Creating Healthy Air Fryer Churro Bites can be straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
1. Prepare the Dough: In a medium saucepan, combine water, coconut oil, salt, and sugar. Bring to a boil, then remove from heat.
2. Add Dry Ingredients: Stir in the flour and baking powder until well combined. Let it rest for 5 minutes.
3. Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes.
4. Shape the Dough: Transfer the dough into a piping bag fitted with a large star tip. Squeeze out small bites onto a parchment-lined tray.
5. Air Fry the Bites: Lightly oil the air fryer basket. Place churro bites in a single layer and air fry for 10-12 minutes until golden and crisp.
6. Prepare Cinnamon Sugar: While they’re cooking, combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon in a bowl.
7. Coat the Bites: Once cooked, toss the churro bites in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until evenly coated.
