flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

Whole wheat flour adds more fiber and nutrients.

butter

🥗Healthier: coconut oil

Coconut oil is a healthier fat alternative.

In a large saucepan over medium heat, add 1 cup of water, 6 tablespoons of butter, 1/4 tablespoon of sugar, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla; bring to heat until it melts and bubbles.

Turn off the heat and stir in 1 cup of flour until a dough forms.

Transfer the dough to a mixing bowl and let it cool for a few minutes.

In a separate bowl, mix 1/2 cup of sugar and 1 tablespoon of cinnamon to create the cinnamon sugar dip.

Once the dough has cooled, use a stand mixer with a paddle attachment to mix in 3 eggs until the desired consistency is reached.

Transfer the dough to a piping bag or a churro maker.

Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C).

Pipe strips of dough into the hot oil, cutting with a knife to desired length.

Fry until golden brown on both sides, about 4-5 minutes.

Remove churros and place on a rack with paper towels to drain excess oil.

While warm, toss churros in the cinnamon sugar mixture.

For the chocolate sauce, combine equal amounts of semi-sweet chocolate chips and cream, microwave for about 1.5 minutes, then mix until smooth.
