2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tbsp cinnamon

Notes
For a sweeter, richer flavor, you can add chocolate chips to the dough.
Dip churro bites in chocolate or caramel sauce for extra indulgence.
For a lighter version, bake instead of frying at 375°F for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
Store churro bites in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in a preheated oven at 350°F for 5-7 minutes.
If the dough is too sticky, add a small amount of flour to make it more manageable.
For a vegan version, use plant-based butter and vanilla essence instead of extract.
