Description

Delightfully crunchy bites of guilt-free churros made in an air fryer, perfect for snacking without the extra calories.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 cup almond milk
  • 1/4 cup coconut sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup melted coconut oil
  • 1/4 cup sugar (for coating)
  • 1 tsp cinnamon (for coating)

Instructions

  1. Mix the Dough: In a medium bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, almond milk, coconut sugar, baking powder, and 1/2 tsp cinnamon. Mix until a slightly sticky but manageable dough forms.
  2. Shape the Bites: Take about a tablespoon of dough, roll it into small, bite-sized balls, and place them on a parchment-lined tray.
  3. Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes while you shape the dough.
  4. Prepare the Air Fryer Basket: Lightly grease the air fryer basket using cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  5. Cook the Bites: Place the dough balls in a single layer in the basket. Cook for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden brown.
  6. Coat with Cinnamon-Sugar: In a small bowl, mix together 1/4 cup sugar and 1 tsp cinnamon for coating. Toss the warm churro bites in this mixture to coat them thoroughly.
  7. Serve Immediately: Enjoy your Healthy Air Fryer Churro Bites warm for the best experience.

Notes

These churro bites can be customized with vanilla extract or dark chocolate chips. Best enjoyed fresh, but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
