The origin of churros can be traced back to Spain, where they enjoyed immense popularity as a breakfast snack or dessert. Traditionally made with a choux pastry and fried until golden brown, they have since traveled the world and evolved into various forms.

This plant-based version stays true to the essence of churros while catering to those who prefer a healthier, cruelty-free option.

These crispy baked churro sticks are versatile enough to be served at numerous occasions.
