These light and fluffy air fryer churro bites are the perfect easy dessert. Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and coated in cinnamon sugar, they’re ready in minutes!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons melted butter (for brushing)
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine water, butter, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
- Remove from heat and immediately add the flour. Stir vigorously with a wooden spoon until a smooth dough forms and pulls away from the sides of the pan.
- Let the dough cool slightly for about 5 minutes. Then, add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition until fully incorporated. The dough should be smooth and pipeable.
- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
- Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a large star tip. Pipe small churro bites onto a lightly greased air fryer basket, leaving space between each bite.
- Air fry for 8 10 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- While the churro bites are cooking, combine granulated sugar and cinnamon in a shallow bowl.
- Brush the cooked churro bites with melted butter and immediately toss them in the cinnamon sugar mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
