- Slotted spoon
- Tongs
- Paper towels
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Batter
In a bowl, whisk together the pancake mix, mashed banana, milk, egg, vanilla, and cinnamon. The batter should be smooth but thick enough to coat the Oreos.
Step 2: Heat the Oil
In a deep fryer or large pot, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). This ensures the Oreos fry up perfectly crispy without absorbing too much oil.
Step 3: Coat the Oreos
Dip each Oreo into the banana batter, letting any excess drip off before placing it in the hot oil.
Step 4: Fry to Perfection
Carefully place each coated Oreo into the oil. Fry for 2-3 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden brown. Use a slotted spoon to remove them and place them on a paper towel to drain.
Step 5: Garnish & Serve
Dust with powdered sugar and drizzle with chocolate sauce for extra yumminess. Serve warm and enjoy watching your kids’ happy faces! 😊
Mom’s Tips for the Best Banana Deep Fried Oreos
- Use ripe bananas for the best natural sweetness.
- Don’t overcrowd the pot; fry in small batches to keep the oil temperature steady.
- Let any extra batter drip off before frying to avoid clumps.
Recipe Variations and Kid-Friendly Swaps
- Vegan Version: Swap the egg for applesauce and use plant-based milk.
- Gluten-Free Option: Use a gluten-free pancake mix.
- Nutty Twist: Stir in a tablespoon of peanut butter into the batter for an extra treat.
How to Store and Reheat Leftovers
- Storage: If you somehow have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
- Reheating: Warm them in the air fryer or oven at 350°F (175°C) for a few minutes to bring back their crispiness.
What to Serve with Banana Deep Fried Oreos
- Ice Cream: Vanilla or chocolate ice cream makes the perfect pairing.
- Whipped Cream: A little homemade whipped cream makes these even more indulgent.
- Milkshakes: A cold vanilla or banana milkshake takes this dessert to the next level!
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. Can I make these without a deep fryer?
Yes! A heavy-bottomed pot with hot oil works just as well. Just be sure to maintain the right temperature.
2. Can I prepare the batter ahead of time?
It’s best to use the batter fresh, but if you’re in a rush, you can refrigerate it for up to 24 hours before using.
3. Can I bake these instead of frying?
Frying gives the best crispy texture, but you can bake them at 400°F (200°C) for 8-10 minutes.
4. Are deep-fried Oreos good cold?
They’re best enjoyed fresh and warm, but they can be reheated for a crispy texture.
5. Can I use frozen Oreos?
Yes! Freezing the Oreos before battering helps them hold their shape better while frying.
I hope you and your family love this sweet, crispy, gooey treat as much as mine does! If you enjoyed this recipe, share it with your friends and subscribe to the blog for more delicious, family-friendly recipes! 🍌🍪💖
