Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 cup almond flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup or honey
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1/4 cup coconut sugar for coating

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  7. After removing the churro bites from the oven, immediately roll each one in the cinnamon-sugar mixture to coat thoroughly.
  8. Bake the bites in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown and slightly firm to the touch.
