Print Recipe

These churro bites remind me of fun fair nights, where the scent of cinnamon sugar filled the air and warm churros were the ultimate treat. Now, with the air fryer, we get that same nostalgic flavor without deep frying. Crispy outside, soft inside—these mini delights are perfect for sharing over coffee or as a cozy movie night snack. Give them a try and bring the fair home, minus the guilt!

Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

  • 1/2 cup water

  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter

  • 1 tbsp sugar

  • 1/4 tsp salt

  • 1 egg

  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

  • 1/2 cup sugar + 1 tsp cinnamon (for coating)

  • Olive oil spray

Instructions

  • In a saucepan, heat water, butter, sugar, and salt until boiling.

  • Stir in flour quickly until a dough forms. Let cool 5 minutes.

  • Mix in egg and vanilla until smooth (dough will be sticky).

  • Pipe small dots onto parchment using a piping bag or spoon.

  • Spray with oil and air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 8–10 minutes or until golden.

  • Toss in cinnamon sugar while warm.

Notes

  • Don’t skip cooling the dough: It helps the egg blend smoothly without cooking in the hot dough.

  • No piping bag? Use a freezer bag with the corner snipped off, or simply scoop with a spoon.

  • Make them mini: Smaller bites cook more evenly and get crispier.

  • Don’t overcrowd: Cook in batches to allow proper air flow in the fryer.
