Allergy Friendly Baked Churro Balls
I always prefer using honey over sugar whenever a recipe calls for a sweetner. So when I saw SoulBee Honey product range, I was super excited.
The honey powders come in different flavors. Their honey products are also available in flake form too. They were kind enough to send me a free sample of their honey powder.

SoulBee Honey Powder has many benefits:
- Can be used as a sugar substitute, as a natural and healthier alternative.
- Substitution can be done without worrying about measurements as it is dry and can be used on 1:1 ratio.
- Can be turned into liquid honey, if desired.
- Since it's honey, there are numerous health benefits too
- Available in US and more recently in Canada(through Amazon).
SoulBee Sweet Fact
1% of all proceeds are donated to Planet Bee Foundation which works with schools, nonprofits, summer camps, environmental centers, community gardens and businesses to build awareness and care for honey bees and the environment by providing hands-on, educational workshops.
When I first tasted the powder, there was only a subtle difference in taste than the sugar. The kids did not notice any difference at all.
Thinking how to use this powder in my cooking, since it's a honey powder, its naturally going to be sweet, so I decided to make a dessert. I have not made Churros in a while and they seemed a good recipe to use the honey powder in.
These gluten free, dairy free and egg free baked Churro balls are coated with a mixture of honey powder from SoulBee Honey, brown sugar and cinnamon. However, I gave a different shape to the Churros than their usual cylindrical style and baked them to make them more healthier.

Yum, churros are such a treat, and these baked ones are much less of a guilty one than fried. Can't wait to try!
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful and simple recipe - I bet these are a real hit!

ReplyDeleteYes, its honey powder but kids ate it up without realizing
DeleteI can't remember the last time I had a churro. Love that these are dairy-free and on the healthier side since they are baked and not fried!
ReplyDeleteI had not had them for a long time either.
DeleteThanks for this delicious recipe. I am not sure about the taste whether everyone like it a lot or not. But I am surely going to try this out at home, it seems healthy though.
