Description
Delight your taste buds with these Keto Spanish Churro Bites served with a creamy cinnamon vanilla dip.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 1/4 cup keto-friendly sweetener (like erythritol)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup coconut oil (for frying)
- For the Creamy Cinnamon Dip:
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon keto sweetener
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Begin by mixing the almond flour, coconut flour, sweetener, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon in a large bowl until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry mixture, stirring until a cohesive dough forms. If the dough feels overly sticky, allow it to rest for about 5 minutes.
- In a deep skillet, heat the coconut oil over medium heat until shimmering.
- Scoop out small portions of the dough, rolling them into balls about 1 inch in diameter. Carefully place them into the hot oil, frying in small batches to prevent overcrowding. Cook until they are golden brown, approximately 2-3 minutes on each side, then transfer to paper towels to drain excess oil.
- To prepare the Creamy Cinnamon Dip, whip the heavy cream with the sweetener, vanilla extract, and cinnamon in a mixing bowl until soft peaks form.
- Serve the churro nuggets warm, sprinkled with extra sweetener and cinnamon, accompanied by the creamy dip for a delightful treat.
Notes
- For an added touch, consider coating the churro nuggets in a blend of sweetener and cinnamon immediately after frying for an extra layer of flavor.
- Alternatively, pair them with a sugar-free chocolate sauce for a delicious twist.
