Description

Enjoy these delightful Sweet Air Fryer Churro Bites, a simple and crispy treat perfect for any occasion. Made with easy ingredients and your air fryer, these churros deliver the fairground taste without the mess of frying.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • For Coating:
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • For Serving (Optional):
  • Chocolate sauce
  • Caramel sauce

Instructions

  1. In a saucepan, combine water, butter, 1 tablespoon sugar, and salt. Heat over medium heat until butter is melted and mixture is simmering.
  2. Remove from heat and quickly stir in the flour until a smooth ball forms.
  3. Return the pan to low heat and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute to dry out the dough slightly.
  4. Transfer the dough to a mixing bowl. Let it cool for 5 minutes.
  5. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition until fully incorporated. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  6. Transfer the churro dough to a piping bag fitted with a star tip.
  7. Pipe 3-4 inch strips of churro dough into your air fryer basket, ensuring they do not touch. You may need to cook in batches.
  8. Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
  9. While the churros are cooking, mix the 1/2 cup sugar and cinnamon in a shallow dish for the coating.
  10. Once cooked, carefully remove the churros from the air fryer and immediately toss them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
  11. Serve your sweet air fryer churros warm with optional chocolate or caramel sauce.

Notes

  • Ensure churro dough is not too wet before piping.
  • Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket for even cooking.
  • Adjust air fryer cooking time based on your appliance.
  • Experiment with different toppings like dulce de leche or whipped cream.
  • For extra crispy air fryer churros, you can lightly spray them with cooking spray before air frying.
