Banana Deep-Fried Oreos 🍌🍪🍫✨
Step 1: Prep the Stuffing
- Split the Oreos : Carefully separate each cookie into two halves. Scoop out the vanilla filling (save it for the stuffing).
- Mix the Banana Stuffing : In a bowl, combine mashed bananas and Oreo filling (if using). Stir until smooth.
Step 2: Assemble the Stuffed Oreos
- Stuff the Oreos : Place a spoonful of banana mixture onto the bottom half of each Oreo. Use a toothpick to hold the Oreo halves together while frying.
- Pro Tip : Press the halves firmly to avoid the filling leaking during frying.
Step 3: Prepare the Batter
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour , baking powder , and cinnamon .
- Add the egg , milk , and vanilla extract . Mix until smooth and slightly thick (like pancake batter).
Step 4: Coat the Oreos
- Dip each stuffed Oreo into the batter, ensuring it’s fully coated. Let excess drip off.
Step 5: Fry to Golden Perfection
- Heat 2–3 inches of oil in a pot to 350–375°F (175–190°C) . Use a thermometer for accuracy.
- Fry 2–3 Oreos at a time for 2–3 minutes , flipping once, until golden and crispy.
- Safety Tip : Keep oil at a consistent temperature and avoid overcrowding the pot.
Step 6: Coat in Cinnamon Sugar
- Immediately after frying, roll the Oreos in a mix of sugar and cinnamon while still warm. This ensures the coating sticks!
Step 7: Serve & Enjoy
- Let cool for 2–3 minutes (they’re best slightly warm).
- Serve with vanilla ice cream , caramel sauce , or hot fudge .
Customization Ideas
- Nutty Crunch : Add chopped peanuts or walnuts to the batter or coating.
- Spicy Twist : Mix a pinch of red pepper flakes into the cinnamon sugar.
- Chocolate Lover’s : Drizzle melted dark chocolate over the cooled Oreos.
- Banana Pudding Vibe : Use banana extract in the batter and serve with vanilla pudding.
Tips for Success
- Ripe Bananas : Use overripe bananas for maximum sweetness (the spottier, the better!).
- Toothpick Trick : Insert a toothpick vertically through the Oreo to keep it closed during frying.
- Thick Batter : If too runny, add more flour. If too thick, add a splash of milk.
- Cool Before Coating : If the Oreos are too hot, the sugar coating might melt.
