Baked Churros
Ingrediënten
- 1 cup Meel voor alle doeleinden - (notitie 1)
- 3 eetlepels Olijfolie met milde smaak - (notitie 2)
- 1 cup Gekookt water - (notitie 3)
- 2 eetlepels Ongeraffineerde rietsuiker - (notitie 4)
Kaneel suiker
- 1 eetlepel Kaneel
- ⅓ cup Ongeraffineerde rietsuiker
Instructies
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Lightly oil the paper with cooking oil spray. Set aside.
- Prepare a sturdy piping bag- not a plastic one, it will crack. You need a pastry chef silicone bag that holds pressure and temperature. Mount the bag with a large star tip – it has to be large or the batter will not extract nicely. I like to place my piping bag in a tall glass so it's easier to fill quickly with the churros batter.
- In a large baking dish, prepare the cinnamon-sugar mixture by stirring the cinnamon and sugar evenly. Set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk flour and sugar. Set aside.
- In a non-stick saucepan, add water and oil, and place a lid on. Bring to a medium-high heat until it reaches a high boil.
- When the water boils, remove the lid and remove from the heat.
- Immediately pour the flour into the saucepan, and stir energetically with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula to form a soft, elastic dough ball.
- Pour the batter into the piping bag and pipe logs of dough on the prepared baking sheet. The length of the churros doesn't matter, I like 4-inch/10 cm churros. You can make them shorter or longer. Pipe the dough fast because it gets difficult to pipe the batter as it gets colder. Cut the ends of the churros with scissors when the desired length is achieved.
- If you struggle with piping the dough, simply roll 5-inch-long logs of dough and use the back of a fork to mark the logs.
- Place each of the churros on the baking sheet, leaving a little space between each, they won't expand in the oven.
- When you have piped all the dough, use a pastry brush to brush each lightly with oil.
- Bake the churros for 25 minutes on the top rack at 400°F (200°C). Watch them closely and remove any churro that turns golden brown before the other. Keep baking the remaining churros in 3-minute bursts until they have a light golden color.
- Remove the warm churros from the oven and place them on the baking dish with cinnamon sugar. Use your hands or tongs to toss and coat the churros evenly with the sugar.
Notes
Voedingsbegeleiding
Ingrediënten en vervangingen
You only need 4 base ingredients to make the dough and coating.
- Meel voor alle doeleinden – This provides the main structure for the churros. For a gluten-free version, use my Omrekeningsgids voor glutenvrije producten. You can’t use almond flour, oat flour, or coconut flour for this recipe.
- Lichte olijfolie – It adds moisture and richness to the dough. Canola oil, melted plant-based butter, or avocado oil also work well.
- Gekookt water – The hot temperature of the water helps to create a smooth dough.
- Suiker – This adds a touch of sweetness to the churros themselves. Coconut sugar, brown sugar, or a sugar-free allulose are fine substitutes.
- Kaneel – This spice brings a warm and classic churro flavor to the sugar coating.
- Suiker – This sweetens the cinnamon coating.
How to Make Baked Churros
These churros are really easy to make in the oven.

Pipe the churro batter on a baking tray.

Bake the churros for 25 minutes on the top rack at 400°F (200°C).

Prepare the cinnamon sugar in a large dish and place the hot churros in it.

Toss the churros to coat them with the cinnamon mixture.
Carine's tips
Let me share a few more tips for perfect churros.
- Sturdy Piping Bag – You need a robust silicone pastry bag that can withstand the pressure and the heat of the dough.
- Large Star Tip – This ensures the dough extrudes smoothly and creates the characteristic churro ridges. If it’s too small, you’ll need to press super hard on the piping bags.
- Tall Glass Aid – Placing the piping bag in a tall glass makes filling it easier and less messy.
- Pipe Dough Quickly – The batter becomes harder to pipe as it cools down.
- Scissors for Clean Cuts – Using scissors helps create neat and even churro lengths.
- Fork for Nozzle-Free – If piping is difficult, rolling the dough and marking it with a fork’s back works well.
- Coat while Warm – Roll them warm in the cinnamon sugar to make sure it sticks to the churros nicely.
- Serveer met dips – Serve with melted chocolate as a dip, or healthier dips like my date caramel, peanut butter yogurt dip






I added a splash of vanilla extract to the water / oil and subbed gluten free bread flour (1 cup) as I was out of gf ap flour to do the conversion. I also did half granulated half brown sugar for the coating. I had no intention of making these when I saw this on Instagram but it was SO EASY I did it in no time! Thank you for an amazing and delicious recipe!!!
Dank je !
Do you think sourdough discard might work in this recipe?
I have never made a sourdough discard yet, so I am not sure.
Thank you for sharing this recipe! It was so easy and so good
