Crescent Roll Churros – this EASY baked churro recipe is crunchy and sweet and full of cinnamon flavor. Only 3 ingredients and are the perfect breakfast, brunch, or dessert recipe!
So…Crescent Roll Churros. This is such a brainless recipe that I’m not even sure it’s a recipe. But I made them last week for breakfast on a whim and then had to make them again to share because they were so good. We inhaled them!
There are only three ingredients:
- Crescent Roll Dough (and you could use any prepared dough or puff pastry if you can’t find crescent rolls)
- Sugar
- Cinnamon
That’s it! No butter, no oil, no frying, just 3 easy ingredients and an even easier not-a-recipe recipe.

I am guessing you’ve discovered I have an obsession with churros because this is my FIFTH churro recipe this year. I’ve done churro pies, churro bites, churro chips, and churro dip, not to mention sopapilla hand pies which are pretty much churros stuffed with no bake cheesecake. Basically, I like dough with cinnamon sugar. I’ve also made BAKED Churros which are a huge hit!
If you like snickerdoodles, then you’ll like baked churros even more, I pinky swear! All you have to do to make this Crescent Roll Churros recipe is spread cinnamon sugar inside a crescent roll, roll it up, roll it in more cinnamon sugar, then bake it. Easy to make, even easier to chow down on 8 of them without even noticing.
How to make Crescent Roll Churros
- Basically you’re just making crescent rolls as directed on the package, but adding cinnamon sugar inside and outside.
- Use any brand crescent roll dough or make homemade crescent rolls!
- Not only do these have cinnamon sugar inside but you also roll the dough in the mixture before baking.
- These are perfect with chocolate sauce, hot fudge, or caramel sauce!
- These are best served the day they’re made – but you can store them in an airtight container for up to 2 days.

My 17 yr old has been making these for years now.
Awesome. A big hit.
These rolls!! Genius. I’m not going to lie, a little bit scared to watch 13 reasons. I’m glad this will all blow over (and be old news) by the time my kids might be interested! Open conversations are key.
So we just or an email from our high school telling us not to let our kids watch 13 Reasons. Have you seen any of the TV series?
The reason for this is because 13 Reasons Why’s show communicates to children that “suicide is the most viable way to make yourself heard”. The series presents it as the ultimate gotcha, the best way for the protagonist to communicate her point.
Essentially, it tells kids “If you’re being bullied, and nobody will listen/you think nobody will listen, you can commit suicide to tell everyone you were right.”
Don’t let your kids watch it without making sure they’re mature enough to realize why this isn’t ACTUALLY an option. (People who bully you and make your life suck are not worth giving your life up over.)
My 17 year old son watched the series in 2 days, and is reading the book now. He told my 19 year old son about it, and he also watched the series in 2 days.
Think I’ll be making these churros this weekend!
