Churro Blondies

Churro blondies are a delicious twist on two beloved treats: the rich, chewy texture of blondies and the warm, spiced goodness of churros. These blondies are golden-brown squares of sweet, buttery dough swirled with a hint of cinnamon and sugar that mimic the flavor of the classic churro. The soft, gooey center is complemented by a slightly crisp, cinnamon-sugar-coated top, giving each bite the perfect combination of rich sweetness and spice.

What sets churro blondies apart is their irresistible flavor profile—think of the deep, caramelized sweetness of blondies paired with the comforting warmth of cinnamon, just like you'd find in a freshly fried churro. These treats are easy to make and are perfect for sharing at parties, baking for a casual get-together, or simply enjoying a cup of coffee or hot chocolate. The cinnamon-sugar topping not only adds a beautiful, sweet crunch but also gives that authentic churro experience, making every bite feel like a little celebration.

The best part about churro blondies? They’re the perfect fusion of two favorites, offering all the indulgent flavor of churros without the mess and frying. Whether you’re a fan of blondies, churros, or both, these chewy, cinnamon-infused bars will quickly become a new favorite dessert in your baking repertoire.

I love making blondies because not only are they fun and easy, but you don’t need any fancy tools or equipment to whip up a nice, chewy batch of blondies.

I love anything with cinnamon flavors, and these definitely hit a good cinnamon craving. I made this recipe for a friend who also loves absolutely everything Churro inspired, and blondies are much easier and less time-consuming to make than the real deal but still just as good.

Storing

Cool Completely: Before storing, make sure your blondies are completely cooled. This prevents condensation from forming inside the storage container, which can make them soggy.

1. Room Temperature Storage: To keep your blondies soft and chewy, store them in an airtight container at room temperature. They will stay fresh for about 3-4 days this way. You can place a piece of parchment paper between layers to prevent them from sticking together.

2. Refrigeration: If you prefer, you can refrigerate your blondies to extend their freshness for up to a week. Just make sure they’re in an airtight container to prevent them from drying out. Before serving, let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes to regain their softness.

3. Freezing: If you want to store them for an even longer period, freezing is a great option! Wrap individual blondies tightly in plastic wrap or foil, then place them in a zip-top bag or airtight container. They can stay frozen for up to 2-3 months. To enjoy, just let them thaw at room temperature or warm them in the microwave for a few seconds for that fresh-baked taste.

By following these simple storage tips, your blondies will stay as delicious and chewy as the day they were baked!

Why should you make churro blondies? Because they’re like the ultimate mashup of your favorite dessert dreams—soft, chewy blondies with the warm, cinnamon-sugar goodness of churros, all in one irresistible bite! Imagine sinking into that melt-in-your-mouth texture while the sweet cinnamon swirl dances on your taste buds.

Churro blondies are soft, chewy bars that combine the rich, buttery flavor of blondies with the warm, cinnamon-sugar coating of churros. They’re the perfect fusion of sweet, spiced dessert with a crispy exterior and a tender, gooey interior.

Ingredients

• ½ cup unsalted butter (melted)
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 2 eggs (room temperature)
• 1 tbsp vanilla extract
• 1 cup of all-purpose flour
• ½ tsp cinnamon
• ¼ tsp of baking powder
• ½ tsp salt

Cinnamon mixture

• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1 tbsp cinnamon

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line a 9x9 pan with parchment paper.
2. Melt the ½ cup of butter and allow to cool slightly.
3. While the butter cools, make the cinnamon mixture. Add 1/2 cup of sugar to a bowl with 1 tablespoon of cinnamon sugar and mix, then set aside.
4. Add the melted butter and brown sugar to a mixing bowl and mix with a spatula until combined.
5. Add the eggs and vanilla extract and mix until just combined.
6. Use a spatula to scrape down the sides and add the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Fold the ingredients together until there are no clumps of flour without overmixing.
7. Add half the sugar mixture to the prepared baking pan, coating the entire bottom.
8. Then, scoop the blondie dough carefully over the sugar mixture. It is tricky, so don't be alarmed if the sugar mixture mixes into the dough. Then, top the blondies with the remaining sugar mixture, coating the entire top.
9. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. Allow to cool then serve and enjoy!
