Ingredients:
For the Churros:
- 35g plain flour

- 100g low-fat Greek yogurt (about 1/2 cup)
For the Dusting:

Instructions:
- Prepare the Dough:
- Sift the flour and Vanilla Protein Powder into a mixing bowl and whisk to combine thoroughly, ensuring even distribution.
- Mix in Greek Yogurt:
- Add the Greek yogurt to your dry ingredients and stir until a dough forms. If your mixture feels too thick, gradually add a splash of milk to achieve the right consistency.
- Pipe the Churros:
- Spoon your dough into a piping bag fitted with a star nozzle. Carefully pipe out the dough into churro shapes, aiming for about 6 churros total, depending on the size you prefer.
- Cook in Air Fryer:
- Place the piped churros in an air fryer and cook for 8-10 minutes at 180°C (356°F), or until they are golden and crisp.
- Prepare the Dusting:
- While the churros are cooking, mix the granulated stevia and cinnamon in a small bowl.
- Dust and Serve:
- Once cooked, remove the churros from the air fryer, sprinkle generously with your stevia-cinnamon mix, and let them cool slightly before serving.
- Enjoy:
- Serve the churros warm and enjoy a delicious treat that’s both nutritious and satisfying.
