Crispy, cinnamon-sugar coated churro bites made from a quick dough and air-fried instead of deep-fried — all the cinnamon-sugar joy with none of the frying mess.

🥘 Ingredients
Dough
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 large egg (room temperature)
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Coating
  • 1/4 cup sugar (for coating)
  • 1 tsp cinnamon (ground)
  • 2 tbsp butter (melted, for coating)
Serving
  • 1/4 cup chocolate sauce (for dipping)
📝 Instructions
  1. Bring water, butter, sugar, salt to a boil in a saucepan. Remove from heat. Shared 💡 Boiling the liquid first is the key to choux-style dough.
  2. Dump in flour all at once. Stir vigorously until a smooth ball forms. Shared 💡 Stir hard — the dough should pull cleanly from the sides.
  3. Let cool 2 minutes. Beat in egg and vanilla until smooth and pipeable. Shared 💡 Dough should be glossy and hold its shape.
  4. Transfer to piping bag with a star tip. Preheat Ninja on Air Fry at 375°F. Shared 💡 Star tip creates ridges that hold cinnamon sugar.
  5. Pipe 2-inch strips onto parchment in the pan. Spray with oil. Top Oven 💡 Leave space between — they puff slightly.
  6. Air Fry at 375°F for 6-8 minutes until golden and puffed. No need to flip. Top Oven 💡 They should feel light and sound hollow when tapped.
  7. Brush with melted butter immediately, then roll in cinnamon sugar. Serve with chocolate sauce. Shared 💡 Butter helps cinnamon sugar stick — must be done while hot.
💡 Ninja Tips

Boil liquid first for proper choux dough. Star tip = cinnamon sugar ridges. Pipe 2-inch strips. Brush with butter while hot. These are best immediately after coating.
