Print Recipe

Delicious crispy air fryer churro bites coated in a sweet cinnamon sugar mix, perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • Optional: melted chocolate for dipping

Instructions

  1. Prepare your dough: In a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat, combine the water, unsalted butter, and salt. Stir occasionally until the butter melts and the mixture begins to simmer.
  2. Add the flour: Once your butter mixture is steaming, reduce the heat to low, and add in the all-purpose flour and baking powder. Stir vigorously until the dough forms a ball.
  3. Incorporate the egg: Allow your dough to cool for a few minutes, then crack in the egg. Stir well until fully combined.
  4. Prepare for frying: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) while you shape your churro bites.
  5. Shape the churros: Transfer your dough to a piping bag fitted with a star tip. Pipe small bites onto the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Air Fry the churros: Spritz the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Place the churro bites in a single layer in the basket and cook for about 8-10 minutes until golden brown.
  7. Cinnamon-Sugar coating: In a small bowl, mix the granulated sugar and cinnamon together. Toss the churro bites in the mixture as soon as they come out of the air fryer.
  8. Let cool: Allow your churro bites to cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

Serve with melted chocolate for dipping or alongside vanilla ice cream for an indulgent dessert. Adjust cinnamon to taste for a stronger flavor.
