These air fryer paleo churros are a delicious and healthy way to enjoy this classic treat. They are made with almond flour and coconut flour, and sweetened with honey. The result is a crispy, flavorful churro that is perfect for dipping in your favorite sauce.
Churros are a fried-dough pastry that is popular in many Spanish-speaking countries. They are typically made with wheat flour, but this recipe uses almond flour and coconut flour instead. This makes them a great option for people who are following a paleo diet. I first came up with this recipe when I was looking for a way to make churros that were both paleo-friendly and delicious. I experimented with different combinations of flours and sweeteners until I came up with this recipe. These churros are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and they have the perfect amount of sweetness. I hope you enjoy them!
