Description
Delicious vegan churros that are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, perfect for dipping in dairy-free chocolate or vegan caramel sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup water
- 2 tbsp coconut sugar
- 2 tbsp coconut oil
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ tsp sea salt
- ½ cup organic cane sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- Optional for Dipping: Dairy-free chocolate sauce or vegan caramel sauce
Instructions
- Make the Dough: In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the water, coconut sugar, and coconut oil. Stir gently until the sugar dissolves and the mixture just begins to simmer. Turn off the heat, stir in the vanilla extract, then add the flour and salt all at once. Use a wooden spoon to stir vigorously until the dough comes together and pulls away from the sides. It should look like a smooth ball of dough.
- Pipe the Churros: Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a large star tip. Pipe the dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet in long strips or any desired shape. If air frying, pipe directly into the air fryer basket lined with parchment.
- Bake or Air Fry: Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 18–20 minutes until golden brown, or air fry at 375°F for 10–12 minutes, flipping halfway if needed. You’ll know they’re done when they’re puffed up and lightly golden.
- Coat in Cinnamon Sugar: While still warm, toss the churros in a mixture of cane sugar and cinnamon until evenly coated. The warmth helps the sugar adhere perfectly.
- Serve with Dipping Sauce: Enjoy your vegan churros warm, dipped in melted dairy-free chocolate or your favorite vegan-friendly sauce.
Notes
- Ensure the oil is melted before combining with other ingredients.
- These churros are best served fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for a day.
