Make a Batch of Sufnaniyot Doughnuts
There's nothing that says Hanukkah quite like this traditional little treat. These doughnuts use yeast to raise them to perfection, and even better, they only take about 45 minutes to make 16 to 20 servings. This recipe calls for ingredients like lemon zest, instant yeast, vanilla extract, and unbleached all purpose white flour, and it's the ultimate when it comes to “fried foods.” You can fill these tasty little doughnuts with strawberry jam, raspberry jam, or get a little crazy and try other fillings that suit your tastes. Cranberry jelly, pumpkin butter, or for an even bigger twist, try a cherry or blueberry filling. Whatever you choose to stuff them with, these little doughnuts are tasty bites of sweet flavor you'll have a hard time saying no to.Make a Batch of Cinnamon Babka
Cinnamon babka takes about 90 minutes to make (not including the dough’s overnight stay in the fridge beforehand). This recipe makes anywhere from 12 to 16 servings, and a base of organic ivory wheat flour helps to make this treat a bit healthier than your average babka. Use organic coconut sugar in the dough, the filling, and the syrup to add a deep and rich flavor of coconut to this dessert. Add in baking necessities like eggs, butter, salt, active dry yeast, and milk and mix with dashes of vanilla extract and ground cinnamon to add more flavor.Make a Batch of Crispy Coconut Sweet Potato Latkes
Considered by many to be one of the most favorites of dishes during the Hanukkah festivities, latkes are not always the healthiest of foods. Typically made with potatoes and often fried, this recipe is an alternative that offers a few more health benefits than your average fare. These crispy latkes are made from sweet potatoes, which are loaded with vitamin A, and then pan-fried in just 2 tablespoons of coconut oil, making them a little less “fried” and more like sautéed. Plus, coconut oil is considered a healthy fat, and one can never have too much goodness in one recipe!
Start with Bob’s Red Mill all purpose flour, sweet potatoes, and sweet yellow onion, and mix with egg, baking powder, pink Himalayan sea salt, and ground cinnamon. Drop this mixture into your pan by the spoonful and flatten them out. Cook until brown or to your liking. You can top these tasty treats with a warm cinnamon applesauce for extra deliciousness.
