This deep fried Oreos recipe was a huge hit at my friend’s birthday party today. To commemorate the big day, we decided to make them with Birthday Cake Oreos. While I’d heard others rave about a similar recipe, I didn’t know firsthand how to make deep fried Oreos and hoped it wouldn’t be too time-consuming or messy. To my relief, they were extremely easy to make and the delicious outcome was somehow even better than Oreos on their own.
Something I confess I didn’t think possible until I took my first bite. What a bite it was! The light crispy batter coating dusted with powdered sugar paired with the crunchy dark chocolate cookie and creamy birthday cake filling delighted the tongue. Before I could blink, we were all munching on a second cookie and oohing and aahing at the unbelievable taste.

There’s nothing like these Oreo treats fresh from the fryer, and this is one of those easy recipes that’s so incredibly tasty that it makes the perfect treat for any party, potluck, or a convenient dessert choice for a dinner get-together.

Tools & Supplies Needed for Making Deep Fried Oreos

- Whisk
- Powdered Sugar Shaker

- Pour the Oil in the fryer.
- Heat the Oil until it gets to 350 degrees F.

- Place the rest of Oreos in the freezer while you make the Bisquick pancake mix for the deep fry Oreo batter. (Follow the directions on the side of the Bisquick box to make classic pancakes.)
- Mix 2 cups of Original Bisquick Mix, with 1 cup milk and 2 eggs.

- Dredge the Oreos in the pancake batter.
How to Deep Fry a Oreo
- Use a slotted spoon to lower the frozen Oreos coated in pancake batter into the fryer.
- Fry the Oreos for 2 minutes on each side. You can flip them in the hot oil by pushing on one edge of the Oreo.
- Line a large plate with two paper towels to drain and blot off excess oil when they are removed from the fryer basket.
- Lift the basket from out of the oil and let sit for a minute so the oil can drain and the fryer basket can cool.
- Flip the basket over dumping the deep fried Oreos on to the paper towel-lined plate.
- Sprinkle with powdered sugar, serve and enjoy!
Best Way to Eat Deep Fried Oreos
I like to eat my deep fried Oreos best while still warm, but they are still tasty once they’ve completely cooled. If you do have leftovers or plan to make them ahead to bring to an event, you can store them in Ziplock bags or a container, but make sure they are thoroughly cooled first because any trapped steam in the bag or container can make them soggy.
