Ingredients

  • Oreos – Classic works best. They’re sturdy and know how to hold their own.
  • Nutella – The star of the show. Smooth creamy, and non-negotiable.
  • All-purpose flour – For the batter base. Keep it simple.
  • Baking powder – This gives the batter a little puff and lightness.
  • Granulated sugar – Just a touch to sweeten the batter.
  • Milk – Helps create a smooth pourable batter.
  • Egg – Binds everything together like a responsible adult.
  • Vanilla extract – Optional but it adds a nice dessert-y vibe.
  • Neutral oil – For frying. Use something with a high smoke point.
  • Powdered sugar – For dusting because aesthetics matter.

Instructions

  • Prep the Nutella.
  • Scoop small teaspoons of Nutella onto parchment paper and freeze them for about 20–30 minutes. You want them firm, not rock-hard. This step saves your sanity later.
  • Stuff the Oreos.
  • Gently twist the Oreos open. Place a frozen Nutella dollop on one side and sandwich it back together. Press lightly. Don’t Hulk-smash it—gentle confidence wins here.
  • Make the batter.
  • In a bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, and sugar. Add the egg, milk, and vanilla. Whisk until smooth and slightly thick. Think pancake batter, not soup.
  • Heat the oil.
  • Heat oil in a deep pan to about 350°F (175°C). If you don’t have a thermometer, drop in a tiny bit of batter. If it sizzles and floats, you’re good.
  • Dip and fry.
  • Dip each stuffed Oreo into the batter, coating it fully. Carefully lower it into the hot oil. Fry for 2–3 minutes, turning once, until golden brown and glorious.
  • Drain and dust.
  • Remove and drain on paper towels. While still warm, dust generously with powdered sugar. Don’t be shy—this isn’t the time for restraint.
