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!!!

Total time

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?

    Reply
    • Jennifer @ Peanut Butter and Peppers says

      May 2, 2013 at 6:47 PM

      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.

Today I am sharing with you a spring vignette that I created. I just love tulips this time of year. Though, they seem to be out all year at Trader Joe’s, which is kind of strange. I can’t wait until they get peonies and lilacs. My two favorites.

The candles are from my friends @goldhillcandleco. They are hand poured, 100% soy and have a wooden wick. They smell so fresh and clean. These two candles are from the March subscription box. I highly recommend.

Happy first day of Spring! Though you wouldn’t k Happy first day of Spring! Though you wouldn’t know it in California. We are still getting rain and it’s in the mid 50’s. We should be in the 70’s by now. I wonder what the summer temps will be like this year?
🌺
Even though it may not feel like Spring,  there is no reason why we can’t start prepping for it. It’s going to be time soon to plant flowers, add a floral wreath to the front door and of course a welcome mat to invite everyone to your home. 
🌺
I wanted to share with you my new welcome mat that I got from @cocomatsnmore. They just had their Spring release and oh my gosh so many cute ones. I love there welcome mats. They are thick, bright colors and fast shipping. I absolutely love the flowers and the saying “Live Life in Full Bloom”. It’s so very true.

What are you most looking forward to this Spring?

Happy Monday! I did a little bit of Spring cleanin Happy Monday! I did a little bit of Spring cleaning this weekend. I wanted to give my kitchen counters the less is more look.
🫧
I did have a very hard time taking my sink tray off the counter. I’ve had the tray there for years, so I thought I would change it up. Don’t be surprised if the sink tray makes its way back. 😂 I may add some herbs to my window sill for some fresh green color.

I used @cloth.bristle to clean my kitchen counters and sink. I love cleaning my sink with it. It makes it so sparkly and smells good too! Love that it’s all natural.

My husband and I are not fancy when it comes to eating dinner. Since it’s just the two of us, we never use the dining room table, but always eat at the kitchen counter.
🥕
There is no reason why we can’t eat fancy at the kitchen counter. I am using my new placemats that I got from @vmathome. They are thick, water, stain resistant and can handle heat up to 350F degrees. I love the color and style of the placemats. They have a wide variety of styles and colors, along with matching table runners.
🥕
I styled my table with bright spring colors that I was inspired by carrots. I still have bunnies on the brain. lol I had fun with this place setting, it’s so nice to have dinner with a little style then having it on a plain plate and paper napkins.
🥕
Have a wonderful weekend!!

Here is my little corner of my living room with a little pop of spring. Sorry about the lighting. With this weather, photographing is not easy.
