About Puerquito de piloncillo

Puerquito de Piloncillo, also known as marranito, is a traditional Mexican pastry shaped like a small pig. Commonly enjoyed with coffee or milk, this sweet treat is deeply rooted in Mexican bakery culture. The main ingredients include flour, brown sugar (piloncillo), eggs, butter, cinnamon, and occasionally molasses for its rich flavor. While its natural sweetness comes from unrefined piloncillo, making it slightly better than processed sugar, it is still relatively high in calories and carbohydrates, making portion control essential. The cinnamon adds a hint of antioxidants, but overall, puerquitos are considered a dessert rather than a health food. Enjoying them occasionally as part of a balanced diet allows you to savor their cultural significance while being mindful of their indulgent nature.
