EASY KETO CHURROS
These easy keto churros are PERFECT! I honestly can’t even describe how delicious they are and definitely taste very similar to what you’d get at a fair!
This recipe is super similar to my keto fried donut holes recipe. Except I added a little bit of water to make the dough a little bit more runny. Obviously, we also pipe the dough into the fryer to get that long churro shape.
Because I didn’t have a star shaped piping tool (actually I do, but I couldn’t find it), my churros are more round than normal, but that’s ok. You don’t have to use a piping tool if you don’t have one.
As for the deep frying, make sure you take proper precautions when deep frying. Use an oil that has a high smoke point. I used beef drippings because it has no aftertaste. It’s truly the best for frying I’ve found.
The rest of the recipe is fairly straightforward. If you have any questions, make sure to comment below!

What you will need:
1 cup (100g) almond flour
1 scoop (30g) whey isolate (flavoured or unflavoured)
1/2 tsp xanthan gum
4 tbsp sugar substitute
3 tsp olive oil
1 tsp vanilla
2 medium eggs
1 tbsp water
oil or drippings for deep frying
1/2 cup (100g) sugar substitute
Place your oil or drippings into a small but deep pot over medium heat.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, whey isolate, xanthan gum and 4 tbsp of sugar substitute.
Crack in the eggs and add the vanilla, water and olive oil.
Mix thoroughly until you get a cake-like batter.
Scoop the batter into a piping bag or into a sandwich bag (a freezer bag also works)
Cut the corner of the bag so the opening is about 1-1.5cm thick (1/2 inch)
Once the oil is at temperature, pipe a line of dough into the batter to form the churro.
You can add multiple lines of dough! For the size of my pot, I added about 3 max per deep fry.
Make sure you turn them frequently, especially when they first rise to the top of the oil.
Once they are a nice golden brown, take them out and place them onto a paper towel.
Pipe more dough into the fryer.
Take the churros you just took out and drop them into a bowl or the sugar substitute to coat them all over.
Repeat with the rest of the dough!
Enjoy!
This made approximately 35 churros.

What can I sub for whey?
What would be a good substitute for the whey powder?
I made these with my kids and it was really fun! 🙂 They weren't that into it, but my husband and I loved it! 😃
WOW! ¡Fantástico! Thank you!
What pan/oil/equipment is used to fry? I've never done that before?
What can I substitute with whey isolate?
I subbed whey isolate with collagen powder..it came out like funnel cake texture. So delicious!
Do I have to put the whey in it? Substitute? Or maybe without? Is it possible
Awesome!!! Just tried them, they are delicious! Thank you for this!!
I get that you we want healthy options, but some recipes are better left alone, it is a disgrace to ruin them. Why not indulge in the real thing for one day out of a week or month and be strict the rest of the days . These are definitely NOT churros! Just some pastry thing
Are they crispy? I made another recipe and they were soft…
Oh por Dios q rico se ve
What is the second ingredient?!
Can I use almond flour instead of the whey?
What brand beef drippings? Would love to try
What sugar substitute do you like using? Monk fruit, erythritol, or stevia??
Awesome recipe I used avocado oil instead of olive and added a pinch of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of baking powder and made them in an electric Churro so no deep frying. Then brushed them with butter and rolled them granular erythritol and cinnamon. I can see making these in all kinds of flavors yum thanks for the recipe!
Hello, I really like your videos and keep up the great work💪. What brand of whey protein powder do you use? And is whey protein keto friendly?

Do you think I can substitute Egg Protein or Lupin flour for the Whey Protein Isolate?
No wheat flour – no churros 🚫
Could be another thing, but no churros.
There are things unchangeable. This Spanish ancestral recipe is one of it
