Instructions
- Start by thawing the frozen waffles as per the packaged instructions. Preheat the air fryer at 355F for five minutes. Use a pizza cutter or a sharp knife to cut each waffle into wedges or sticks. (Refer to the image below)
- Add parchment paper on the air fryer basket or try. Lay the waffle sticks and wedges and brush with few drops of avocado or coconut oil. You can also use cooking oil spray for this step and just spray evenly on both surfaces. If you want to do it oil-free, skip the oil brushing step. Sprinkle with some cinnamon and air fry for 3 minutes and then for 2 minutes after turning the waffle sticks.
- In a shallow bowl, add a tablespoon of cinnamon and 2 tablespoon of powdered erythritol sweetener. Mix well to combine.
- Once the air frying time is over, cool the waffle wedges and sticks for 3 to 5 minutes. Sprinkle with some cinnamon sugar or add to the bowl with cinnamon sugar and toss to coat well. Your waffle churros are ready. Serve them with homemade chocolate sauce or berry compote sauce.
- In a small microwave-safe glass bowl, add coconut cream and maple syrup. Microwave high for 30-seconds and mix. Then add the rest of the ingredients and whish well. Now, microwave again for another 30 to 90 seconds until all the ingredients are well combined. Serve the sauce with waffle churros.
- Berry compote sauce: In a saucepan, add 1 cup blueberry, 1 cup chopped strawberries, and 1 tablespoon erythritol. Use a spoon to break the berries and allow them to sweat. When the sauce bubbles and reaches a thick consistency, add two tablespoon of water and switch off the stove. Once cooled, transfer the sauce to a blender and blend till a puree is formed.
- Serve the berry compote sauce with Organic Blueberry waffle churros.
