2. Don’t overfill with Nutella; a little goes a long way for that perfect bite.
3. If you want a lighter sweetness, roll them in just cinnamon instead of sugar and cinnamon.
4. Chill dough for a few minutes if it seems too sticky.

Variation

Feeling adventurous? Make it a Chocolate Hazelnut Churro Bites by swapping out Nutella for a different chocolate spread, or experiment with fillings like dulce de leche or even strawberry jam! You could even whip up a vegan version by using plant-based butter and an egg substitute if you want to keep things plant-friendly.

FAQs

Can I make churro bites ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prep the dough in advance and freeze it. Just fry them fresh when you’re ready to eat.

How do I prevent the churros from becoming soggy?
Make sure to drain them properly on paper towels after frying, and eat them warm for the best texture.

Can I bake instead of frying?
While frying gives churros that classic taste, you can bake them at 375°F (190°C) for about 15-20 minutes. They might not have the same crispy exterior, though!
