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.
