Description
These Healthy Air Fryer Churro Bites are warm, cinnamon-kissed balls with a crisp edge and soft center, providing a lighter option than traditional churros.
Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup whole wheat flour (Provides a nuttier flavor and more fiber.)
- 1/4 cup coconut sugar (Adds a caramel note.)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup almond milk (Can be substituted with any milk.)
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted (For added moisture and flavor.)
Other
- Cooking spray (To lightly coat the churro bites.)
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (175°C).
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, coconut sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
- In another bowl, mix the almond milk and melted coconut oil.
- Combine wet and dry ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.
- Roll the dough into small bite-sized balls and lightly coat with cooking spray.
Cooking
- Place the churro bites in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
- Air fry for about 8-10 minutes or until golden brown.
- Allow cooling slightly before serving, and sprinkle with additional cinnamon and sugar if desired.
Notes
These bites are best served warm. Use a sprinkle of cinnamon-sugar immediately after frying for extra flavor. Store leftovers in an airtight container for 2-3 days. Refresh in the air fryer before serving.
