To make these Churro-Style Gingerbread Bites, you will need the following ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup molasses
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp ground ginger
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- Vegetable oil, for frying
To begin, preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, melted butter, molasses, egg, ginger, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt until well combined. Scoop the batter into a greased mini muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
While the muffins are baking, mix together the granulated sugar and cinnamon in a shallow dish. Once the muffins are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Then, heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully drop the muffins into the oil, frying them for about 1-2 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Once the muffins are fried, remove them from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain off any excess oil. Then, roll each muffin in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until they are fully coated.
These Churro-Style Gingerbread Bites are the perfect combination of sweet and spicy, with a crispy exterior and a soft, fluffy interior. They are sure to be a hit at any holiday gathering or dessert party. So why not give them a try today?
