Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 package Oreo cookies
- 2 large bananas
- 4 cups vegetable oil
Batter Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 cup milk
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Finishing Ingredient:
- ¼ cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- Slice 2 large bananas into ¼-inch thick rounds, placing one slice atop each Oreo cookie to form a compact sandwich.
- Mix 1 cup flour, 1 tsp baking powder, and ¼ tsp salt in a medium bowl, creating a dry base for your batter.
- Pour 1 cup milk, 2 eggs, and 1 tsp vanilla extract into the flour mixture, whisking until the batter becomes completely smooth.
- Pour 4 cups vegetable oil into a deep fryer or heavy pot, heating to precisely 375°F for optimal frying temperature.
- Submerge each banana-Oreo sandwich fully into the batter, ensuring complete and even coating.
- Carefully lower 2-3 battered cookies into the hot oil, maintaining a consistent frying environment.
- Fry for exactly 2-3 minutes, flipping once to achieve an even golden-brown exterior with a crispy texture.
- Extract the fried Oreos using a slotted spoon, transferring them onto paper towels to absorb excess oil.
- Allow cookies to cool for 2-3 minutes to prevent burning your mouth.
- Dust the warm treats with ¼ cup powdered sugar, creating a delicate sweet finish.
Notes
- Use ripe bananas that are soft but not mushy for the best flavor and texture in your banana-Oreo sandwiches.
- Maintain consistent oil temperature around 375°F to ensure crispy, evenly cooked deep-fried treats without burning.
- Create a thicker batter by letting it rest for 5-10 minutes before dipping, which helps the coating adhere better to your banana-Oreo sandwiches.
- For a gluten-free version, substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend and check that your Oreos are gluten-free.
