Ingredients
Dough Ingredients
- 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
- 0.5 cup warm water
- 0.25 teaspoon vanilla extract
Cinnamon Sugar Coating
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons melted butter (for brushing)
Instructions
Making the Churro Bites
- In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Stir in melted butter, vanilla, and warm water until a soft dough forms.
- Lightly flour your hands. Pinch off small portions of dough and roll them into bite-sized balls or short logs.
- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Lightly spray the basket with oil or brush with melted butter. Place churro bites in a single layer, not touching.
- Air fry for 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and puffed.
- As soon as the bites come out of the air fryer, brush them with melted butter. In a shallow bowl, mix sugar and cinnamon, then roll the bites in the mixture until generously coated.
- Serve warm with a cup of hot chocolate, coffee, or a small bowl of chocolate sauce for dipping.
Notes
If your dough feels too sticky, add a touch more flour. These bites are best enjoyed warm, but you can reheat them in the air fryer for 2–3 minutes to bring back their crunch.
