Making Easy Baked Churro Bites is simple and fun. Follow these steps to create your delicious treats:

1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon.
3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract until well blended.
4. Combine Mixtures: Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
5. Form Bites: Using a spoon or a piping bag, drop equal-sized portions of the batter onto the prepared baking sheet. You can also use a small cookie scoop for uniformity.
6. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes or until the bites are golden brown and cooked through.
7. Prepare Coating: While the churro bites are baking, combine the remaining 1/2 cup of granulated sugar and 1 tablespoon of cinnamon in a bowl for the coating.
8. Coat the Bites: Once baked, remove the churro bites from the oven and allow them to cool slightly. While still warm, roll them in the cinnamon sugar mixture to coat thoroughly.
9. Serve Warm: Transfer them to a serving plate and enjoy while they are still warm and delicious.

These easy steps will have you enjoying fresh, warm churro bites in no time.
