These churros have the fluffy inside and crisp, golden exterior you crave—without the carbs. The secret? A packet of sugar-free Jell-O pudding, which gives the dough structure so the churros hold their classic ridged shape while frying.

Recipe Note
What sweeteners work best for the cinnamon coating?
For the best flavor and texture, use a keto-friendly sweetener that doesn't have a cooling aftertaste. Allulose or monk fruit–allulose blends are excellent because they taste closer to real sugar and caramelize beautifully. If you prefer, stevia blends can also work—just be sure to use a granulated form so the coating sticks well.
What oil is best for frying keto churros?
Use a neutral, high–smoke point oil such as avocado oil, refined coconut oil, or light olive oil. These oils can handle the 350 °F (175 °C) frying temperature without breaking down or adding unwanted flavors.
Can I change the flavor of the pudding mix?
Yes! While vanilla pudding is classic, you can use sugar-free chocolate, caramel, or butterscotch pudding to create different flavor profiles without changing the texture of the churros.
