Vegan Churros are golden, crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and rolled in cinnamon sugar for the perfect sweet treat. They’re fully plant-based and can be baked, air-fried, or fried traditionally.

Ingredients

250 ml water

110 g vegan butter, unsalted

1 TBS light brown sugar

2 TBS granulated sugar

1 tsp vanilla bean powder or vanilla extract

200 g all-purpose flour

3 flax eggs (3 TBS milled flax seeds + 3 TBS water)

Rapeseed oil spray, for greasing

For the coating:

2 tsp ground cinnamon

70 g granulated sugar

Instructions

  1. Prepare flax eggs by mixing flax seeds with water; set aside to thicken.
  2. In a saucepan, bring water, vegan butter, light brown sugar, granulated sugar, and vanilla to a gentle boil. Remove from heat.
  3. Stir in flour all at once, mixing into a thick dough. Let cool slightly, then mix in flax eggs.
  4. Transfer dough to a piping bag fitted with a star nozzle. Pipe strips onto a parchment-lined tray sprayed with rapeseed oil.
  5. Cook until golden:
    • Air fryer: 200°C (390°F) for 10–12 minutes.
    • Oven: 200°C (390°F) for 18–20 minutes, flipping halfway.
  6. Immediately roll churros in cinnamon sugar while warm.
  7. Serve plain or with dipping sauces like melted vegan chocolate.

Notes

Fill churros with vegan chocolate or caramel for a surprise center.

Add cayenne or cardamom to the cinnamon sugar for a spiced coating.

Fry traditionally at 180°C (350°F) for 2–3 minutes for extra crispiness.

Best served fresh, but can be reheated in oven or air fryer to restore crunch.

Spread churros out after cooking to prevent steaming and softening.
