Irresistible Fried Oreos
I'm excited to show you how to make these crazy-good fried snacks at home. You’ll end up with a warm crispy bite and a melty center that’s impossible to stop eating. It just takes five main things and a bit of powdered sugar to whip up this nostalgic treat right in your kitchen. Seriously, you’re gonna want to make extra.
What Makes These Stand Out
Only when you’ve tasted one dunked in hot oil will you understand what the fuss is about. That crunch outside and soft gooey middle is unreal. People lose their minds when these show up at a party. It feels like your own mini county fair at home. Trust me, they get snapped up fast.
What You’ll Need
- Crunchy Coating: Pancake mix brings the crispy shell to life.
- Moisture: You’ll need milk to smooth things out.
- Binding: Crack in an egg so it all sticks.
- Main Event: Go wild with any Oreo type you love.
- Get It Sizzling: Canola or veggie oil both do the trick.
- Sweet Top: Give ‘em a snowy look with powdered sugar.

Here’s How It’s Done
- Final Touch
- Bounce your fried cookies onto paper towels, shower them with powdered sugar, and hand them out while they're still toasty.
- Get Them Golden
- Slide a few cookies into the hot oil at a time and fry for a couple minutes each side until they look just right.
- Dip and Dunk
- Grab your Oreos, swirl them in batter, let any drip off, and slide them gently into the oil.
- Heat the Oil
- Get your pot going at a steady 375°F—check with a thermometer to make sure.
- Batter Mix
- Stir together egg, milk, and pancake mix until super smooth and kind of thick—add more mix if it’s too runny.
Best Tricks for Success
Stick with new oil that can take the heat, always watch that temp, and don’t crowd your fryer or pot. You want the batter to really wrap around the Oreos. They’re best enjoyed right away—trust me, they’ll disappear fast if you serve them fresh and hot.
How to Keep Them Tasty
Honestly, these are best eaten right away, but if you have leftovers, pop them in a tight-lid container and chill for up to three days. Want them crispy again? Warm in the oven for a couple minutes and they’re almost as good as new.
Fun Twists to Try
Swap in wild Oreo flavors like mint or peanut butter if you’re feeling bold. Sometimes, I sneak in flavored pancake mix too. Want to take things up a notch? Dollop on some whipped cream, a little drizzle of chocolate, or maybe a scoop of vanilla ice cream. No one complains.

Common Questions
- → Why pick pancake mix over regular flour?
Pancake mix comes packed with everything you need for a soft, airy batter—it’s ready to go, so you skip extra steps and extra seasonings.
- → How can I tell if my oil’s good to go?
Keep a thermometer handy and aim for 375°F. If it’s too hot, the snacks burn fast. Too cool and they’ll soak up grease.
- → Is it cool to use other Oreo types?
For sure! Any flavor you like works great. Double Stuf gives you a gooier middle.
- → Why are my Oreos breaking while they cook?
Cover those cookies all the way in batter and make sure the oil’s at the right heat. Try frying them one at a time if it helps.
- → How long will they stay tasty?
They’re best eaten warm, just after frying. You can chill them for 3 days, but the bite changes. To revive them, just bake a few minutes.
