Ladies (and gentlemen), let me introduce you to my absolute favorite midnight guilty pleasure – the Nutella-Stuffed Air-Fried Churro Bites! Trust me, once you try these little bites of heaven, you’ll be sneaking to your kitchen at 2 AM like I do! 😉
Y’all, I discovered this recipe during one of those can’t-sleep-must-eat nights, and honey, it’s been a game-changer! The best part? It only takes 15 minutes from start to finish – perfect for those midnight cravings when patience isn’t exactly your strong suit.
What you’ll need:
– 1 can of refrigerated crescent roll dough
– 1/2 cup Nutella
– 1/2 cup sugar
– 1 tablespoon cinnamon
– 2 tablespoons melted butter
– A hungry tummy and zero regrets
Okay, queens, let’s get cooking! 👑
First things first, pop open that crescent roll can (try not to jump like I always do when it makes that startling pop!). Unroll the dough and pinch those perforations together – we want one smooth rectangle, not triangles.
Now, here’s where the magic happens! Spread that Nutella like it’s your job, honey. Leave about a 1/2 inch border around the edges. Roll it up lengthwise, nice and tight – think of it as wrapping up all your problems into one delicious solution!
(Hey loves! If you’re enjoying this recipe so far, make sure to follow me on Newsbreak for daily doses of deliciousness like this one! I’ve got so many more midnight munchies recipes up my sleeve!)
Cut the roll into 1-inch pieces. Mix your sugar and cinnamon in a bowl (I sometimes add a tiny pinch of nutmeg when I’m feeling fancy!).
Now, here’s the genius part – pop these babies in your air fryer at 350°F for 5-6 minutes. While they’re cooking, melt your butter and get ready for the grand finale!
Once they’re golden brown, brush them with melted butter and roll them in your cinnamon-sugar mixture. Warning: try not to eat them all while you’re coating them – I speak from experience! 🙈
The result? Warm, gooey Nutella wrapped in a crispy, cinnamon-sugar coated blanket of pure bliss. It’s like a warm hug for your taste buds!
Pro tip: These are best enjoyed while sitting cross-legged on your kitchen counter in your PJs, scrolling through your phone. Don’t judge me – we’ve all been there!
