Banana Chocolate Sufganiyot Recipe (Hanukkah Chunky Monkey Donuts)
Description
The Banana Chocolate Sufganiyot recipe features yeast-raised dough enriched with butter, eggs, and aromatic extracts including vanilla, rum, and brandy. After rising, the dough is shaped into small balls and fried until golden, creating a soft interior with crisp edges. The filling blends banana pudding, whipped cream, dark and milk chocolate, and finely ground pecans for a luscious, textured center. A dark chocolate glaze satinates the finished donuts, with minced pecans and dried banana slices providing contrast and garnish.
This recipe results in festive fried treats that combine fruit and chocolate flavors with a nutty crunch, making them appealing for holidays like Hanukkah or any occasion where an indulgent filled doughnut is welcome. They are best enjoyed fresh to preserve the contrast between crispy exterior and creamy filling.

- 1 teaspoon rum extract
- 1 teaspoon brandy
- 90 grams butter softened
Banana chocolate filling:
- 250 ml whipping cream 1 cup
- 4 TB banana pudding
- ¼ cup powdered sugar
- 150 g dark chocolate
- 50 g milk chocolate
- 40 g pecans (4 TBs) finely ground
- pecans
Glaze:

- 20 g neutral cooking oil generic cooking oil
Topping:

Instructions
Activate yeast:
- Mix 5 teaspoons of active dry yeast into ½ cup of warm water. Add 2 teaspoons of sugar. Let stand for 10 mins.
- Put flour, salt, sugar and moist yeast in a mixer bowl. Mix lightly with a kneading hook. Add milk, eggs, extracts and brandy and mix about 3 minutes on low speed. Increase the mixer speed to medium and set for another 3 minutes. Gradually add butter and mix for another 4 minutes on high speed until a soft and pliable dough is obtained.
- Form the dough into balls weighing about 30 grams (the size of a ping pong ball) and place on a tray smeared with a little oil at intervals of 5-4 cm. Cover the tray with cling film and a towel and let it rise for one to two hours until doubled in volume.
- Heat canola oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Fry the donuts for 3-2 minutes on each side until golden brown. It is important to maintain a medium flame, so as not to burn them. Remove to a plate lined with absorbent paper.
Make the filling:
- Heat cream in microwave until very hot. Add remaining ingredients and mix until chocolate is fully melted and everything is combined. Chill in freezer for at least one hour.
Make the glaze:
- Melt chocolate and oil in microwave and mix until fully combined.
Fill and coat the donuts:
- Using a pastry bag or a syringe, pipe about 15 grams (about a tablespoon) of the selected filling for each donut. Dip the top of each donut in the coating. Pipe another round of filling on top. Sprinkle with minced pecans and decorate with a banana chip.
