Ingredients

• All-purpose flour - 125 grams
• Water - 150 ml
• Coconut oil - 2 tablespoons (melted)
• Sugar - 1 tablespoon
• Baking powder - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/4 teaspoon
• Cinnamon - 1 teaspoon
• Sugar (for coating) - 2 tablespoons
• Dark chocolate (vegan) - 100 grams
• Almond milk - 100 ml

Steps

1. In a medium saucepan, combine the water, coconut oil, and sugar. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat.
2. Once boiling, remove from heat and stir in the flour, baking powder, and salt until a dough forms.
3. Let the dough cool for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a piping bag fitted with a star tip.
4. In a shallow pan, mix the sugar and cinnamon for coating the churros.
5. Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan over medium heat until it reaches 180°C (350°F).
6. Pipe the dough into the hot oil in 10cm lengths, cutting with scissors. Fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes on each side.
7. Remove churros from the oil and let them drain on paper towels. While still warm, roll them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
8. For the chocolate sauce, melt the dark chocolate in a saucepan over low heat, then stir in the almond milk until smooth and creamy.
9. Serve the churros warm with the chocolate sauce for dipping.
