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
- HERE is my pancake recipe if you prefer to make your own.
- Mix pancake batter according to directions
- 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.

September 23, 2011 at 3:58 amI 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!

September 23, 2011 at 6:00 amYour 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
September 23, 2011 at 6:50 amFried 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;-)

September 23, 2011 at 9:01 amOMG-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
September 23, 2011 at 10:50 amWow, I’m getting excited over these just looking at the picture. Those look very very tasty!
Chris @ TheKeenanCookBook says
September 23, 2011 at 11:00 amThese 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
September 23, 2011 at 11:10 amOh wow! Those beat anything I’ve ever seen at the fair before – so decadent!
Wenderly says

Amy says
September 23, 2011 at 11:28 amI 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
September 23, 2011 at 11:59 amOMG SOLD! I could see this as a treat day treat 🙂
Paula says
September 23, 2011 at 12:26 pmI’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
September 23, 2011 at 12:40 pmI’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
September 23, 2011 at 7:20 pmawesome! I am working on a huge fried project. I might need to ask you some pointers
Diane says
September 23, 2011 at 8:33 pmI 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
September 23, 2011 at 7:59 pmDiane, 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

Miriam @ Overtime Cook says

Lynne @ CookandBeMerry says
September 25, 2011 at 2:17 pmThis 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
September 25, 2011 at 9:02 pmWhat a treat, Diane! My kids would be over-the-moon excited if I made these for them.
Chef Dennis says
September 26, 2011 at 7:40 amthat 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!

September 26, 2011 at 10:30 amSo wrong and yet so right! 🙂
Diane says
September 26, 2011 at 5:34 pmLOL!!! so funny 🙂 and true.
Cat Davis - Food Family Finds says
October 19, 2011 at 1:24 pmI 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

Diane says
