Churros Veganos

Churros Veganos are a delightful twist on the traditional Spanish treat, made entirely plant-based for a guilt-free indulgence. Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, these churros are perfect for breakfast or a snack, served with a rich chocolate sauce.

Ingredients

• all-purpose flour - 120 grams
• water - 240 milliliters
• coconut oil - 2 tablespoons
• sugar - 2 tablespoons
• baking powder - 1 teaspoon
• vanilla extract - 1 teaspoon
• salt - 1/4 teaspoon
• cinnamon - 1 teaspoon
• powdered sugar - for dusting
• dark chocolate (vegan) - 100 grams
• plant-based milk - 100 milliliters

Steps

1. In a saucepan, combine water, coconut oil, sugar, and salt. Heat over medium until boiling.
2. Once boiling, remove from heat and stir in the flour, baking powder, and vanilla extract until a dough forms.
3. Let the dough cool for about 10 minutes. Preheat your oil for frying in a deep pan to 180°C (350°F).
4. Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a star-shaped nozzle.
5. Pipe long strips of dough into the hot oil, cutting them to your desired length with scissors.
6. Fry the churros until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes on each side. Remove and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.
7. In a small saucepan, melt the dark chocolate with plant-based milk over low heat, stirring until smooth.
8. Mix cinnamon and powdered sugar in a bowl, then toss the churros in this mixture while they are still warm.
9. Serve the churros warm with the melted chocolate for dipping.
