These Air Fryer Churro Bites are a quick and easy treat that offers the crispy, cinnamon-sugar coated delight of classic churros in bite-sized form. Perfect for a sweet snack or dessert, they are made by air frying dough pieces and then coating them with melted butter and cinnamon sugar for that signature flavor and crunchy texture without the need for deep frying.

Ingredients

Scale

Dough

  • 1 cup biscuit dough pieces or pre-made dough cuts

Coating

  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes to ensure even cooking.
  2. Air Fry Dough Pieces: Arrange the dough pieces in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure they are not touching. Air fry for 8-10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until golden brown and cooked through.
  3. Prepare Cinnamon Sugar: While the dough is cooking, mix the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon together in a small bowl.
  4. Coat with Butter: Once the dough pieces are done and slightly cooled, toss them in the melted butter to coat evenly.
  5. Coat with Cinnamon Sugar: Immediately after buttering, roll the warm churro bites in the cinnamon sugar mixture until fully coated.
  6. Serve: Serve warm for the best texture and flavor. Enjoy your crispy, sweet air fryer churro bites!
