Pumpkin churros. Are you drooling yet? I am completely, wholeheartedly in love with this recipe from Bobby Flay….and if the rest of the recipes in his new cookbook, Brunch @ Bobby’s, are half as good as this one, then we’re going to be in trouble. In a good way…

About Brunch @ Bobby’s

At long last, Bobby shares his simplest, most sought-after recipes—while still delivering his signature intense flavors.

Bobby Flay may be best known for his skills at the grill, but brunch is his favorite meal of the week. In Brunch @ Bobby’s he includes 140 recipes starting with the lip-smacking cocktails, both spiked and virgin, that we have come to expect from him, along with hot and iced coffees and teas. He then works his way through eggs; pancakes, waffles, and French toast (including flavored syrups and spreads); pastries (a first) and breads; salads and sandwiches; and side dishes. Pull up a seat and enjoy a Sangria Sunrise, Carrot Cake Pancakes with Maple-Cream Cheese Drizzle, Sautéed Bitter Green Omelets, and Wild Mushroom-Yukon Gold Hash. This is how Bobby does brunch.

Mini Pumpkin Churros With Chocolate-Orange Dipping Sauce

Mini Pumpkin Churros With Chocolate-Orange Dipping Sauce

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/8 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
  • 1/8 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 3/4 cup canned pure pumpkin puree
  • 10 tablespoons (1 1/4 sticks) unsalted butter, cut into pieces
  • 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 4 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • Vegetable or canola oil, for frying
  • Chocolate-Orange Dipping Sauce (recipe below)

Instructions

  1. Whisk together the flour, 1 teaspoon of the cinnamon, the cloves, ginger, nutmeg, and salt in a large bowl.
  2. Bring 1 1/2 cups water, the pumpkin puree, butter, and vanilla to a boil in a medium saucepan, whisking constantly. Pour the pumpkin mixture into the flour mixture and mix with a wooden spoon until just combined; the batter will be thick. Continue mixing and add the eggs, one at a time. The dough will be thick and smooth. Put the dough into a pastry bag fitted with a large star tip.
  3. Stir together the sugar with the remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon in a small baking dish. Line a baking sheet with paper towels.
  4. Heat 2 inches of oil in a high-sided saute pan until it reaches 350 degrees F on a deep-fry thermometer. Working in batches, pipe the dough directly into the pan, cutting off the pieces with scissors. Fry, turning as needed, until golden and crisp, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove the churros from the oil and transfer them to the baking sheet to drain for 30 seconds. Toss in the cinnamon-sugar. Serve hot with the dipping sauce.

  1. This recipe looks amazing and I think I can adapt it to be low carb by swapping out the flour for almond flour or coconut flour and swerve or monk fruit for the sugar… YAY and the sauce looks easy enough to adapt too :) We were in D-land in early September and my husband literally ate his way through D-lan eating ever type and flavor of churro’s they had, but hands down he said the pumpkin spice ones where his favorite. So glad we are neighbors at #ImpartingGrace this week.

    PS.. if you are looking for another place to link to on Thursday’s I would love if you would consider joining my linkup #TuneInThursday – it opens Thursday 3am PST and runs through Sunday night. you can find it at debbiekitterman.com/blog (Please feel free to delete the link if you think it inappropriate).

  6. I love Eggs Benedict for brunch, but I don’t know if I would ever make it at home on a regular basis.

    Oh, and Bloody Marys. Although they are kinda good anytime.

  20. I love eating quiche at brunch.

  31. Popovers, for me! I love popovers–there’s something festive about them, so they’re perfect with brunch. (And no one needs to know how simple they really are to make.)

  46. I love Crab Cakes Eggs Benedict for brunch. Wish I could make a decent crab cake so I wouldn’t have to go out for brunch to get this deliciousness. I’ve tried so many recipes but none match the restaurant version.

  60. Some of the items I like for brunch are quiche, cinnamon muffins with loads of crumb topping and I’m sure its easier to buy them but I would be interested in learning how to make croissants and have them fresh from the oven.

  63. Oh one of my favorites for brunch is Eggs Benedict! And…the one thing I would love to learn how to make is hollandaise sauce for them! I still have not figured out the sauce!
