Indulge in guilt-free air-fried churro bites made from plantains and sweet potatoes, paired with a creamy cacao avocado dip. Perfect healthy dessert!
Ingredients
- • ripe plantains: 2, peeled and mashed
- • sweet potato: 1 large, peeled, boiled, and mashed
- • oat flour: 1/2 cup
- • ground cinnamon: 1 teaspoon
- • coconut sugar: 2 tablespoons
- • vanilla extract: 1 teaspoon
- • avocado: 1 ripe
- • raw cacao powder: 2 tablespoons
- • maple syrup: 1 tablespoon
- • unsweetened almond milk: 2 tablespoons
- • sea salt: pinch
Instructions
- 1 Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C).
- 2 In a large bowl, combine mashed plantains and sweet potato with oat flour, cinnamon, coconut sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until a smooth dough forms.
- 3 Roll the dough into small bite-sized logs, resembling mini churros, and place them on a parchment-lined air fryer basket.
- 4 Air fry the churro bites for 12-15 minutes, turning halfway through until they are golden brown and slightly crispy.
- 5 While the churros are cooking, prepare the cacao avocado dip by blending the avocado, raw cacao powder, maple syrup, almond milk, and a pinch of sea salt until smooth and creamy.
- 6 Once the churro bites are ready, let them cool slightly. Serve warm with the cacao avocado dip on the side.
Serving Suggestions
- • Pair these air-fried churro bites with fresh berries for an added burst of flavor and nutrition. The natural sweetness of strawberries or raspberries complements the subtle spices in the churros beautifully. A refreshing herbal tea, such as mint or chamomile, makes an excellent companion for this dessert, enhancing its flavors while aiding in digestion. Alternatively, enjoy these bites with a glass of unsweetened almond milk for a wholesome, balanced treat.
Storage Tips
Store any leftover churro bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat them in the air fryer for a few minutes to regain their crispiness before serving. The cacao avocado dip can be stored in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Stir well before serving as the ingredients may separate slightly during storage.
