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.
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.
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.
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!

No Bake Oreo Cheesecake Bars
Oreo cheesecake bars are the ultimate indulgence for anyone who loves a rich, creamy dessert with a bit of crunch.

Crushed Oreos are folded into the cheesecake filling, adding little pockets of chocolatey goodness throughout, while Oreo crumbs on top create a beautiful finishing touch.

They can be made in advance, so you can enjoy a slice whenever the craving strikes. These Oreo cheesecake bars are sure to become a favorite in your dessert repertoire!
Making a no-bake cheesecake is far simpler than it might seem, so there’s no need to feel overwhelmed! The beauty of a no-bake cheesecake is that it requires very few ingredients and eliminates the need for an oven, which means less stress and more time to enjoy the process. You start with a simple crust— made from crushed cookies and melted butter—and press it into your pan. The cheesecake filling is just a matter of mixing cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Then, you pour the filling over the crust, chill it in the fridge, and let time do the work.
The best part is that no-bake cheesecakes are incredibly customizable. Whether you add fruit, chocolate, or even candy toppings, you can make it your own with minimal effort. With just a little patience while the cheesecake sets in the fridge, you’ll have a delicious, creamy dessert without the hassle or worry of complicated baking techniques.

Storing no-bake cheesecake is easy, and with the right method, you can keep it fresh and delicious for several days. Here's how to store it properly:
Refrigeration: Since no-bake cheesecakes rely on chilling to set, the best way to store them is in the fridge. After you've made your cheesecake and it's fully set, cover the pan tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil to prevent it from absorbing other odors in the fridge. This will also help maintain its smooth texture. No-bake cheesecakes can be stored in the fridge for up to 4-5 days.
Serving Pieces: If you've already sliced the cheesecake into individual pieces, store them in an airtight container or wrap each slice in plastic wrap. You can place them in a single layer or add parchment paper between layers to prevent sticking.
Freezing: If you want to store your cheesecake for a longer period, freezing works well too. Simply slice the cheesecake or keep it whole, then wrap it tightly in plastic wrap, followed by aluminum foil. You can also place it in an airtight container or freezer bag for extra protection. It will stay fresh for up to 2-3 months. To enjoy, just thaw it overnight in the fridge or let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before serving.
By following these simple storage tips, your no-bake cheesecake will stay fresh, creamy, and ready to enjoy whenever you're craving a sweet treat!

Chewy M&M Blondies
Chewy M&M blondies with sprinkles are a playful twist on the classic blondie, offering a delightful combination of buttery richness, soft texture, and colorful bursts of sweetness. The chewy center of these blondies is packed with crunchy M&Ms that melt slightly during baking, creating pockets of chocolatey goodness throughout. Topped off with a generous sprinkle of vibrant, colorful sprinkles, these blondies are not only delicious but also a feast for the eyes, perfect for any occasion that calls for a little fun and whimsy.
What makes these blondies so much fun to make is the customization factor – you can swap in different types of M&Ms (like peanut butter or pretzel), add a mix of other fun toppings like white chocolate chips, or even use themed sprinkles for special holidays or events. The process itself is simple and easy, making it a great treat for kids to help with or for anyone looking to whip up something sweet without too much hassle. Plus, the best part is that they come together in one bowl, making clean-up a breeze. Whether you're baking for a party, a family gathering, or just because, these blondies will bring a burst of joy and flavor to any occasion!
Using melted butter in blondies is key to achieving that rich, chewy texture and enhancing the overall flavor of the dessert. When you melt the butter, it helps create a denser, more tender crumb by providing moisture throughout the batter. This contributes to the signature chewiness that makes blondies so irresistible.
Additionally, melted butter blends more easily with the sugar, helping to dissolve it fully, which results in a smoother batter and a more uniform texture. The warmth of the melted butter also promotes the fat's ability to coat the flour proteins more effectively, which reduces the amount of gluten formed and keeps the blondies soft rather than cakey.
Another reason melted butter is used is for flavor. Butter, when melted, has a more pronounced, rich taste that adds depth to the sweetness of the blondies, balancing out the sugary sweetness of the M&Ms and sprinkles. This creates a perfectly balanced treat that’s both indulgent and satisfying!
I had helping hands with these blondies, whipping them up while babysitting my nephew. It was such a fun time, besides waiting for the blondies to cook and cool. Baking these with anyone is so fun!
The best part is that you can make these with simple ingredients.

