Here are the ingredients you’ll need to make these vegan and gluten-free tasty treats.
- Oil– You can use any oil that has a neutral flavor. Vegetable, canola, and safflower oil are all great options.

- Water– To mix everything together!
- Flour– Use Either all purpose flour or gluten free flour. If you use the gluten free option, be sure that the flour blend contains xanthan gum, or else your churros will be gummy.

- Coconut cream– Canned coconut cream. Ensure you are using the full fat version, not the reduce fat ones. The latter will result in a more watery sauce.

How to make churros
Start by preparing your churros’ dough. Add your oil, sugar, and water, and bring to a boil. Once boiling, remove from the heat and gently fold through the flour. Continue mixing until a thick dough remains, before transferring to a large piping bag to fit with a star tip.
Heat 1-2 inches of oil in a deep pot or saucepan. Test the oil is hot by adding a drop of the batter into it and seeing if it sizzles. Once hot, carefully pipe the dough into the pan, around 4-5 inches in length. Pipe 3-4 churros per batch and fry each one until golden brown. Once each batch of churros is cooked, let them sit on some paper towel, to soak up excess oil. After 1-2 minutes, quickly dip each one in a mixture of cinnamon and sugar. Enjoy with warm chocolate sauce.
To make the chocolate sauce, heat the coconut cream until warm. Once warm, add in your chocolate and let it sit for 5 minutes, before whisking together until thick and smooth.
