After almost one month of stressing and second guessing, I have finally mustered enough courage to make Churros. The recipe is a no frying recipe, but I also wanted to try the fried Churros recipe. So for this post, I will be comparing the two. Want to know which one was my favorite? Keep reading.
The first time I heard about Churros was on Pinterest. I never had them before, but I was curious to try em. So I search and stumbled on Gemma’s Churros recipe. I like how easy it was to follow her recipe, so I decided to give it a go. What really sold me is that her Churros recipe is a no frying one.
[Tweet “Baked VS Fried. How do you like your Churros? #ChurrosRecipe #baking”]
You can find the exact recipe that I followed on Gemma’s blog. If you are like me and like to see how it is done, Check out the video below.
So how did my Baked Churros turn out? Not so good actually *insert simultaneously laughing and crying emoji*. I followed the recipe and even did the water sprinkling thing to avoid the Churros drying out. But they dried out anyways. So I set out to fry the rest of my Churros mixture. The verdict? Success! I mean I think so? I honestly never tried Churros before so I have NO idea if my fried Churros were successful. What I DO know, is that they were delicious and not dried like the Baked Churros.
I was really sad that my Baked Churros didn’t turn out as nice as Gemma’s. Hers were perfectly shaped! In any case, they were still edible! I ended up melting some Velata premium caramel milk chocolate for dipping, and it was soo good! Like seriously sooo good!
So this is my take on the Baked Vs Fried Churros recipe. I’m going to be making this again for sure. Especially since I still have some chocolate left to dip them in!
Have you ever had Churros before? Which one do you think would taste better: baked or fried? If you like fun recipes check out my banana bread recipe that I made using a very special ingredient!

I have never made them before. They are normally amusement park food & they fry them, so that is the only way I have ever had them. NOM.
A baked churro so so much healthier. These look so yummy

I am a fried churros kind of gal, but, I am willing to try the baked ones.
I think there are some thing better left to frying than being baked. Lol. I love churros and I would rather fry mine than bake them.
I really love churros and my hubby would love this too but i didn’t know how to cook. Thanks for the recipe
I’ve been avoiding Churros because they are fried. I’m glad there is a baked version.

Baked over fry for me any day BUT sometimes the baked just does not work..LOL
Not sure I have the skills to make my own but I do like churros and would happily try them either way.
Honestly, I’ll eat them any way, but baked is better for ya, so I’d do that myself.
I really don’t care if they are fried or baked I love churros! its one of my many guilty pleasures
I’ve never tried them. Craziness, I know!! I think I’d like them baked.
Never heard of this. Churros.they sound delicious and sweet making my mouth watery thanks for sharing.
Churros either way are delicious!
I’m all for healthy alternatives, but I think we’ve all learned a valuable lesson from this. Just fry your churros. 😉

That hot chocolate looks amazing! And I love churros but have never been bold enough to make them from home! Yours look like they came out great!
I have never made churros before, but I always thought the fried tasted better. I will have to give these a try.
Churros are great whether they are fried, baked, or raw! lol Its always great seeing how other people make them and I cant wait to try it this way!
The churros look good. I haven’t tried making them at home. I usually don’t eat churros.
Too bad the baked ones didn’t come out better since they are better for you than the deep fried ones.

I’ve had Churros before, but I’ve never tried preparing them. I would love to try making them here at home and I think I’ll go with baked Churros. 🙂
I love the baked churros more than the fried ones, but my kids are exactly opposite to me, so I just have to try out both options. The caramel milk chocolate dip sounds like a great add-on to this wonderful snack.
Those look good. I have watched cooks make those on TV and they always look like fun.
If I made them I would deep fry them too.

Omg Churros are the best!!!!! It’s been wayyy too long since I’ve had one. I definitely need to change that.
This looks so delicious. I think I would like the baked one better. I haven’t really liked fried foods. Thanks for sharing.
