If making conventional churros doesn’t hit the spot anymore try Our Keto Churro Mini Bites. Crispy, cinnamon-coated, and perfectly bite-sized, these mini churros are a yummy snack or dessert option.

Enjoy the warm, comforting taste of churros without compromising on flavor or texture. It's time to treat yourself to a mini escape to churro-land!

Keto churro bites are the answer when you’re craving a sweet, delicious, donut-like dessert but want to keep on track with your keto lifestyle. Traditional churro recipes can be a little complicated and time-consuming, so we’ve created churro bites; a smaller version of churros that replicate the crispy, cinnamon-coated classic but contain a mere 1.7g of net carbs per serving.

Perfect enjoyed as a snack or a dessert, our keto churro bites will quickly become a family favorite, and since all of the ingredients are storecupboard-friendly, you’ll be able to whip up a batch at a moment’s notice! The thick dough is brought to life with almond and coconut flour, eggs, and melted butter, creating a lusciously dense texture able to be rolled into balls to form the churro bites.

You only need to carve out 15 minutes of preparation time and 10 minutes of cooking time to make our churro recipe, and baking the bites in the oven means no fussing around with frying them in hot oil. Baking the bites also means they become moreishly crispy on the outside, but remain light and fluffy on the inside. Granulated low-carb sweetener and vanilla extract ensure each churro bite is sweet without any need for sugars or syrups.

Churro Bite Ingredients

For The Churro Dough

• Almond Flour: Light in color and subtle in flavor, almond flour is the ideal alternative to typical wheat flour that’s loaded with carbohydrates. Almond flour helps form the base for the churro dough, kicking off the recipe with gentle sweetness.
• Coconut Flour: Alongside almond flour, coconut flour also helps form the churro dough. When whisked with eggs, salt, and keto sweetener, coconut flour thickens the mixture, absorbing any liquid ingredients and aiding in the creation of a smooth, pliable dough mix.
• Granulated Low Carb Sweetener: Traditional churros are notorious for being sweet and sugary, but our recipe doesn’t contain sugar, instead utilizing granulated low-carb sweetener for a sweet hit without additional carbs. Granulated stevia or monk fruit sweeteners work well in the recipe, bringing a candy-like flavor to the dough.
• Baking Powder: Incorporating baking powder into the dough helps create a light and airy churro texture once the bites have been baked. The optimal texture for the churro bites is fluffy and airy on the inside with a crunchy cinnamon-coated exterior, and baking powder is a key ingredient to achieving this.
• Salt: A pinch of salt to the dough helps avoid a sickly taste to the churro bites and also enhances the other flavors within such as vanilla extract and cinnamon. As the churro ingredients are predominantly sweet, a dash of salt brings balance and a hint of flavor contrast.
• Eggs: Eggs are a star ingredient in many dough recipes, and they are key in creating a delicious churro dough. The egg whites and yolks are both required and once whisked into the other dough ingredients, the eggs transform the color of the churro dough into a radiant, golden color.
• Melted Butter: Butter is known for bringing rich decadence to any recipe, and our keto churros would be lost without the sweet taste of butter. Brushing the churro bites in melted butter after baking them in the oven helps the cinnamon coating stick to each bite.
• Vanilla Extract: Florally sweet with an inviting scent, vanilla extract is non-negotiable in our churros! Only a small drop of vanilla is needed, and it has the power to infuse the bites with a classic vanilla churro flavor.

For The Coating

• Granulated Keto Sweetener: For the cinnamon churro coating, a simple blend of granulated keto sweetener and ground cinnamon is all that’s needed. The two ingredients transform the churro bites into moreish delights echoing traditional churro flavors while keeping carbohydrates low.
• Ground Cinnamon: A churro without cinnamon wouldn’t be the same, and the sweet coating is exactly where ground cinnamon belongs. Once the churro bites have been brushed with melted butter, the cinnamon and granulated sweetener mix sticks to the bites as a warm, fragrant, mouthwatering garnish.

How To Make Keto Churro Bites

Our keto churro bites are an impressive dessert to serve up at a dinner party or as a tasty snack for the whole family to turn to when a boost of energy is needed! It’s hard to believe the churro bites are keto-friendly as they echo the traditional churro flavor and texture so well. In less than 30 minutes, you can have 12 keto churro bites ready to serve, but it’s wise to double the mixture if you have guests visiting as they are so good that everyone will want to eat at least a couple!

1. Prep oven and baking sheet: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with baking paper.
2. Combine dry ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk the almond flour, coconut flour, low-carb sweetener, baking powder, and salt together.

3. Combine wet ingredients: Using a separate bowl, beat the eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.

4. Combine wet and dry ingredients: Add the wet ingredients to the bowl containing the dry ingredients and mix until a thick dough forms.
5. Shape into churro bites: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the dough out of the mixture and roll them into mini churro shapes.
6. Transfer to baking sheet: Place the churro bites on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each one so they don’t stick together as they cook.

7. Bake the keto churro bites: Transfer the tray to the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until they become golden brown and firm to the touch.

8. Prep the cinnamon coating: While the churro bites are baking, mix the remaining granulated low-carb sweetener and ground cinnamon in a shallow bowl.
9. Cool and coat: Remove the churro bites from the oven once browned and allow them to cool slightly. Brush each bite with melted butter or coconut oil, before rolling them in the cinnamon-sweetener mixture until generously coated. Serve warm and enjoy!
