These healthy baked churro bites give you that cozy cinnamon-sugar flavor without the deep-fried guilt trip. They’re baked instead of fried, made with a few wholesome ingredients, and easy enough for a weeknight treat or a casual snack board.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 cup almond flour
  • 1/4 cup coconut sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1/2 cup almond milk
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, mix together the whole wheat flour, almond flour, coconut sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
  • In another bowl, stir together the applesauce, almond milk, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
  • Use a spoon or cookie scoop to drop small balls of dough onto the baking sheet.
