Baked Churros

May 2, 2013 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 38 Comments

Howdy!

Ohhhhhh do I have a special treat for you!  One of my favorite fair foods of all times, Churros!!  But my Churros are not traditional Churros, they are baked and not fried, and let  me tell you, you wouldn’t notice the difference!

Baked Churros

These babies are simply perfect, loaded with cinnamon and sugar and the dough is soft, with a slight crunch on the outside.  They are the perfect Churro!  Not only are they totally delicious, but they are also so easy to make.  I was shocked on how easy they were!  I Googled the recipe and I found one on Latina’s magazine website.  I was a little afraid, but it seemed easy enough, so I thought I would give it a shot and by golly, it worked like a charm!!!

Baked Churros


All you do is melt some butter, salt and sugar with water, mix in some flour and egg and bam you have batter!  Churros on its way.  I filled my pastry bag, using a star shape tip (Wilton 1M size) and then I started piping out the dough.  The dough was all nice and warm as I placed on my cookie sheet.  Baked these bad boys for about 13 minutes and the smell ohh the smell of them baking is fantastic!

Baked Churros

Once I took my Churros out of the oven, I let them sit for about a minute so they weren’t to soft and then shook them in a baggie with cinnamon and sugar.  Then started munching.  For the sugar I used my NuNaturals Presweet Tagatose.  If you haven’t tried it, its fantastic substitute for sugar.  I love the stuff and I always keep it on hand.  In case you don’t know what Presweet Tagatose is, it’s a naturally-occurring sweetener found in milk, fruits and vegetables. It is 92% as sweet as sugar.  I love it!!!

A healthy baked cinnamon and sugar pastry found at the fair.
Serves: 28 Churros
Ingredients
  • 2 tbsp. brown sugar
  • ½ tsp. salt
  • ⅓ cup light or reduced-fat butter (I used Smart Balance Light with Flaxseed Oil)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup Egg substitute or 2 eggs
  • ½ tsp. vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup sugar or Presweet Tagatose
  • 1 tsp. cinnamon (or to taste)
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F, Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and coat with cooking spray; set a side.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup water, brown sugar, salt, and butter and bring to a boil. Remove from heat and add flour, stirring with large wooden spoon until well blended.
  3. In a bowl, combine egg substitute and vanilla. Stir into flour mixture until completely incorporated. Spoon dough into pastry bag with large star tip (I used Wilton #1M). Squeeze dough onto baking sheet in 4-inch strips, leaving space for each churro to expand. Bake for 10 - 13 minutes or until lightly golden brown.
  4. In a large plastic or paper bag, combine sugar substitute and cinnamon. Add the hot churros, about 5 at a time and shake to cover. Serve warm.

Baked Churros

This was a fun recipe to make and glad I did it.  I do have to tell you, I normally freeze treats like this and I did freeze these and my Husband said they were mushy.  I know they are best as soon as you make them, but I took a chance to see how they would be defrosted at room temperature.  Not a good idea.  If you are like me and you like to freeze everything, don’t freeze the Churros!   Enjoy them the day you make them.  They do last all day!   🙂

Have  a great day!

Toodles,

Jennifer

    Great recipe, I can’t wait to try!
    Now since you can’t freeze them, can you make the dough in advance and bake when ready to serve? I like to prepare things in advance if I can… or do they reheat well?

      I wouldn’t reheat them. I honestly don’t see why you couldn’t make the dough in advance? I’d give it a shot and see how it goes.

    First time making churros, awesome batter to use! I baked them at 350 accidently so they were soft all around and I like mine crispy on the outside. So I deep fried them for 30 seconds and they were so perfect! Thanks !

    Do you have to use light butter or did you just do that to cut calories?

      I did it to cut calories. You can use regular butter.

Happy Tuesday! I was outside early evening yesterd Happy Tuesday! I was outside early evening yesterday taking pictures of flowers and I felt a shadow flying around me. I looked up and there a Monarch butterfly. 
🦋
I don’t see Monarchs very much, I was delighted when I saw this orange beauty flying around. It landed on a Zinnia before it took a rest on my Butterfly Bush. Isn’t it beautiful? It made my day. It’s the small things.
🦋
I highly recommend a Butterfly Bush in your garden. The flowers come in a range of colors from white, pink to purples. They do well in zones 5-9. The flowers smell amazing and bloom all season. They are also a great butterfly attractor and fairly easy to grow.
🦋
Do you get butterflies in your garden?

One of the things I added was my new bedding that I got from @lushdecorhome. Let me tell you, it is so luxurious. This is the 3 piece Belgian Flax Linen Rich Cotton Blend Bedspread. It is so soft and gets softer with each wash. 
💕
I have a tall bed and the ruffles just reaches the floor. The bedding is filled with cotton that gives the bedspread such a comfy feel. The bedspread is perfect for the summer, as it is lightweight, but warm enough to keep you cozy in the winter. The set comes with two pillow shams and the bedspread. It also comes in 4 colors.

I love my new bedding, it’s so feminine and simply beautiful. I couldn’t be happier. Swipe the photo to see how happy Sully is on the bedding.

Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime ta Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime tablescape with @JCPenney + #AllAtJCP + #sponsored +#ShoppingIsBack but you know how I love still photos better. I think you can really see the details of the decor.

💛

I am loving how simple, fresh and light my tablescape feels. It’s the perfect look I was going for. When the idea came for creating a tablescape, I was unclear of what direction I was going for until I shopped at JCPenney. I walked around the decor department and was completely inspired. They had so many styles and colors that would inspire you too.

💛

I saved a highlight of my shopping trip to JCPenney. You must check it out. I’ll be honest, I was blown away by the styles, quality and prices of there store. I will be shopping there quite frequently and you know I will take you along my journey.

💛

What is the style of your home?

💛

PS. Everything on my table is from JCPenney and it is the Linden Street Collection.

My inspiration was my new pillows that I got from @downlitebedding. The name of the pillow says it all “Ahhhhhmazing™ down alternative pillow” and they are amazing.
🐾
The pillows are so soft, plush and are hypoallergenic. They are easily molded so you position your neck, head and arms. The pillows are also washable and OEKO-TEX® Certified Textiles Are Certified Free Of Harmful Chemicals. 
🐾
I’ll be honest, Downlite Bedding are the only pillows that I sleep with. They are fabulous and will last for years. I highly recommend them. They won’t disappoint you. Downlite Bedding was nice enough to give my followers a 20% off discount code to there shop: DYGEN20.

Hello! I have to tell you that I love summer. It’s my favorite season. I love the sun, hot weather, shirts and flip flops. I could just spend all day outside.
🌻
One of my favorite things to do in the summer besides gardening is going to the Farmers Market. There is something about the atmosphere with people walking around with bags in hand, the smell of kettle corn and everyone is so happy. 
🌻
Besides the atmosphere, you can’t beat the freshly grown produce. It’s mind blowing how different it tastes, then what you get in the store. You almost forget what a strawberry is suppose to taste like until have it at the Farmers Market. Plus you are supporting your community. It’s a good feeling all around. 
🌻
I highly recommend going to the Farmers Market and pick up so corn. Soooooo good!! Stock up on your fruits and veggies and freeze it for winter.

🌻
This weekend I finally made it to the Farmers Market and I picked up these amazing sunflowers. They are such a happy flower. 
🌻
When I got them, I couldn’t resist doing a flowers in the sink photo. I haven’t done one of these since Fall. Now I may have to go back to the Farmers Market next weekend because they had so many flowers and most were only $4.00 a bundle. 
🌻
Do you you like to go to the Farmers Market?
