    There are a few treats that remind me a lot of summer. One of of those treats are churros. There is just something about them that screams warm weather and making memories with my family. So capturing everything I love about the sweet, cinnamon churro flavor into a cupcake was like… I don’t know. I love cupcakes too. So this Churro Cupcake recipe is pretty much amazing in my book.

    This delicious Churro Cupcake Recipe is a sweet, cinnamon cake kissed with cinnamon and sugar then topped with a homemade cinnamon butter cream! Delicious!

    Churro Cupcake Recipe

    The only time I usually have a churro is on vacation at a theme park or maybe at a baseball game. So being able to bring that flavor home into a cupcake makes it even more fun. I can see us having these as a fun dessert after a summer BBQ!

    The ingredients you need to make this delicious Churro Cupcake recipe.

    What you need:

    • 1 1/2 C Flour
    • 1 C + 2 TBSP Sugar
    • 1 3/4 tsp Baking Powder
    • 1/2 tsp salt
    • 2  tsp Vanilla
    • 2 Eggs
    • 1/4 C  Crisco or greek yogurt
    • 1/2 C Milk
    • 4 TBSP Cinnamon
    • 1/2 C butter

    What you do:

    1. Heat the oven to 350 degrees.
    2. Prepare cupcake pan using either cupcake liners or greasing each tin.
    3. Sift to combine flour, baking powder, salt and 2 TBSP of cinnamon in a bowl.
    4. Cream the yogurt or Crisco and sugar together in a mixing bowl. Mix with electric mixer on low. You want the texture to be very smooth.
    5. Add the eggs, one at a time, in with the yogurt/Crisco and sugar mixture. Beat on medium until combined.
    6. Mix the vanilla in to the mixture.
    7. Beat the mixture slowly as you add the milk.
    8. Fill cupcake cups about 2/3 full. Bake at 350 degrees for 15-18 minutes.
    9. Allow to cool for 10 minutes while you melt butter in microwave.
    10. Mix 2 TBSP of cinnamon to 2 TBSP of fine grain white sugar in a bowl. ( You can put 2 TBSP of white sugar in your food processor to make a fine grain sugar.)
    11. Brush melted butter on each of the cupcakes and then dip the cupcake top into the cinnamon and sugar mixture.
    12. Frost each cupcake with this Cinnamon Frosting recipe and enjoy!

    This homemade Churro Cupcake recipes is full of sweet, cinnamon flavor!

      Hi Mariah, this recipe looks fantastic and I will be making it for a Cinco de Mayo celebration next week. I have a question about the recipe, it calls for 6 TBSP cinnamon, but in the directions only 4 are used (2 into the batter and 2 into the sugar for the top), where do the remaining 2 TBPS go? Thanks!

          Thanks Mariah! Now I have a question about the frosting, the recipe states 1/2 unsalted sweet cream butter, is this 1/2 cup or 1/2 of a stick?

          Thanks!

              One more question…in step #3 of the cupcake recipe it states to add salt, however that is not listed in the ingredients, how much should be used?

              Thanks!
