(Makes ~24 bites)
Churro dough:
- ½ cup water
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter or coconut oil
- 1 tbsp granulated sweetener (monk fruit blend—you love blood sugar friendly!)
- ¼ tsp salt
- ½ cup all-purpose flour (or ½ cup almond flour + 1 tbsp coconut flour for GF/low-carb)
- 1 large egg
Cinnamon-sugar coating:
- 3 tbsp granulated sweetener (monk fruit blend)
- 1½ tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tbsp melted butter or coconut oil (for tossing—you love buttery richness!)
For serving:
- Sugar-free chocolate sauce or caramel dip
- Extra cinnamon sprinkle
Instructions
1. Make dough:
- In a small saucepan, bring water, butter, sweetener, and salt to a boil.
- Remove from heat; stir in flour until smooth ball forms.
- Let cool 2 minutes; beat in egg until glossy and thick.
2. Shape bites:
Scoop 1-tsp portions; roll into balls (damp hands help). Place in air fryer basket (not touching).
3. Air fry:
Cook at 350°F (175°C) for 8–10 minutes, shaking halfway, until golden and puffed.
4. Coat & serve:
Toss warm bites in melted butter, then in cinnamon-sugar mix. Serve immediately with optional dip.
