Ingredients
1 cup butter {softened}
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup brown sugar {packed}
2 eggs
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
2 1/4 cups all purpose flour
1/2 tsp salt

Preheat oven to 350°. Spray a 9x13 pan with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
Cream together softened butter and both sugar with a hand held mixer {or by hand}. Add eggs and vanilla, mix until everything is combined.
Add the dry ingredients {flour, salt, baking powder and cinnamon}, mix until just combined. Pour into the prepared 9x13 pan and press into an even layer.
Combine the topping cinnamon and sugar and mix until it is evenly incorporated. Sprinkle liberally over the top of the dough in the 9x13 pan. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the bars are lightly browned and the middle is set.
Let the bars cool for 30 minutes and then cut them into squares. Serve warm or at room temperature. Store in an air tight container at room temperature for up to 4 days or freeze for 3 months.

Churro bars are the perfect blend of crispy and fluffy textures, ideal for anyone who loves the traditional Spanish churros but is looking for a simpler version. This recipe not only captures the comforting flavor of cinnamon and sugar but also incorporates a soft, cake-like base that’s incredibly satisfying. To elevate your churro bars, consider experimenting with various toppings. Drizzle chocolate or caramel sauce on top for an indulgent twist, or serve them alongside a scoop of ice cream—perfect for a dessert party! Additionally, sharing tips on how to achieve the best texture can be beneficial for readers. Make sure to blend the butter and sugars thoroughly to achieve a light, fluffy batter. When mixing in your dry ingredients, do so until just combined to avoid overmixing, which can lead to a dense bar instead of a light one. Storing these churro bars properly is essential to keep them fresh. To maintain their deliciousness, keep them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to four days, or if you want to store them longer, you can freeze them for up to three months. Just make sure to let them cool completely before freezing, and defrost them at room temperature when you’re ready to indulge again! Whether you’re baking for a family gathering or a cozy night in, these churro bars are sure to be a hit. They capture the essence of a classic dessert while being incredibly easy to make at home.
