Ingredients
- 270ml water
- 150g flour
3 tbsp. 100% Coconut Oil - 1 tbsp. coconut sugar
5 drops FlavDrops (Toffee)
- 2 tbsp. stevia sweetener
- 1 tbsp. cinnamon
Protein Spread (for dipping)
Method
- Preheat the oven at 180°C.
Add the water and coconut oil to a saucepan and heat gently until the oil melts. Then add the sugar and FlavDrops and mix. - Add flour — make sure to sieve this first so that you don’t get lumps — and mix with a spatula until it forms a dough.
- Let the dough cool down for around 10 minutes and then carefully transfer into a piping bag with a close star nozzle. Pipe the dough onto a baking tray into long sausages, using a pair of scissors to chop at the length you want.
- Cook in the oven for 20-30 minutes until golden and a bit crunchy on the outside.
- In the meantime, mix together the zero-calorie sweetener and cinnamon to make a sweet cinnamon dusting. Once the churros are cooked, take them out and coat them in this dusting.
