Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1/2 cup almond milk or skim milk
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- Pinch of salt
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt.
- Warm the almond milk or skim milk in a small saucepan over low heat and stir in honey or maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract.
- Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring until a smooth dough forms.
- Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a star tip or a plastic sandwich bag with a corner cut off.
- Pipe small, bite-sized lengths onto a parchment-lined tray, or shape into small logs or balls.
- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Place the shaped churro bites in a single layer in the basket.
- Air fry for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden brown and crispy.
- Mix granulated sugar and ground cinnamon in a shallow bowl.
- Immediately toss the hot churro bites in the cinnamon sugar mixture to coat evenly.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, lightly spray the churro bites with cooking spray before air frying.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerated for up to 5 days.
- Reheat in the air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 3-4 minutes to restore crispiness.
- Use vegan-friendly ingredients, like maple syrup instead of honey and plant-based milk, for a vegan version.
