I love to get fried Oreos at the county fair every summer. Since this version cooks up quickly in the air fryer, I can enjoy my favorite summer treat all year round! Lemon zest and lemon yogurt add a burst of flavor to the batter, and a dusting of powdered sugar makes for a pretty presentation. —Jennifer Gilbert, Brighton, Michigan

Ingredients

  • 2 cups complete buttermilk pancake mix
  • 5 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 tablespoons grated lemon zest
  • 3/4 cup lemon yogurt
  • 1/2 cup 2% milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 teaspoons clear vanilla extract
  • 27 lemon creme Oreo cookies
  • Confectioners' sugar, optional

Directions

  1. Preheat air fryer to 350°. In a large bowl, combine pancake mix, sugar and zest. In a separate bowl, combine yogurt, milk, egg and vanilla. Add to dry mixture; whisk until smooth.
  2. Line air-fryer basket with parchment. In batches, dip Oreos into batter, tapping off excess. Arrange Oreos in a single layer on parchment, 2 in. apart.
  3. Cook until golden brown, 6-8 minutes. Repeat with remaining Oreos. If desired, dust with confectioners' sugar. Serve warm.
