Delicious and light churro bites made in the air fryer, offering a guilt-free twist on a classic dessert.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (or whole wheat for extra fiber)
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup milk (almond, oat, or dairy)
- 2 tablespoons butter or coconut oil
- 1/4 cup sugar (for sweetness)
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon (for coating)
Instructions
- Start by mixing the flour, baking powder, salt, milk, and butter until a dough forms.
- Pip or spoon the dough into bite-sized shapes.
- Grease the air fryer basket lightly to prevent sticking.
- Air fry the churros according to the manufacturer’s directions until golden brown.
- Immediately toss the cooked churro bites in a bowl with cinnamon sugar to coat.

Notes
Let churros sit for a minute before coating in sugar to avoid melting. Use a piping bag for classic shapes or two spoons for easier shaping.
