Serving and Pairing Suggestions

When it comes to serving these churros, they shine best when they’re freshly made. Imagine taking a bite and feeling that crunchy exterior followed by the soft, warm interior—yum!

Serve them up with a side of Watermelon Sangria for a summer feel, or try them with a little Vegan Chocolate Avocado Mousse for a refreshing chocolate twist.

If you’re still in the mood for something savory to balance it out, I recommend pairing it with Vegan Tofu Scramble. It’s a match that goes beyond sweet and savory!

Tips and Notes

  • Gluten-Free Flour: Make sure to use a high-quality gluten-free flour blend. Find one that includes xanthan gum for the best texture.
  • Fry Time: Ensure the oil is hot enough before frying. This helps achieve that perfect crispy texture. If bubbles form around the dough when you drop it in, you’re good to go!
  • Storage: These churros are best enjoyed fresh, but you can keep leftovers in an airtight container for up to two days. For a quick reheat, pop them in the toaster oven!
