Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside — these Air Fryer Funnel Cake Bites are everything you love about fair food, made easy at home! With simple ingredients and no deep frying, they’re perfect for quick breakfast ideas, easy dessert cravings, or fun food ideas for any occasion.


Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

2 tablespoons granulated sugar

1/4 teaspoon salt

2/3 cup milk

1 egg

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Powdered sugar, for topping

Oil spray, for air fryer


Instructions

1. In a mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.

2. In another bowl, whisk the egg, milk, and vanilla.

3. Add wet ingredients to dry and whisk until smooth and thick but pourable.

4. Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 3–5 minutes.

5. Lightly spray the air fryer basket.

6. Scoop small amounts of batter into the basket, spacing them apart.

7. Lightly spray the tops with oil.

8. Air fry for 5–6 minutes, flipping halfway until golden brown.

9. Remove and dust generously with powdered sugar.

Notes

For extra crispiness, let the bites sit for 1 minute after cooking before dusting.

Batter can be made a day ahead and stored in the fridge.

Best served immediately but can be reheated in the air fryer.
