A Personal Note

“Hola, I’m Sophia! A few years ago, I visited Madrid and spent my mornings at a tiny café where locals dipped fresh churros into thick, rich chocolate. It was pure heaven. When I switched to keto, I thought I’d never taste that joy again—until I decided to experiment in my kitchen.

After several test batches (and a few kitchen mishaps), I created these Keto Churro Bites—a low-carb, crunchy, cinnamon-kissed version of my favorite Spanish treat. Now, every time I make them, I feel like I’m back at that café, enjoying the best of both worlds: indulgence and keto-friendly goodness!” – Sophia Rivera

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat Oven & Prepare Dough

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, whisk together almond flour, coconut flour, powdered erythritol, baking powder, and cinnamon.

2. Add Wet Ingredients

Stir in the eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until a smooth dough forms.

3. Shape the Churros

Prepare a piping bag with a large star tip. Fill it with the dough and pipe 1-2-inch strips onto a parchment-lined tray or directly into hot oil.

4. Fry Until Golden

Heat coconut/ canola oil in a deep skillet to 350°F (175°C). Fry the churro strips in batches for 2–3 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crisp. Drain on paper towels.

5. Coat with Cinnamon Sugar

Brush each warm churro bite with melted butter, then roll them in the cinnamon-sweetener mixture until evenly coated.

6. Serve & Enjoy!

Enjoy warm with a side of sugar-free chocolate sauce or on their own for a deliciously spiced keto snack.
