If you’re ready for the recipe, it’s just below. These churros bake up golden and satisfyingly crisp on the outside while staying tender inside. Scroll down for the full ingredients and instructions.
Ingredients
- 1 batch fathead dough (see notes if you need a recipe)
- 3 tablespoons butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
- ¼ cup erythritol (or preferred granulated keto sweetener)
Chocolate Sauce
- ½ cup sugar-free chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for a subtle kick)
Directions
Prepare all ingredients before you start to keep the process smooth. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll the refrigerated fathead dough between two sheets of plastic wrap into a rectangular shape.
In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, cinnamon, and erythritol. Spread this mixture evenly over the rolled dough. Using a pizza cutter or sharp knife, slice the dough into 1–2-inch strips.
Twist each strip and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Repeat with remaining strips. Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until the churros are golden and slightly crisp.
While the churros bake, prepare the chocolate sauce. Place the sugar-free chocolate chips and heavy cream in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in short intervals, stirring every 15 seconds, until the mixture is melted and smooth. Stir in cayenne if using, for a gentle heat.
Once the churros are done, let them cool for a few minutes, then dip into the chocolate sauce and serve warm.
Enjoy these churros fresh from the oven for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
- If you don’t have a fathead dough recipe, use a trusted fathead pizza dough recipe as the base—roll and proceed as directed above.
- For a different texture, you can shallow-fry the twisted strips in oil until golden instead of baking them.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat briefly in a warm oven to refresh crispness.
