Ingredients

Scale

Dough Ingredients

  • 1 cup water
  • 2 tbsp plant-based butter (natural)
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp natural gelling agent
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup plant-based milk

Cinnamon Sugar Coating

  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp cinnamon (natural)

Frying Oil

  • Vegetable oil, for frying

Plant-Based Chocolate Dip

  • 1/2 cup plant-based chocolate (natural)
  • 2 tbsp plant-based milk
  • 1 tsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 1/2 tsp apple cider vinegar

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: Combine water, plant-based butter (natural), and salt in a saucepan. Bring to a gentle boil, then remove from heat. Stir in all-purpose flour and natural gelling agent all at once. Stir vigorously until the dough pulls together into a smooth ball.
  2. Cool and Combine: Allow the dough to cool for a few minutes. Mix in granulated sugar and plant-based milk until fully incorporated, resulting in a smooth, slightly sticky dough.
  3. Pipe the Churros: Fit a piping bag with a star-shaped nozzle and fill with the dough. Pipe strips about 4-5 inches long onto parchment paper or prepare directly for frying.
  4. Fry Until Golden: Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan to 350°F (175°C). Fry churro strips in batches, turning until golden brown and crispy on all sides. Remove and drain on paper towels.
  5. Coat with Cinnamon Sugar: While warm, toss churros in a mixture of granulated sugar and cinnamon (natural) to coat evenly.
  6. Prepare the Plant-Based Chocolate Dip: Melt plant-based chocolate (natural) with plant-based milk, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), and apple cider vinegar in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir until smooth and glossy for dipping.

Notes

  • Keep frying oil steady at 350°F (175°C) to avoid soggy or burnt churros.
  • Pipe churros in uniform lengths to ensure even cooking.
  • Mix cinnamon sugar fresh before coating to keep the flavor vibrant.
  • Drain churros well on paper towels to maintain crispness.
  • Serve churros warm for best taste and texture.
