What You’ll Need
📌 For the Nutella-stuffed Oreos:
- 12 Oreo cookies
- ½ cup Nutella (slightly chilled for easier spreading)
📌 For the batter:
- 1 cup pancake mix
- ½ cup milk
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract

How to Make Deep-Fried Nutella Oreos
Step 1: Stuff the Oreos with Nutella
- Twist open each Oreo and spread a small dollop of Nutella on one side.
- Sandwich them back together and press lightly so the Nutella sticks.
- Pop them in the freezer for 10-15 minutes to firm up.
Step 2: Heat the Oil
- Pour 2-3 inches of oil into a deep pan or pot.
- Heat to 350°F (175°C)—this is the sweet spot for crispy, golden Oreos.
Step 3: Make the Batter
- In a bowl, whisk together pancake mix, milk, egg, and vanilla until smooth.
- The batter should be thick enough to coat the Oreos but not too runny.
Step 4: Dip & Fry
- Remove Oreos from the freezer.
- Using a fork or tongs, dip each Oreo into the batter, making sure it’s fully coated.
- Carefully drop it into the hot oil and fry for 30-45 seconds per side, until golden brown.
- Remove and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.
Step 5: Add the Finishing Touches
- Dust with powdered sugar for that classic deep-fried look.
- Drizzle warm Nutella over the top for extra chocolatey goodness.
Step 6: Eat While Warm & Gooey
- Grab one, take a bite, and prepare for pure deep-fried bliss.
Ways to Customize These Bad Boys
🔥 Try different Oreos. Use Golden Oreos, Mint Oreos, or Peanut Butter Oreos for a fun twist.
🔥 Make it extra crunchy. Add a handful of crushed Oreos into the batter for texture.
🔥 Switch up the filling. Swap Nutella for peanut butter, Biscoff, or marshmallow fluff.
🔥 Want more chocolate? Dip them in melted chocolate after frying.
🔥 Turn them into bites. Cut Oreos in half before stuffing and frying for smaller, poppable treats.
FAQs – Because You Need to Know
1. Can I make these ahead of time?
They’re best eaten fresh, but you can reheat them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5 minutes to get them crispy again.
2. What’s the best way to heat the oil without a thermometer?
Drop a small bit of batter into the oil—if it sizzles and rises immediately, the oil is ready.
3. Can I air-fry these instead?
Technically, yes! Spray them with oil and air-fry at 375°F (190°C) for 4-5 minutes. But deep-frying gets them crispier.
4. How do I stop them from getting greasy?
Make sure the oil is hot enough before frying. If it’s too cool, the batter absorbs oil instead of crisping up.
5. Can I make these with homemade pancake batter?
Absolutely! Just make sure it’s thick enough to coat the Oreos well.
6. How do I store leftovers?
Keep them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven for best results.
