying for a simple alternative.

How To Make This Deep Fried Oreos Recipe

Once you coat the Oreos with batter, all you need to do is fry them in oil before enjoying them.

STEP ONE: Heat oil in a large Dutch oven to 350°F. Make sure to test the temperature of your oil with a candy thermometer.

If it is too hot, your deep-fried Oreos will burn!

STEP TWO: In a medium bowl, whisk together the beaten egg, vanilla extract, and milk. Add the pancake mix and whisk until no lumps remain.

STEP THREE: Using a large spoon, dip an Oreo into the batter and turn it over to ensure it is fully coated. Then, scoop up the Oreo and a spoonful of pancake batter.

STEP FOUR: Slowly put the batter-covered Oreo into the hot oil. As you are lowering the spoon into the oil, turn it over so that the Oreo is on the bottom and the extra batter ends up on the top.

Let the Oreo cook for about 30-60 seconds (depending on how hot your oil is) or until the Oreo has turned golden brown.

STEP FIVE: Cook the Oreos in batches of two to three at a time, and keep an eye on your oil temperature.

STEP SIX: Remove the fried Oreos using a slotted spoon to a paper towel-lined plate.

Then, sprinkle the coated cookies with powdered sugar and serve immediately while the creme filling is still hot!

Deep Fried Oreos Recipe Storage

Here are some easy tips for storing and reheating your delightful treats:

MAKE AHEAD: While deep-fried Oreos are best enjoyed fresh, you can prepare them in advance by coating the Oreos in the Bisquick batter and freezing them before frying.

Simply arrange the coated Oreos on a baking sheet and freeze until solid, then transfer them to an airtight container or freezer bag.

When ready to indulge, you can fry them straight from the freezer – no thawing required!

ON THE COUNTER: Ideally, you should eat fried Oreos right away. This perfect treat is best when they are hot and fresh to enjoy the melted center.

They will get soggy if they sit for too long or if they cool off and have to be reheated.

That being said, you can keep them on the counter for a couple of hours if necessary.

IN THE FREEZER: We do not recommend freezing deep-fried Oreos as they will become soggy. Stick with making these fresh.
