I made this Vegan Churros for my aunt’s garden party last month. The outside stayed crisp with soft centers, and my nephew loved them.
With minimal ingredients and straightforward steps, these churros make a delicious vegan dessert that everyone can enjoy. Serve them with a side of chocolate sauce or cinnamon sugar for an extra treat.
Delicious Vegan Churros Recipe
These churros are made from a simple dough, fried until golden brown, and coated in cinnamon sugar for a sweet finish. The recipe takes about 30 minutes from start to finish and yields about 12 churros.
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup water
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup sugar combined with 2 teaspoons cinnamon for coating
- Oil for frying
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: In a medium saucepan, combine water, sugar, and oil. Bring to a boil. Remove from heat and stir in flour, baking powder, and salt until a dough forms.
- Shape the Churros: Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a large star tip. Pipe 6-inch long strips of dough onto parchment paper.
- Heat the Oil: In a deep skillet, heat oil over medium heat until it reaches around 350°F (175°C).
- Fry the Churros: Carefully drop churros into the hot oil, frying 3-4 at a time for about 2-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.
- Coat with Cinnamon Sugar: While still warm, roll the churros in cinnamon sugar mixture until fully coated.
- Serve: Enjoy your crispy vegan churros warm, with chocolate sauce or your favorite dipping sauce.
