Easy Churro Bites
Easy churro bites that are baked into fluffy moist balls, then dipped in cinnamon sugar, making a healthier version of churros.
Equipment
- cake pop maker
- mini muffin pan
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 stick unsalted butter melted
- 1 large egg
- 0.25 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 3 teaspoons butter melted for coating
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar for coating
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon for coating
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, whisk all of the ingredients until well combined. The batter will be smooth and thin.
- If using a cake pop maker: Grease the cake pop maker and preheat it then bake the cake pops until golden (fill the half all the way through). To check for doneness, insert a toothpick into the center of the cake pop and it should come out clean.
- If using a mini muffin pan: Lightly grease the muffin pan, and bake the mini muffins at 350°F/180°C for 12-15 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean from the center of a muffin.
- For the coating: Take 2 bowls. Put the melted butter in one bowl, and mix the sugar with the cinnamon in the other one.
- Take each cake pop, put it in the butter first and coat it from all sides, then transfer to the sugar-cinnamon bowl and coat evenly from all sides.
Notes
This recipe has been tested using vegetable oil instead of butter, and it also worked fine.
