Overview of Recipe Content
These Keto Cinnamon Churros are:
- A guilt‑free low‑carb dessert or snack
- Perfect for satisfying sweet cravings with minimal sugar

What you’ll taste: golden, doughnut‑like bites with chewy centers and a crunchy cinnamon coating—just sweet enough to delight without spiking carbs.
Health benefits: Almond and coconut flours keep carbs low, eggs add protein, and erythritol is keto‑safe. Perfect for those on a ketogenic or low‑carb lifestyle.
Ingredients:
- 1½ cups almond flour
- ¼ cup coconut flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tbsp melted butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tbsp erythritol (or your preferred keto sweetener)
- ⚙︎ For coating: extra erythritol + cinnamon
Tools Needed:
- Mixing bowls
- Piping bag with star nozzle (or zip‑top bag corner snipped)
- Deep skillet or saucepan for frying (or air‑fryer if preferred)
- Slotted spoon
- Paper towels
Substitutions & Add‑Ins:
- Replace eggs with egg replacer if dairy‑free (texture may vary)
- Use allulose instead of erythritol for a softer coating
- Add a pinch of nutmeg or cardamom to the dough for extra warmth
- For a twist: brush with melted butter and dust with cocoa powder instead of cinnamon
How to Make Keto Cinnamon Churros
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
- Whisk wet ingredients: In another bowl, beat eggs, melted butter, almond milk, vanilla, and erythritol until smooth.
- Combine: Slowly stir wet into dry until a slightly thick dough forms (it will be pipe‑able yet soft).
- Pipe churros: Fill your piping bag and pipe ~3‑inch ropes onto a parchment‑lined tray.
- Chill briefly: Let the piped dough sit for 5–10 minutes to firm up so they hold shape.
- Fry or air‑fry:
- Oil: Heat avocado or coconut oil to 350 °F (175 °C). Fry churros in batches ~2–3 minutes per side until golden. Drain on paper towels.
- Air‑fryer: Spray lightly with oil and air‑fry at 360 °F (180 °C) for 8–10 minutes, turning once.
- Coat: While warm, toss churros in a cinnamon‑erythritol mix for that signature crunch.
- Serve immediately—still warm, slightly crisp, utterly dreamy.
As each batch fries—or air‑fries—you’ll get that irresistible aroma of cinnamon and warm dough rising up: memories of fairground churros, but guilt‑free and clean‑eating approved.
What to Serve with Keto Cinnamon Churros
- A small bowl of sugar‑free chocolate dipping sauce or whipped cream
- Almond milk latte or unsweetened cappuccino
- Fresh berries or a scoop of sugar-free vanilla ice cream for contrast
Tips for Making It Perfect
- Don’t over‑mix—just until combined to keep churros tender
- Chill piped dough briefly to prevent spreading in oil
- Fry in small batches to keep oil temperature steady
- Use a thermometer for accurate frying temp (too hot = burnt edges, too cool = greasy)
Storage Instructions
Refrigerator: Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Freezer: Freeze flat on parchment, then transfer to freezer bag for up to 1 month.
Reheat: Oven or air‑fryer for 3–5 minutes at 350 °F to restore crispness. Microwave tends to make them chewy instead of crunchy.

Yes! Just fry in smaller batches to avoid crowding the pan.
Q: Are these suitable for diabetics?
With erythritol or allulose, they’re relatively low impact—but always monitor your own tolerance.
