For those of you who aren’t familiar with churros, they’re sticks of pastry that are deep fried and then coated in a cinnamon-sugar blend. The deal with churros is that you have them when they’re freshly made coz they’re really light and crunchy on the outside, but still kinda soft-ish on the inside.

Absoultely delish, but also absolutely unhealthy! Deep fried… all purpose flour… a shi*t ton of butter to hold the dough together… Urghhhh

This recipe uses whole wheat flour, barely any butter – just the are minimum required for a waffle recipe – and natural sweeteners.

Light, airy and crispy sticks that are a whole lot better!