After baking your M&M blondies, storing them properly will help keep them fresh and delicious for as long as possible. Here’s how to store them after baking:
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.

Oreo Blondies
Oreo Blondies: The Ultimate Cookie Meets Dessert Mash-Up
I don’t know about you, but something about Oreos is so addicting, and I absolutely love how versatile they can be in desserts.

These Oreo blondies are the dessert hybrid you didn’t know you needed, and once you try them, you’ll wonder how you ever lived without them.
I still wonder about this myself.
First, let's talk about the blondie base. It’s soft, slightly chewy, and has that rich, melt-in-your-mouth texture that only butter and brown sugar can provide. It's the perfect canvas for whatever delicious add-ins you want. But today, we’re all about the Oreos. These cookies add the perfect amount of crunch and a burst of chocolatey flavor that complements the sweet vanilla blondie base like a match made in dessert heaven.
Now, why Oreo blondies, you ask? Well, it's simple: Oreos are a classic, universally loved treat that everyone can agree on. Whether you're dunking them in milk, crumbling them over ice cream, or—wait for it—baking them right into your favorite desserts, they never disappoint. And in this blondie form, they're not just a topping or a mix-in; they become part of the magic. Each bite brings the nostalgic taste of an Oreo but with the added fun of gooey, rich blondie goodness.
What’s even better? These Oreo blondies are ridiculously easy to make. No need to fuss with complicated ingredients or techniques. Just melt, mix, and bake! They’re perfect for when you’re craving something sweet but don’t want to spend hours in the kitchen.
You’ll be the hero of your next get-together, bake sale, Netflix binge session, or for yourself to enjoy.
Storing
To keep your Oreo blondies fresh and delicious, follow these simple storage tips:
Room Temperature: If you plan to eat them within 3-4 days, just store them in an airtight container at room temperature. This will help maintain their chewy texture without them getting too dry.
Refrigeration: For longer storage (up to a week), you can place them in an airtight container in the fridge. Just let them come to room temperature before serving, or microwave for a few seconds for that freshly baked taste!
Freezing: If you want to keep them for a longer period, you can freeze them! Wrap the blondies tightly in plastic wrap, then place them in a freezer-safe bag or container. They’ll stay fresh for up to 3 months. Just thaw them at room temperature or warm them up in the microwave when you're ready to indulge!
Enjoy your delicious treats! 🍪✨- I’m now wondering why there isn’t an Oreo emoji.
If you haven’t scrolled down to the recipe and are still reading, first, thank you, but second, baking is so fun. I’ve been passionate about baking/cooking since a young age. Playing “restaurant” with my cousins and siblings or whipping the strangest concoctions. It’s so much fun and rewarding, especially when you make something people enjoy. However, baking comes with much trial and error, which is something I am still learning. The worst thing is when you make something so many times, and on this random occasion, it was messed up. - THE WORST
Anyway, after college, I decided to learn more about how to bake/cook, with much inspiration coming from TikTok videos. As I went back to college to pursue a master’s degree, I realized how therapeutic baking is for me, and whether or not it brings you the same joy, simply baking my favorite recipes, coming up with different concoctions, and sharing them with you continues to be so rewarding for me. If you’re still here, thanks for coming to my TedTalk ;).
If you find yourself making this recipe, I’d love to hear your thoughts and if you have any suggestions! Comment below or tag me on my socials! I hope you enjoy these blondies.

Plus, they add a touch of visual appeal, giving the brownies a little extra pop!
A cream cheese topping adds a luxurious, velvety finish to cheesecake swirl brownies that take them to the next level. To make it, simply blend cream cheese with a bit of sugar and egg until smooth and creamy, creating a rich, tangy contrast to the sweet, fudgy brownie base. Before you bake the brownies, drop spoonfuls of the cream cheese mixture onto the top, then swirl gently with a knife or toothpick for that signature marbled effect. The dollops of cream cheese add extra creaminess and elevate each bite with a burst of tangy goodness. The perfect finishing touch makes these brownies even more decadent and irresistible!
Baking brownies is one of those delightful experiences where the kitchen becomes a cozy little adventure. There's something so satisfying about mixing simple ingredients and watching them transform into a rich, fudgy masterpiece.
