Churros originated in Spain and are a popular snack or dessert item all around the world. They are a type of fried dough pastry, normally dusted with sugar or cinnamon sugar. Churros are commonly served with hot chocolate or dulce de leche sauce for dipping. In this recipe, we added a ripe banana to the batter to give it a delicious flavor and pack some nutrition. These banana churros are great as a snack, party food, or dessert and can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature. Easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser!
