How to Serve Banana Deep Fried Oreos

Serve these yummy treats right away while they’re warm and fresh. They are perfect on their own, or you can serve them with ice cream or whipped cream for an added treat. Drizzle some chocolate or caramel sauce on top for extra sweetness!

How to Store Banana Deep Fried Oreos

If you have any leftovers (which is unlikely!), store them in an airtight container. They are best eaten fresh, but you can keep them in the fridge for a day. Reheat them in the oven or air fryer for a few minutes to get them warm and crispy again.

Tips to Make Banana Deep Fried Oreos

Make sure your oil is hot enough before frying to get that golden color.
Be careful when turning and removing the Oreos as they can be hot!
Don’t overcrowd the pot; fry in batches for the best results.
