Fried Oreos Recipe in the Air Fryer
Fried Oreos are a classic fairground treat that brings smiles to faces young and old alike. This delightful dessert can now be prepared easily and quickly in the comfort of your own kitchen using an air fryer. Follow along as we walk you through the steps to make this delicious treat!
Ingredients:
- 1 package of Oreo cookies
- 1 cup of pancake mix
- 2/3 cup of water
- Vegetable oil spray
- Powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions:
- Prepare the Batter: In a mixing bowl, combine the pancake mix and water. Stir until the mixture is smooth. The batter should be slightly thick to coat the Oreos well.
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 190°C (375°F) and preheat for about 3 minutes. This ensures the fried Oreos cook evenly.
- Coat the Oreos: Dip each Oreo into the batter, making sure it’s fully coated. You might want to use a fork or tongs for this task to keep your hands clean.
- Arrange in Air Fryer: Lightly spray the basket of your air fryer with vegetable oil to prevent sticking. Place the batter-covered Oreos in the basket. Make sure they are not touching or overlapped to allow even cooking. You may need to cook in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
- Cook: Air fry the Oreos for 4-5 minutes, then carefully turn them over and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until they are golden brown.
- Garnish and Serve: Once done, remove the fried Oreos from the air fryer and place them on a plate. Use a sieve to dust them generously with powdered sugar.
Tips for Best Results:
- Keep the Batter Thick: A thicker batter ensures the Oreos are fully coated and helps achieve a fluffy exterior.
- Don’t Overcrowd the Air Fryer: Overcrowding can lead to uneven cooking. Ensure there is space between each Oreo.
- Experiment with Different Oreos: Try different flavors of Oreos for a unique twist on this classic recipe.
- Serve Immediately: Fried Oreos are best enjoyed warm, shortly after cooking for the perfect gooey and crisp contrast.
