Fried Oreos have become popular in recent years and if you haven’t had them, you’re missing out.
If you have and want to make them at home now you can EASILY!
Fried Oreos
I didn’t want summer to be long gone before I share with you a fun treat.
This summer while we were at the boardwalk we enjoyed Fried Oreos.
Ever since we had them, no one could stop thinking about them.
They were like Chocolate filled Zeppoles {think funnel cake}.
I don’t typically deep fry food at home. But this was for Oreos after all.
How could I resist?
I made two batters to see which one I like better. The yeast batter that is used for funnel cake, was very light and crispy, but it didn’t turn out well at all. The center of the Oreo dissolved and there wasn’t much batter to enjoy….when we had them at the boardwalk, they were coated with a thicker layer of dough.
Since I like pancakes batter and it worked out well for
Mango Pecan Pancake Pie and others here
and a fun Pancake Cake
I gave it a try and you know what…
It worked!
I love summertime, going to the boardwalk and enjoying sweet treats, it’s nice to be able to make some fun items at home to remind you of a happy time. These TOTALLY do this any time of year, so ENJOY a batch today!
They were delicious and I am glad we made them, it brought back great memories of our summer vacation!
Do you have a great food memory of this summer? Did you make it or recreate it? Feel free to share it with me, I’d love to see it.
- Pancake mix
- oil
- powdered sugar
- Mix pancake batter according to package or try this great
- Pancake Recipe
- Have 3 inches of oil hot and ready.
- Drop a bit of batter in and see if it drops then floats and bubbles up.
- If it's not hot enough the Fried Oreos will be greasy.
- When your oil is hot enough dip each Oreo in batter and then into the oil, flip each Oreo over so they are golden on both sides.
- It will only take a couple minutes until they are cooked.
- Strain on a tray with paper towels, then dust with powdered sugar while they are still hot.
- Let cool a minute or two before eating.

I don’t deep fry at home, either, but i think I could deal with 3 inches of oil—that’s not too bad, and these look really delicious. Even the outer dough part looks tempting!
Barbara @ Barbara Bakes says
Your fried Oreos are spectacular. I bought some at the fair and they had uncooked batter around the Oreo and were just nasty. I wish I’d had yours instead.
Jocelyn says
Fried oreos are the absolute best!!! I tried those at a fair a few years ago and fell in love with them. Your homemade ones look absolute delicious!!! I am now craving them and it is still morning;-)
Katherine says
wow! Hugs and wishes for a joy filled weekend.
naomi says
OMG-I LOVE this, Diane. I’ve actually never had one, but yours looks so much better than the ones I’ve seen at the fair.
Curt says
Wow, I’m getting excited over these just looking at the picture. Those look very very tasty!
Chris @ TheKeenanCookBook says
These look amazing. I’ve never had fried oreos, but I am itching to. Baby Boy was too young for us to head to shore this year so maybe next year…. Or I could just fry up a batch of these at home 🙂
Sylvie @ Gourmande in the Kitchen says
Oh wow! Those beat anything I’ve ever seen at the fair before – so decadent!
Wenderly says
Those look mighty delicious!
Amy says
I had one once, and decided that was a wonderful treat I only had to have once in a lifetime! But congratulations on figuring it out! I never would have dreamt it was pancake batter.
Karen says
OMG SOLD! I could see this as a treat day treat 🙂
Paula says
I’m beginning to think that there is nothing you can’t make from pancake batter! Another unique and delicious treat from your kitchen.
Angie @ Bigbearswife says
I’ve seen these at some of the little festivals and fairs around here, but I can never bring myself to try them……..#1. for fear of being labeled at the fat girl eatting fried oreo, and #2… they are to darn expensive to me haha, But with this DIY home recipe. I might have to try them
Alison @ Ingredients, Inc. says
awesome! I am working on a huge fried project. I might need to ask you some pointers
Diane says
I can only tell you that at the boardwalk they had a whole list of fried candy….I have a photo of the list if you’d like to see it…really is funny. Also tried fried pickles but haven’t had fried butter, have you?
Sue says
Diane, You’re amazing! Can’t wait to see what you come up with next!
FYI~I was finally able to get onto my Munchkin Munchies fb page(as the admin), but it won’t let me comment as MM! Oh well.
Enjoy your weekend!
Diane says
Sue you are so sweet! I hope fb starts cooperating! Have a wonderful weekend.
Brandie (@ Home Cooking Memories) says
I’ve never had one, but your post is making me want one something bad!!
Kristen says
Oh dear me… these look sinful!
Lauren says
I can’t believe how easy these are to make! Pancake batter? Genius! I’m gaining weight just looking at these!
marla says
These are over the top! Love it 🙂
Courtney says
Love these!
Maria says
What a decadent treat!
Miriam @ Overtime Cook says
Wow this takes decadence to a whole new level. Ah-maze-ing!
Lynne @ CookandBeMerry says
This has to be one of the most creative and different dessert bites I have ever seen. I love sweets sprinkled with powdered sugar. Your photographs are wonderful!
Cookin' Canuck says
What a treat, Diane! My kids would be over-the-moon excited if I made these for them.
Chef Dennis says
that makes perfect sense, almost like a fritter! My girls would go crazy if I taught them to make these, what a great treat for the end of summer!
Renee - Kudos Kitchen says
So wrong and yet so right! 🙂
Diane says
LOL!!! so funny 🙂 and true.
Cat Davis - Food Family Finds says
I first saw those at the State Fair but it really ruined my experience with them. The Oreo inside was soaked in oil. I have a feeling a homemade version would be a lot better.
Erin @ Making Memories says
Fried Oreos??? Holy mother of pearl! I need these right now!!! I’m so making these. Thanks!
Diane says
Yea I needed them so bad after eating them on the boardwalk, I just had to make them. Really easy!!! Love that. Happy New Year!
