Churros are a take on fried dough with roots in Spain, Portugal, and Latin American cuisine, though they’re also quite popular in other parts of the world. They’re often rolled in cinnamon sugar and sometimes even served with melted chocolate for dipping.

The popularity of churros has inspired many food bloggers to create their own takes on this doughnut-like snack, using cinnamon in sugar in all kinds of desserts. Some are quite indulgent, while others are a bit healthier; whatever you’re in the mood for, we’ve got the perfect churro-inspired dessert for you here.
