Ingredients (Makes 12–15 Oreos)
- 12–15 Oreo cookies
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 ripe banana, mashed
- ¾ cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Vegetable oil (for frying)
- Powdered sugar (for dusting)
Optional Toppings:
- Chocolate syrup
- Caramel sauce
- Whipped cream
- Sliced bananas
Instructions
- Heat the Oil:
- In a deep skillet or Dutch oven, heat 2–3 inches of vegetable oil to 375°F (190°C). Use a candy thermometer to monitor the temperature.
- Make the Batter:
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, mix mashed banana, milk, egg, and vanilla.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, whisking until smooth.
- Coat the Oreos:
- Dip each Oreo into the batter, coating it completely. Let excess batter drip off.
- Fry the Oreos:
- Carefully place the coated Oreos into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for 1–2 minutes per side, or until golden brown.
- Use a slotted spoon to remove the Oreos and drain on paper towels.
- Serve:
- Dust with powdered sugar and drizzle with chocolate syrup, caramel, or whipped cream. Add sliced bananas for extra flair.
Tips for Success
- Oil Temperature: Keep the oil at 375°F (190°C) for even cooking and a crispy texture.
- Batter Consistency: If the batter is too thick, add a splash of milk. If too thin, add a bit more flour.
- Make Ahead: Prepare the batter and coat the Oreos ahead of time, then fry just before serving.
Serving Suggestions
- Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra treat.
- Pair with a cold glass of milk or a cup of coffee.
