Can I bake instead of fry Sweet Churro Donut Bites?

Yes, you can bake small rounds at 375°F (190°C) for 8–10 minutes until firm. The texture is lighter, with crisper edges, but the flavor stays comforting.

What is the best oil for frying these bites?

I reach for a neutral oil with Sweet Churro Donut Bites, like canola or vegetable. I sometimes use peanut oil for a subtle nutty note. Keep the oil at 350°F (175°C) and fry in small batches for even color.

How long do they stay fresh after frying?

Best eaten warm the same day. If I need to store them, I refrigerate up to 24 hours. Reheat in a warm oven to regain crispness and fluff.

Can I prepare the batter ahead of time?

Yes. You can mix dry and wet ingredients separately and refrigerate up to 24 hours. I stir them together right before frying for best results. This keeps the Sweet Churro Donut Bites ready when you are.

Are these suitable for a dairy-free diet?

Yes, you can make a dairy-free version of Sweet Churro Donut Bites. Use dairy-free milk like almond or oat milk. Use a dairy-free butter substitute or melted coconut oil in the batter. The coating remains cinnamon-sugar and delicious. Fry as usual and enjoy.
