🍽️ Makes 26

Ingredients

1 cup	240 ml	water
1/2 cup	120 ml	butter
1 tbsp	15 ml	granulated sugar
1 cup	240 ml	all-purpose flour
3		eggs
1/2 tsp	2.5 ml	vanilla extract
1/2 cup	120 ml	granulated sugar (for coating)
2 tsp	10 ml	cinnamon
3/4 cup	180 ml	chocolate chips (for the sauce)
1 tsp	5 ml	coconut oil (for the sauce)

In a saucepan on the stove, bring water to a boil and stir in 1 tablespoon of the sugar and butter.
Once melted, reduce heat to medium/low and fold in flour. Remove from heat.
In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs and vanilla extract.
Slowly fold a few eggs into the dough. Keep repeating until eggs are well combined into the dough. Let cool.
Place dough into a pastry bag with a star-shaped tip. (I'm actually using a Wilton decorator, pictured.) Pipe 6-inch long churros onto a parchment paper lined baking pan or a silicone mat.
Place tray into the fridge to chill for about 30 minutes. (This makes your dough less sticky and easier to work with.)
Place a single layer of churros, not touching each other, in the air fryer. Air fry for 10 minutes at 380 degrees.
Mix cinnamon and 1/2 cup of the sugar together on a small plate.
Once churros are done cooking, roll them in the cinnamon sugar mixture and place them on a cookie cooling rack. Repeat the process until all churros are cooked.
To make the chocolate sauce, melt chocolate chips and coconut oil in a glass bowl using the microwave for about 20-30 seconds. Mix well and dip warm churros in the sauce to serve!

This recipe makes about 26, six-inch churros.
