Pan de Marranito, often called "piggy bread," is a popular Mexican sweet bread shaped like a pig. Hailing from panaderías across Mexico, this treat is part of traditional pan dulce offerings. Made with flour, brown sugar (piloncillo), butter or shortening, eggs, and spices like cinnamon, it has a molasses-like sweetness with a soft, cakey texture. Some variations include milk or a hint of orange zest for flavor. While Pan de Marranito is rich in carbohydrates and sugar, it provides quick energy and contains small amounts of iron and calcium from fortified flour. However, its high sugar and fat content mean it should be enjoyed in moderation. Often served with coffee or milk, its nostalgic appeal lies in its comforting sweetness and connection to Mexican culinary heritage.
