Ingredients

  • 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup Water
  • 6 tablespoon organic cane sugar or granular sugar of choice
  • ½ cup Avocado oil**
  • 2 tbs Coconut Oil
  • 1 tablespoon Bob's Red Mill egg replacer mix mixed with 3 tbsp. water
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon Sea Salt

Optional, chocolate sauce

  • ¼ cup melted coconut oil
  • 3 tablespoon cacao powder
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup

Optional

  • fresh fruit

Instructions

  • In a dish, combine ¼ cup sugar with 1 tablespoon cinnamon, set aside.
  • Heat water, coconut oil, and 2 tablespoons of sugar in a medium-large pot over medium-high heat. Remove from heat once boiling.
  • Lower heat and return to stove then add flour, vanilla, salt, vegan egg, and baking powder to the liquid mixture.
  • Using a mixing spoon, stir until well-combined (dough pulls away from pot sides forming a ball and is smooth in texture). Once finished, remove from heat and let cool ~10 minutes.
  • While the dough cools, heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat and add avocado oil.
  • While the oil heats up, and once the dough is cooled enough to handle, scoop dough into a pastry bag fitted with a medium to large open star piping tip.
  • Pipe 3” long churros into oil, using a knife to separate piped churro from the piping tip.
  • Fry numerous churros at once for ~6 minutes, flipping halfway. Once done frying, place on-to a paper towel-lined plate for ~3 minutes.
  • Next, roll churros in the cinnamon-sugar mixture, and lightly tap off any excess cinnamon sugar.
  • Divide into 4 portions, optionally served with chocolate dipping sauce and fresh berries.
  • Serve, store, and enjoy!
