Ingredients You’ll Need

• 1 cup water
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter (or coconut oil)
• 1 tbsp maple syrup or honey
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1 cup whole wheat flour (or all-purpose)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 large egg
• 1/2 cup coconut sugar or brown sugar
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• Olive oil spray or cooking spray

How to Make Healthy Air Fryer Churro Bites

1. Make the dough: In a saucepan, bring water, butter, maple syrup, and salt to a light boil. Stir in flour and mix vigorously until a dough ball forms. Remove from heat and let cool for 5 minutes.
2. Mix in egg and vanilla: Add the egg and vanilla extract into the cooled dough and mix until smooth and sticky.
3. Shape the bites: Scoop or pipe small rounds or sticks onto a parchment-lined plate or tray. Chill for 10 minutes (optional but helps hold shape).
4. Air fry: Preheat air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Spray churro bites with olive oil spray. Air fry for 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy.
5. Cinnamon-sugar coating: While still warm, toss churro bites in a bowl with coconut sugar and cinnamon.
6. Serve warm: Enjoy plain or dip into melted chocolate or Greek yogurt for a healthier twist!

Tips for Perfect Churro Bites

• Don’t skip cooling the dough before adding the egg — it prevents cooking the egg too early.
• Use a piping bag with a star tip for classic churro shape, or just spoon into balls.
• Cook in batches if needed to avoid overcrowding the air fryer.
• Try adding a pinch of nutmeg or pumpkin spice for seasonal flavor!
