Gluten Free Chocolate-Filled Cinnamon Sugar Bites (Edit recipe)

These delightful chocolate-filled cinnamon sugar bites are an absolute treat! Inspired by a simple favorite I've made countless times with the Trader Joe's gluten free pizza dough, these bites are made with a homemade dough and a gooey chocolate center, coated in cinnamon sugar, and topped with an extra drizzle of chocolate. They're gluten free and vegan - and they even got a 10/10 from my hubby who can be a tough critic. Enjoy them indulgently, best while warm and gooey inside—good luck stopping at just one!

For the Dough

**If you prefer to use a premade refrigerated dough, start with step #5 to divide the dough evenly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and cinnamon.
In a separate small mixing bowl, stir together the warm water, yeast, and olive oil until well mixed.
Pour the water mixture into the flour mixture and knead until thoroughly combined. If the dough feels too dry, wet your hands slightly as needed while incorporating; this gradual addition of water prevents excess water all at once, maintaining the dough's consistency. Aim for a slightly wet, pizza-dough-like texture.
Divide the dough into 10-12 evenly-sized pieces. You can either weigh each dough ball or use a knife to cut them evenly. Roll out each dough piece into circles.

For the Coating & Filling:

Place a little less than 1 tablespoon of chocolate chips in the center, then seal the dough around the chocolate to form a ball. Roll it between your hands to ensure it's uniform.
Spray the outside of each ball with avocado oil spray.
In a small bowl, add the cinnamon sugar. Roll each ball in the cinnamon sugar until completely coated.
Transfer the coated bites to a preheated 350°F air fryer and air fry for about 7-8 minutes, shaking halfway through. Cooking time may vary depending on the air fryer and ball size.
Remove from the air fryer.
In a separate bowl, melt some chocolate chips using a double boiler or microwave. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the air-fried bites.
Enjoy while warm!

Notes

You can use any chocolate you like in this recipe—whether it's dark, milk, or semi-sweet. If you're not into making your dough from scratch, grab a refrigerated gluten free dough (Trader Joe's has a good one) for a quick and easy swap. These bites taste best when they're nice and warm straight from the air fryer. Instead of a chocolate drizzle, you could also dunk them right in the melted chocolate. If you're craving more cinnamon sugar goodness, after air frying, try brushing or dunking the bites in butter for an added layer before sprinkling on a little extra cinnamon sugar.
