Let’s get right into the simple steps to create these sweet air fryer churro bites:

1. Prepare the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) while you make the churro dough.
2. Create the Dough: In a medium saucepan, bring the water, butter, and 2 tablespoons of sugar to a boil. Once boiling, remove from heat and stir in the flour, baking powder, and salt until a dough forms.
3. Add Flavor: Mix in the vanilla extract to enhance the flavor of the dough.
4. Shape the Churros: Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a star tip. Pipe small bites onto parchment paper or a clean surface, about 1-inch long.
5. Air Fry the Bites: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Place churro bites in a single layer, ensuring they are not touching. Cook for 7 minutes or until golden brown.
6. Make Cinnamon Sugar: In a bowl, mix the 1/4 cup sugar with 1 teaspoon of cinnamon.
7. Coat the Churro Bites: Once cooked, immediately toss the churro bites in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until evenly coated.
8. Serve Warm: Enjoy your churro bites while they’re warm for the best texture and flavor!

Those were the steps to transform simple ingredients into delightful bites. Once you’ve completed these steps, you’re just moments away from indulging in sweet air fryer churro bites!
