Making Easy Baked Churro Bites is straightforward. Just follow these simple steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk until well-blended.
3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the melted butter, water, and vanilla extract until combined.
4. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until a dough forms.
5. Pipe the Dough: Transfer the dough into a piping bag or a zip-lock bag with the corner cut off. Pipe small strips (about 2 inches long) onto the lined baking sheet.
6. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for about 15-20 minutes or until the churro bites are golden brown.
7. Prepare Coating: While the churro bites are baking, combine the sugar and cinnamon in a separate bowl.
8. Coat the Churros: Once the bites are out of the oven, allow them to cool slightly before rolling them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until fully coated.
9. Serve: Enjoy these delightful bites while they’re warm!
