Ingredients

• 1 cup Water
• 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 cups Vegetable oil for frying
• 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
• 0.5 cup Additional granulated sugar for coating

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, combine the water, coconut oil, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Heat the mixture over medium heat until it comes to a boil.

Step 2

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and add the all-purpose flour all at once. Stir vigorously with a wooden spoon until the mixture pulls away from the sides of the pan and forms a smooth ball of dough. This should take about 1-2 minutes.

Step 3

Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the dough cool for about 5 minutes.

Step 4

Transfer the slightly cooled dough into a piping bag fitted with a star tip. Allow it to rest for a few more minutes while you prepare the oil.

Step 5

In a large, deep skillet or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. The oil should reach about 350°F (175°C). You can test it by dropping a small piece of dough; it should sizzle and rise to the surface immediately.

Step 6

Carefully pipe 2-inch strips of dough directly into the hot oil, using scissors to cut off the ends. Fry the mini churros in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan.

Step 7

Fry the churros for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove the churros from the oil and transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.

Step 8

In a shallow dish, mix the additional granulated sugar with the cinnamon.

Step 9

While the churros are still warm, roll them in the cinnamon sugar mixture until well coated.

Step 10

Serve the vegan mini churros immediately, optionally with a vegan chocolate sauce or your favorite dip.
