Instructions
For the churros
- In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, chili powder and salt.
- In a medium pot over medium-high heat, add water, pumpkin puree, margarine and vanilla extract. Bring to a boil, whisking constantly and remove from heat.
- Pour the flour mixture into the pumpkin mixture and stir with a wooden spoon until just combined. Let sit and cool down for 2 minutes.
- Add in the eggs one at a time, vigorously mixing together the dough with the wooden spoon until each egg is incorporated. It may seem like the eggs aren't mixing with the dough, but just keep mixing until they are, about 1 to 2 minutes each egg. The dough should be smooth and the consistency of a very thick pudding.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper. Place the dough into a pastry bag with a star tip. I used a Wilton 1M star tip. If you use a larger one, you may get less churros overall because they'll be thicker, but they'll still be delicious!
- Pipe 6-inch lines of churro dough onto the prepared baking sheets and bake for 25 minutes. Turn oven off and leave churros in for another 10 minutes.
For the coating
- While churros are baking, add cinnamon and sugar to a large plate. Mix together until well combined and set aside until ready to coat the churros.
- To coat, brush churros with melted margarine using a pastry brush and roll in cinnamon sugar mixture.
Notes
- *Nutritional information is based on a total of 36 churros. I used a Wilton 1M star tip, but if you use a different size, your total churro count will likely be different.
