These bites combine the soft texture of a muffin with the familiar flavor of a churro. They are quick to prepare and result in a sweet treat with a crunchy coating.
Equipment
- Mini Muffin Tin
- Mixing Bowls
Ingredients
For the Muffin Bites
- 1 1/2 cups flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon

- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
For the Coating

Instructions
- Mix the dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and sugar) in one bowl.
- Combine the wet ingredients (egg, milk, and melted butter) in a separate bowl.
- Add the wet mixture to the dry mixture and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Fill each cup of the mini muffin tin about three-quarters full.
- Bake at 180°C for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the bites are golden brown.
