Baked Vegan Churros Recipe

How to Make Baked Vegan Churros

• STEP 1.Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper. This ensures your churros don’t stick and will bake evenly.

• STEP 1.In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. This dry mixture is the base of your churros and gives them the classic flavor.

• STEP 2.In a separate bowl, combine the water, vanilla extract, and melted coconut oil. Add this wet mixture to the dry ingredients and stir until everything is well combined. The dough should be thick but not too sticky.

• STEP 3.Transfer the dough into a piping bag fitted with a star-shaped tip. If you don’t have a piping bag, a plastic sandwich bag with the tip of one corner snipped off will work just fine.

• STEP 4.On your prepared baking sheet, pipe long churro shapes, about 4-5 inches long. Make sure they’re evenly spaced so they bake properly. You can pipe the churros directly onto the sheet or make circles for mini churros—whichever you prefer!

• STEP 5.Bake the churros for about 15-20 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on them towards the end to ensure they don’t burn. The smell that fills your kitchen will be irresistible!

• STEP 6.While the churros are baking, mix together the 1/4 cup sugar and 1 tsp cinnamon in a bowl. Once the churros are out of the oven, allow them to cool slightly, then roll them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture to coat them perfectly.

• STEP 7.Serve your best vegan baked churros immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, like warm chocolate or caramel. They’re perfect for any occasion—whether you’re hosting a gathering or just indulging in a sweet treat!
