Creating Healthy Air Fryer Churro Bites is straightforward. Just follow these simple steps:
1. Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, 1/4 cup of sugar, cinnamon, and salt.
3. Add Wet Ingredients: Stir in the applesauce and milk, mixing until a dough forms.
4. Shape Churro Bites: Lightly flour your hands and roll the dough into small bite-sized balls, about 1 inch in diameter.
5. Arrange in Air Fryer: Place the churro bites in the air fryer basket. Make sure they are spaced out evenly to allow for proper air circulation.
6. Air Fry: Cook for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown, shaking the basket halfway through.
7. Coat in Cinnamon Sugar: In a separate bowl, mix the extra sugar and cinnamon together. Once cooked, immediately roll your churro bites in the cinnamon sugar mixture while still warm to coat them evenly.
