High Protein, No Sugar Monkey Bread Recipe
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 cup vanilla protein powder (or unflavored)
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 3/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1/2 cup almond milk (or any milk of choice)
- 1/4 cup coconut oil (melted)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans, optional)
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon (for coating)
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil (melted, for coating)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a bundt pan or a round cake pan with coconut oil.
- In a large bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, protein powder, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
- In another bowl, whisk together the unsweetened applesauce, almond milk, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. If using, fold in the chopped nuts.
- Using your hands, pinch off small pieces of dough (about 1 inch in size) and roll them into balls.
- In a small bowl, mix the additional cinnamon with the melted coconut oil. Dip each dough ball into the cinnamon mixture, coating well.
- Place the coated dough balls into the prepared bundt pan, stacking them as you go. Make sure they are evenly distributed.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Allow the monkey bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before inverting it onto a serving plate.
- Pull apart the pieces and enjoy warm.
