Matcha Churros with Coconut Caramel

Matcha vegan churros. Had a craving to satisfy, so I whipped out the matcha again 😊. By replacing butter with vegetable oil and removing the eggs, churro batter becomes much less flavorful, which makes it ideal for introducing delicate flavors such as matcha! While the exterior becomes a crispy golden brown, the interior remains a beautiful green. Instead of the traditional cinnamon sugar dusting, these were coated with a matcha sugar mixture. For dipping, I made 3 small batches (because I accidentally burned 2) of salted coconut caramel. #vegan #veganrecipes #plantbased #churros #veganchurros #matchachurros #coconutcaramel
