Ingredients
Scale
- 10 Oreo cookies – classic chocolate sandwich cookies with creamy filling
- 1 cup pancake mix – provides the fluffy, golden batter
- 3/4 cup water – to mix into a smooth, thick batter
- Cooking spray – prevents sticking and promotes even browning
- Parchment paper – lines the air fryer basket for easy cleanup
- 2 tablespoons confectioners’ sugar – for dusting and extra sweetness
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 3 minutes to ensure even cooking.
- Line the air fryer basket with parchment paper and lightly spray it with cooking spray.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the pancake mix and water until a smooth, thick batter forms.
- Dip each Oreo cookie into the batter, coating it completely but allowing excess batter to drip off.
- Place the coated Oreos into the air fryer basket, ensuring they don’t touch. Cook in batches if needed.
- Air fry for 4–5 minutes, then flip each Oreo and continue cooking for 2–3 minutes until golden brown.
- Remove the Oreos carefully and transfer them to a cooling rack for a few minutes to prevent sogginess.
- Dust with confectioners’ sugar before serving and enjoy warm for the best texture.
Notes
- Don’t overcrowd the basket—air circulation ensures crisp results.
- Serve immediately for the perfect warm and gooey center.
- Chill Oreos for 10 minutes before dipping to help batter stick better.
- Reheat leftovers in the air fryer at 350°F for 2–3 minutes for renewed crispness.
- Experiment with Golden Oreos, Mint Oreos, or gluten-free pancake mix for fun variations.
