- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup water
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar (for coating)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Cooking spray
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, 1 tablespoon sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, combine the water, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until a dough forms.
- Preheat the air fryer to 375°F and lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray.
- Using a small cookie scoop or your hands, form the dough into bite-sized balls (about 1 inch in diameter).
- Place the dough balls in the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure they are not touching.
- Air fry the churro bites for 8-10 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
- While the churro bites are cooking, mix the remaining 1/2 cup sugar and cinnamon in a shallow bowl.
- Once the churro bites are done, remove them from the air fryer and immediately roll them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until fully coated.
- Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
- For a chocolate twist, drizzle melted chocolate over the churro bites after coating them in cinnamon-sugar.
- For a spicier flavor, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the cinnamon-sugar mixture for a sweet and spicy kick.
