Baked Cinnamon and Sugar Churros

Baked Cinnamon and Sugar Churros

If you are ever in the mood for a churro make this recipe! It is super quick and easy to make. It is crunchy on the outside and a chew inside! If you have tried the chimichanga recipe you can use left over cinnamon sugar if you like! It is the same as what goes on the chimichangas.

Yields: 12 Churros

Ingredients:

For the Churros:

1 cup of water

1/2 cup light butter spread

4 tablespoons granulated sugar, divided

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 egg

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Ingredients for Churros 

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Coat a large baking sheet with cooking spray.
2. In a medium saucepan, combine the water, butter spread, 2 tablespoons of sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Set the pan over medium-high heat and bring to a boil.
3. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the flour with a wooden spoon. Stir until the mixture forms a ball. Stir in the egg until the mixture is smooth and glossy.
   
4. Transfer the dough to a pastry bag or freezer bag fitted with a large tip (preferably star-shaped). Pipe the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, making 12, 8-inch long strips. Baking for 20-30 minutes, until the churros are golden brown.

   

   Make sure your plastic bag is strong enough!

5. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar and cinnamon.
6. Spray the baked churros with cooking spray and sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture over top. Flip the churros and repeat on the other side. Serve warm. 

Finished Result!

I enjoyed making these churros a lot this week. I had my boyfriend Bryan help me make these this week and they were very yummy! Super easy to make and quick. These are great for a quick snack or for a fun treat for a special occasion. Bryan definitely made this recipe fun just by singing about churros and playing his guitar. I hope everyone finds this recipe fun and as good as I did!

Enjoy!

C-H-U-R-R-O spells Churro!
