The fluffy, cinnamon-spiced cupcake base is covered in sweet cinnamon sugar, and on top is crunchy churro cereal. These Churro Cupcakes are a fun take on the classic churro. You can make them easily, and anyone who likes churros will love them.
Ingredients: 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour. 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder. 1/2 teaspoon salt. 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon. 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg. 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened. 1 cup granulated sugar. 2 large eggs. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. 1/2 cup whole milk. 1/2 cup cinnamon sugar for coating. 1 cup churro cereal for topping.
Instructions: Preheat your oven to 350F 175C and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg. In another bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Divide the cupcake batter evenly among the prepared cupcake liners, filling each about 2/3 full. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cupcakes to cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Once the cupcakes are cool, coat them in the cinnamon sugar mixture by rolling the tops of the cupcakes in it. Finally, top each cupcake with a generous sprinkle of churro cereal for that extra crunch and churro flavor. Enjoy your Easy Churro Cupcakes with Churro Cereal!
