Crispy Air Fryer Churro Bites

Delightfully crispy and sweet churro bites made in the air fryer, perfect for parties or as a tasty snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup warm water
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup cinnamon sugar (for coating)
  • Cooking spray (for air frying)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the dough: In a medium saucepan, combine the water and vegetable oil and bring it to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Once simmering, reduce the heat to low and add sugar and salt. Stir until dissolved, then take it off the heat.
  2. Add the all-purpose flour to the saucepan mixture. Stir until you form a dough.
  3. Allow the dough to cool slightly before handling. Cut off small pieces and roll them into small balls.
  4. Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Lightly spray the basket with cooking spray. Place churro bites in a single layer and air fry for about 8-10 minutes.
  5. Toss the cooked churro bites in the cinnamon sugar mixture while still warm, ensuring each bite is nicely coated.

Notes

Serve with chocolate sauce or caramel for an extra treat! Can be made gluten-free with a suitable flour blend.
