Banana Cinnamon Sugar Dumplings
Imagine eating these dessert dumplings with warm banana filling, infused with cinnamon and sugar, drizzled with chocolate…
This past weekend it snowed – a lot.
I was working on dumpling recipes for the new dumpling series here on Life’s Little Sweets and that’s when Eric came up with this gem of a recipe.
He developed it and I have him to thank for the idea!
These Banana Cinnamon Sugar Dumplings taste so good with melted chocolate or Homemade Chocolate Shell drizzled on them at serving.
Why not throw some Vanilla Whipped Cream on top while you are at it 🙂
I pan-fried them in butter but you can substitute coconut oil if you are non-dairy.
Eating these Banana Cinnamon Sugar Dumplings was like having a restaurant-quality dessert in the comfort of our own home!
These would be fun to make with friends because if you are making a lot, folding the dumplings can take a little while.
You can also just make a small batch using 1 banana.
We recommend only mashing the banana slightly so that the dumpling hold it’s shape as it’s cooking.
You can mix the cinnamon sugar in with the mashed banana or sprinkle a little before folding it.
As it cooks, it melts and combines resulting in a warm, creamy center that tastes so good!
Each one is bite-size. 1 recipe feeds makes 2 servings. You can easily double or triple the recipe if you need a larger amount.
These would be great for entertaining!
They kinda remind me of churros, only with a banana flavor – you could also try drizzling Nutella on them!

Banana Cinnamon Sugar Dumplings
Banana Cinnamon Sugar Dumplings are a warm, buttery, and delicious dessert. So easy to make with only 5 ingredients!
Ingredients
- 1 ripe banana
- cinnamon-sugar mixture, (3 tablespoons granulated sugar & 1-1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon) - for sprinkling in the dumpling before cooking and before serving
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter for frying, (You can substitute the same amount coconut oil for a non-dairy option)
- 12-ounce package of square or round wonton wraps, (we use square because that’s what’s always at our grocery store, I suggest getting an extra package just in case) We use Nasoya All Natural Wonton Wraps (you will not use the entire package)
- -small bowl of water for preparing the dumplings
- Optional: Homemade Chocolate Shell or melted semi-sweet, milk or dark chocolate (we use dark chocolate)
Instructions
- Mix the cinnamon and sugar. Slightly mash 1 banana in a small bowl. Prepare the dumplings, the amount you make will depend on how large or small you make them. I suggest using a scant teaspoon per square wonton wrapper. Using your fingers, use water on the edges of the wonton wrapper to adhere to the sides of the wonton. Sprinkle a pinch of the cinnamon-sugar mixture per dumpling.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter in a medium or large skillet, when the butter is melted, fry the dumplings, making sure that they are not touching. Stay close as they cook quickly. Rotate the dumplings as they brown with tongs. Cook them until they are golden brown which is about 3 minutes. Adjust the heat, if necessary, so that they do not burn. When they are done, remove them from heat onto a plate, and sprinkle with the remaining cinnamon-sugar mixture, as desired. Optional: drizzle with Homemade Chocolate Shell or melted chocolate. Enjoy them when they are warm.

I’ve tried a few of your recipes and read through many more. I really enjoy them! I just wanted to mention that I noticed that you always seem to say to use “thongs” to turn the food. Thongs are string underwear. Tongs are cooking utensils. Sorry, I just saw it in several of your recipes and wanted to let you know.
Hi Ginger, thank you for letting me know. I have hundreds of recipes on this blog and I do use Grammarly to catch mistakes now. This recipe was written before then. I do know the difference and find that spelling mistake both horrifying and funny at the same time. I corrected where I noticed it in this post just now. Thank you for leaving a comment and letting me know! Best wishes!
