Here's what you'll need for the churros:

❤️ 1 cup all-purpose flour

❤️ 2 tsp unsweetened cocoa powder

❤️ ⅓ cup butter

❤️ 1 tbsp olive oil

❤️ 1 cup water

❤️ ¼ cup brown sugar

❤️ 2 tsp red food coloring

❤️ ½ tsp salt

❤️ 1 tsp vanilla extract

❤️ 1 egg

❤️ ¼ cup granulated sugar, for coating

 

Here's what you'll need for the cream cheese dip:

❤️ 8 oz cream cheese

❤️ 2 tbsp powdered sugar

❤️ 2 tbsp Red Velvet Granola Butter®

❤️ 1-2 tbsp milk of choice

 

Here's what you'll do:

❤️ Preheat the oven to 390F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; set side.

❤️ In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour and cocoa powder; set aside.

❤️ In a medium saucepan, melt together the butter and oil. Add in the water, brown sugar, food coloring, and salt, and bring to a boil for 5 minutes, mixing occasionally. Add in the flour and cocoa mixture, and stir with a wooden spoon until well combined.

❤️ Take off of the heat and allow the mixture to cool for 10 minutes.

❤️ Add in the vanilla and the egg and quickly beat until completely incorporated (it’s going to look like it’s not coming together, but just keep beating)!

❤️ Put the dough into a piping bag with a star tip. Squeeze the dough into heart shapes onto the prepared baking sheet.

❤️ Bake for 10 min, or until crispy to the touch. Then, reduce the heat on the oven to 350F, and bake for another 8-11 minutes.

❤️ While they are baking, beat together the ingredients for the cream cheese dip in a medium bowl.

❤️ Remove the churros from the oven and coat in the granulated sugar immediately.

❤️ Serve with the red velvet cream cheese dip. Enjoy, lovers!
