Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix pancake batter mix, milk, egg, and vegetable oil until smooth.
- Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large skillet until hot enough to fry.
- Drop spoonfuls of batter into the hot oil, coating Oreo cookies completely.
- Fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Remove from oil and serve immediately.
Tips & Substitutions
For extra flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the batter. If you don't have pancake batter mix, you can create a substitute using flour, baking powder, and sugar. Make sure the oil is hot enough before frying to ensure a crispy exterior. If you're looking for a fun twist, try using flavored Oreos or even dipping them in chocolate after frying for a dessert reminiscent of Cornflake Peanut Brittle.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the Fried Oreo Cookies warm, dusted with powdered sugar or drizzled with chocolate syrup for an indulgent treat. They pair wonderfully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful dessert experience. For a festive touch, consider serving alongside Juanita'S Christmas Pecan Pie to create a dessert spread that guests will love.
Storage & Reheating
Fried Oreos are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. To reheat, place them in an oven preheated to 350°F (175°C) for about 5-10 minutes, which will help restore their crispiness. Avoid microwaving, as this can make them soggy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use gluten-free pancake mix for this recipe?
Yes, you can substitute regular pancake mix with gluten-free pancake mix to make this recipe gluten-free. Ensure that the mix you choose is designed for frying to achieve the best texture. The rest of the ingredients remain the same.
What type of oil is best for frying?
Vegetable oil is a great choice for frying due to its high smoke point, but you can also use canola or peanut oil. These oils will help achieve a crispy texture without imparting a strong flavor to the Fried Oreos.
Can I freeze Fried Oreo Cookies?
While it's not recommended to freeze Fried Oreos for optimal taste, you can freeze them if needed. Allow them to cool completely, then place them in a single layer in a freezer-safe container. To reheat, bake them directly from frozen at 350°F (175°C) until warm.
