For me, when I think of the fairs and carnivals that I enjoyed during my childhood in the U.S., I think of churros! The jam or chocolate filled fried dough delights that were so crunchy & fluffy, yet light enough that I could eat one after the other. 

My all-time favorite kind have always been the strawberry-jam filled churros 🙂

Back then in the early 2000’s they were only a dollar each! And this is because they’re very simple to make with only flour, water, and salt. The jam filling and sweetened crust is what makes these so addictive! 

In this recipe, I follow the Mexican-style churro recipe that excludes eggs or butter and developed the best sweetening mix for the fried crust: brown coconut sugar, brown monkfruit sweetener, and cinnamon! It tastes exactly like the traditional ones I know and love, if not better. May you enjoy them too!
