Isabel Eats Cooking Challenge

December 2025

This Month’s Cooking Challenge Recipe Is…

Marranitos

This pan dulce is one of my forever favorites to grab at the panadería. It’s soft, lightly sweet, and full of that rich molasses flavor that makes them so comforting. And honestly… the cute pig shape has been winning me over since I was a kid. Perfect with coffee, milk, or whenever you need a little pan dulce moment. 🐷💛

About the Cooking Challenge

The Isabel Eats Cooking Challenge is a monthly cooking club aimed to help motivate and inspire you to get in the kitchen.

My goal is to bring together our virtual community and celebrate our love of delicious Mexican food.

Each month, I’ll pick a recipe for the Isabel Eats community to make. Then all you have to do is snap a photo of the dish, and email it to me for a chance to win a $100 Amazon gift card! To help our team develop the best recipes, we appreciate your feedback and ask that you leave a comment and star rating on the recipe, but its not required.
