Ingredients
  

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup water

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

1 tablespoon granulated sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Cooking spray (for air frying)

For the Cinnamon Sugar Coating:

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1 tablespoon cinnamon

Instructions
 

Prepare the Dough: In a medium saucepan, combine the water, butter, sugar, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Once boiling, remove from heat and stir in the flour, baking powder, and vanilla extract until a dough forms.

    Shape the Churro Bites: Allow the dough to cool for a few minutes. Once it's manageable to touch, transfer it to a piping bag fitted with a star tip. Pipe small bite-sized pieces (about 1 inch) onto a piece of parchment paper.

      Air Fryer Prep: Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C). Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray.

        Air Fry the Churro Bites: Carefully place the piped dough into the air fryer basket, ensuring they are spaced apart to allow for expansion. Air fry for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown and fluffy.

          Cinnamon Sugar Coating: In a small bowl, mix together the sugar and cinnamon. Once the churro bites are done, immediately toss them in the cinnamon sugar mixture while they're still warm.

            Serve & Enjoy: Transfer the churro bites to a serving plate and enjoy warm for the best flavor!
