Ingredients
- 1 cup gluten-free all purpose flour
- 1 cup water
- 2 tbsp coconut sugar
- 3 tbsp coconut oil
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp salt
Cinnamon coating
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
Preparation
Preheat oven to 200C / 400F
In a medium saucepan, add water, sugar, cinnamon, salt and coconut oil
Place over medium-high heat
Heat until mixture starts to simmer
Remove pan from heat, whisk in the flour
Whisk until there are no flour lumps and a dough ball has formed, using a wooden spoon
Transfer your dough to a piping bag fitted with a star nozzle
Pipe dough into long churros. Leave about 2 inches of space between the churros
Brush churros with coconut oil
Bake for around 30 minutes or until golden brown
If you find that yours are still soft, continue to bake
Then turn off the oven and leave churros in there for 10 minutes to dry a little
Combine sugar, cinnamon and salt
Take the churros straight from the oven and toss them in the cinnamon sugar mixture until well covered
It is best to do this when the churros are warm and fresh from the oven
Serve warm with chocolate and enjoy
