The sweet blend of cinnamon and sugar are one of the many reasons why churros are so popular throughout the world. The beauty of these tasty treats is that they are easy to make and almost everyone enjoys them.
They pair well with other sweets, making them a perfect choice for special occasions. This recipe showcases a combination that would work well for parties or just as an after-school treat.
Traditional churros are deep-fried. This version is baked so you don’t need to worry about heating up oil or having to drain the excess oil off the finished product. You can find the ingredients in almost any supermarket, and they shouldn’t break the budget.
If you want to change things up a bit, these mini churros go well with other flavors. Serve them with a dipping sauce like melted chocolate, dulce de leche, or guava mixed with cream cheese.
Nutella and peanut butter both go well with the flavor of the churros. You can switch out the raisins or gummy candies for mini cookies or dried fruit.
The churros are best eaten hot and fresh. However, they can be kept for a couple of days in an air-tight container or frozen for later.
