Ingredients
1/2 cup almond flour
2 tbsp coconut flour
1/4 tsp baking powder
2 tsp ground cinnamon divided
1/8 tsp salt
1/2 cup unsweetened coconut milk
1 tbsp unsalted butter
3 tbsp cup-for-cup sugar substitute divided
1 large egg

Instructions
1. In a large skillet or deep fat fryer, add 2 to 3 inches of oil, and heat to 350°F. In a small bowl, stir ½ cup
almond flour, 2 tablespoons coconut flour, 1/4 teaspoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon cinnamon and 1/8
teaspoon salt until well mixed and set aside.
2. Bring 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut milk, 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, and 1 tablespoon granular sugar
substitute to a boil in a small sauce pan. Remove the pan from the heat and add in flour mixture stirring
until thick enough to form a ball. Cool for 5 minutes.
3. Add 1 large egg after the dough is cool and mix thoroughly for about 1 minute until a very thick paste
forms. Drop by tablespoons 4-8 at a time into the fryer, rotating halfway through, until they turn golden
brown and crisp on the outside; roughly 3-4 minutes total. Repeat this until all of batter is used, and then
set aside on a paper towel once done.
4. Pulse the remaining granular sugar substitute with 1 teaspoon of cinnamon 1 -2 times in a blender, until
sugar substitute granules are slightly smaller. Roll each warm churrito in the sugar substitute-cinnamon
