Ingredient Notes

1 cup of all-purpose flour – for a gluten-free option, use almond or coconut flour. 2 tablespoons of brown sugar – adds richness; substitute with coconut sugar for a lower glycemic option. 1 pound of ripe mangoes – fresh is best, but frozen can work if thawed. 1/2 cup of water – use coconut milk for added flavor.

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Step 2: Slice ripe mangoes and spread them on the baking sheet; roast for 15 minutes until caramelized.
  3. Step 3: In a bowl, combine flour, sugar, and water to form a dough.
  4. Step 4: Scoop the dough into mini churro shapes on the same baking sheet.
  5. Step 5: Bake for 10 minutes until golden brown, then remove and let cool slightly before serving.

Things I’ve Learned

Make sure to use ripe mangoes for the best flavor. If the dough is too sticky, add a bit more flour. Store any leftover churros in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. For longer storage, freeze and reheat in an oven or toaster oven to maintain crispiness.
