Homemade Mini Churros

We're all about those vegan desserts around here! These are super simple and really tasty, but take a bit of multi-tasking skills. You'll want a kitchen thermometer, and a large piping kit.

1. In a small saucepan over medium heat combine water, sugar, salt, and oil
2. Bring to a boil and then remove from heat
3. Add flour, stirring until mixture forms a ball
4. Spoon mixture into piping bag with preferred piping tip (my fave)

6. In separate bowl mix cinnamon and sugar for sugar coating

12. Enjoy
