Keto churro bites
Ingredients
Churro bites
- 6 oz. (1½ cups) mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 2 tbsp cream cheese
- 1 cup (4 oz.) almond flour
- 3 tbsp whey protein isolate (unflavored)
- ¼ cup (1¾ oz.) erythritol
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp white wine vinegar
- ½ tsp baking soda
- 2 cups oil for frying, or as much as you need to cover the bites in oil
Cinnamon topping
- ¼ cup (1¾ oz.) erythritol
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
Churro bites
Melt the mozzarella and cream cheese in a non-stick pan over medium heat or in a bowl in the microwave. Stir until thoroughly combined. Add the almond flour, whey protein isolate, erythritol, egg, white wine vinegar, and baking soda. Form a smooth dough by kneading it with your hands or using an electric mixer with dough hooks.
Divide the dough into balls with your fingers or a small cookie scoop; they should be about 1-1/2 inches (4 cm) in diameter.
Heat the oil in a deep pan to 325°F (160°C). Fry the churros in batches for 1-1/2 to 2 minutes until golden, rolling them around gently as they fry. Remove them with a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb the excess oil.
Cinnamon topping
Combine the erythritol and cinnamon in a separate shallow bowl. While the churro bites are still warm, roll them in the cinnamon mixture.
