Equipment

  • 1 Medium saucepan
  • 1 Whisk
  • 1 Wooden Spoon or Spatula
  • 1 Large pastry bag fitted with a large star tip
  • 1 Deep fryer or large pot
  • 1 Tongs or slotted spoon
  • 1 Paper towel-lined plate
  • Shallow dish for cinnamon-sugar mixture

Ingredients
  

  • 1 Cup Water
  • 1/4 Cup Unsalted butter or coconut oil
  • 1/4 Cup Keto-friendly sweetener (erythritol, monk fruit blend, etc.)
  • 1/4 Tsp Salt
  • 1 Cup Almond flour
  • 1/4 Cup Coconut flour
  • 1 Large Egg
  • 1 Tsp Vanilla extract
  • Oil for frying (coconut oil, avocado oil, or neutral frying oil)
  • 1/4 Cup Keto-friendly sweetener
  • 1 Tsp Ground cinnamon

Instructions
 

  • Make the Dough:
     In a saucepan, heat water, butter (or coconut oil), sweetener, and salt over medium heat. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to low. Add almond flour and coconut flour and stir vigorously until the dough pulls away from the sides and forms a ball. Remove from heat and let cool for 5 minutes. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
  • Heat Oil: 
    Fill a deep fryer or large pot with 2 inches of oil. Heat to 360°F (180°C). Use a candy thermometer for accuracy.
  • Pipe and Fry: 
    Transfer dough to the pastry bag. Pipe 4-5 inch ropes of dough directly into the hot oil, using a knife or scissors to cut the dough. Fry in batches until golden brown, turning for even cooking.
  • Drain and Coat: 
    Remove churros with tongs or a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Immediately roll in the keto-friendly sweetener and cinnamon mixture.
