Why Make This Recipe
Why should you try making deep-fried Oreos? Well, they are shockingly easy to whip up, and the joy on your kids’ faces when they take that first bite is priceless. Plus, they’re perfect for parties, sleepovers, or a cozy family movie night. You only need a handful of ingredients, and I promise the effort is oh-so-worth it!
How to Make Deep Fried Oreos
Let’s dive into the wonderful world of deep-fried Oreos!
Ingredients
Here’s what you need for this sweet adventure:
- 1 quart vegetable oil
- 1 large egg, beaten
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1½ cups Bisquick
- 1 package “Double Stuf” Oreos
- Powdered sugar (for dusting)
Directions
Now, let’s get cooking!
Heat the Oil: In a large Dutch oven, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F. Don’t skip this step! You definitely want that perfect temperature. Too hot, and they’ll burn; too cold, and they won’t fry right.
Make the Batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together the beaten egg, vanilla extract, and milk until combined. Then, add the Bisquick mix and stir until there are no lumps. It should be nice and smooth!
Coat the Oreos: Using a large spoon, take an Oreo and dip it into the batter, making sure it’s fully coated.
Fry Away: Carefully scoop up the batter-covered Oreo and slowly lower it into the hot oil. Flip it over as you do this, so the Oreo is on the bottom and the extra batter is on top.
Cook to Perfection: Fry the Oreo for about 30 to 60 seconds—just until it’s golden brown. It’s always a good idea to keep an eye on them!
Serve Them Up: Once cooked, use a slotted spoon to remove the fried Oreos and place them on a paper-lined plate. Dust them generously with powdered sugar and serve immediately while the creme filling is all warm and melty.
How to Serve Deep Fried Oreos
These deep-fried delights are best enjoyed fresh out of the fryer. You can serve them plain or add a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side for a special touch. Drizzling some chocolate syrup or caramel sauce over the top won’t hurt either!
How to Store Deep Fried Oreos
If you somehow have leftovers (which is rare!), store them in an airtight container at room temperature. They will be best enjoyed the same day, but if you must keep them overnight, just pop them in the microwave for a few seconds to warm them up again.
Tips to Make Deep Fried Oreos
- Use a Candy Thermometer: It helps to ensure your oil is just the right temperature.
- Don’t Crowd the Pan: Fry only a few Oreos at a time to avoid lowering the oil temperature.
- Get the Kids Involved: Let your kids help dip the Oreos in the batter. They’ll love being part of the process!
Variations
Want to switch it up? Try using different flavored Oreos like mint or red velvet for a fun twist. The same batter can also be used to fry up other treats like candy bars or even fruit!

FAQs
1. Can I make the batter ahead of time?
Yes! You can prepare the batter a few hours ahead and cover it. Just give it a good stir before using.
2. What if I don’t have a Dutch oven?
No worries! A deep skillet works just fine. Just make sure it has enough oil to fully submerge the Oreos.
3. Is it safe to fry at home?
As long as you take proper precautions, frying at home is safe! Just keep an eye on the oil temperature and keep kids at a safe distance from the hot oil.
So there you have it! Deep-fried Oreos can be a fun and easy treat that adds a bit of joy to your day. Grab your kids, head to the kitchen, and have a blast making these tasty little bites!
