skinnymixer’s Churros Crumb

Sharing is caring!

Since we announced that the next book was going to be ‘A Little Taste of Mexico’, the Skinnymixers Facebook Group has made it abundantly clear they really want a ‘healthy churros’ recipe.

I have thought long and hard, and ordered many different churros while eating out, just to be sure that I knew what they taste like. I believe I have come up with a healthy alternative to thermomix churros, which according to my scales are definitely NOT healthy!

You can sprinkle this crumb on yoghurt, icecream, custard, flan, creamed rice, porridge, chia pudding AND most importantly the super delicious (and still top secret) dessert recipe featured in A Little Taste of Mexico!

skinnymixer's Churros Crumb

We ate Churros all over Mexico, and one of my most beautiful memories of our travels was a spanish-only speaking lady offering me half of her Churros to try at a very regional Cantina. It was amazing! Unfortunately, I couldn’t justify putting a traditional Churros recipe in the book, but this substitute crumb captures the flavour and texture of a freshly fried Churros in regional Mexico.
