Ingredients
- 1 cup water
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil or vegan butter
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- Vegetable oil for frying
- 1/2 cup sugar for coating
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon for coating
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup almond milk or any plant-based milk
Instructions
- Prepare the Churro Dough: In a medium saucepan, combine water, coconut oil, sugar, and vanilla extract. Bring to a boil, then remove from heat and stir in flour, salt, and baking powder until a dough forms.
- Pipe the Churros: Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a star tip. Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium heat. Pipe 4-5 inch strips of dough into the hot oil, cutting them with scissors. Fry until golden brown on all sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Coat the Churros: Remove churros from the oil and let them drain on paper towels. Mix sugar and cinnamon in a bowl, and toss the churros in the mixture until well coated.
- Make the Chocolate Sauce: In a small saucepan, melt dark chocolate chips over low heat. Stir in almond milk until smooth and creamy.
- Serve: Place churros on a plate and serve warm with the chocolate dipping sauce on the side for dipping.
