“Cinnamon Sugar Churro Donuts: A Sweet, Spiced Delight in Every Bite”

Serve your Cinnamon Sugar Churro Donuts with a hot cup of coffee or a cold glass of milk for the ultimate treat.
These donuts are best enjoyed fresh and warm, but they can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For a slightly fresher taste, reheat them in the microwave for a few seconds before eating.
You can also freeze the donuts. After coating them in cinnamon sugar, place them in a freezer-safe bag or container for up to 1 month. Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.
Variants:

Baked Version: If you prefer a lighter option, you can bake these donuts instead of frying them. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake the donut holes or shaped donuts on a parchment-lined baking sheet for about 10-12 minutes, or until golden.
Chocolate Cinnamon Sugar Churro Donuts: Add 1/4 cup of cocoa powder to the dough for a chocolatey twist on this churro donut recipe.
Stuffed Churro Donuts: Fill the donuts with a rich chocolate ganache, dulce de leche, or cream cheese filling before frying for a fun surprise inside.
Vegan Cinnamon Sugar Churro Donuts: Swap the egg for a flaxseed egg (1 tbsp ground flaxseed + 3 tbsp water) and use a non-dairy milk (like almond or oat milk) to make this recipe vegan-friendly.
FAQ:

Can I use a donut pan instead of frying?
Yes! If you prefer baking over frying, you can pipe the dough into a donut pan and bake at 375°F (190°C) for about 10-12 minutes, or until golden. Be sure to coat the baked donuts in cinnamon sugar immediately for that signature churro crunch!

How can I make the donuts less greasy?
To prevent the donuts from becoming too greasy, make sure the oil is at the correct temperature (350°F/175°C). Also, allow the donuts to drain on paper towels after frying to remove excess oil.

Can I freeze the dough?
Yes! You can freeze the uncooked dough balls. Just shape them and place them on a baking sheet in the freezer. Once frozen, transfer them to a freezer-safe bag for up to 1 month. Fry them directly from frozen when ready to serve.

Can I use brown sugar instead of white sugar for the coating?
Absolutely! Brown sugar will give the coating a richer flavor and a slight molasses undertone, adding an extra layer of sweetness to the churro donuts.

Cinnamon Sugar Churro Donuts are the perfect treat for anyone who craves the warm, comforting flavors of churros but with the fun twist of being in donut form. Whether fried or baked, they’re guaranteed to be a sweet hit at any occasion!
