烤吉拿棒 Baked Churros

Oh churros! Of course baked version is not as crispy as fried. But they're lighter, healthier. Eat them when still warm with cinnamon sugar, they're satisfying enough! I also tried pan-frying and it worked as well. 

I left some of them naked for my toddler and husband. Too much sugar consumption is not good for little kids. And my hubby, he's not a fan of cinnamon. These churros taste fine without it.

吉拿棒！！當然用烤的不像用炸的那麼香酥，但是比較清爽健康。還溫溫的時候裹著肉桂糖吃，也夠解饞了！我還另外試了用平底鍋煎，效果也還OK喔。

我沒有全部都上肉桂糖，一方面不想讓兒子吃太多糖份，一方面是我老公不愛肉桂。單吃也還不錯啦，有點像略帶點鹹味的小小雞蛋糕。
