Equipment

Mixing bowls
Fork or potato masher
Whisk
Piping bag with star tip
Deep frying pan or pot
Slotted spoon
Paper towels

Ingredients

2 medium ripe avocados (approximately 400g)
1 cup almond flour (100g)
¼ cup coconut flour (30g)
¼ cup erythritol or preferred keto sweetener (50g)
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
½ tsp baking powder
½ tsp cinnamon
¼ tsp salt
Oil for frying (avocado oil or coconut oil)
Optional: Additional erythritol and cinnamon for dusting

Instructions

Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl. Mash the avocado until smooth using a fork or a potato masher.
In a separate bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, erythritol, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Whisk together until well-blended.
Add the mashed avocado, egg, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir until a dough forms. It should be slightly sticky but manageable.
Transfer the dough into a piping bag fitted with a large star tip. Pipe 4-6 inch long churros directly onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
In a deep frying pan or pot, heat about 2 inches of oil over medium heat. To check if the oil is ready, drop a small piece of dough into the oil; it should sizzle and rise to the surface.
Carefully place a few churros into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Use a slotted spoon to remove them and drain on paper towels.
While still warm, mix additional erythritol and cinnamon in a small bowl. Roll the fried churros in this mixture to coat them evenly.
Enjoy your Fried Avocado Churros warm, perhaps with a side of keto-friendly chocolate sauce or whipped cream for dipping.

Notes

Ensure the oil temperature is consistent to achieve evenly cooked churros. You can experiment with different flavorings by adding cocoa powder or nutmeg to the dough.
