Equipment

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.
