Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups almond flour
  • 1/4 cup vanilla protein powder
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/3 cup granulated monk fruit sweetener
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil (for coating)
  • 2 tablespoons sugar-free maple syrup (for glaze)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and prepare pan: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a small bundt pan or 8×8-inch baking dish thoroughly to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine almond flour, vanilla protein powder, baking powder, and salt ensuring the mixture is uniform.
  3. Mix wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, plain Greek yogurt, unsweetened almond milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and well incorporated.
  4. Form the dough: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until a soft dough forms. The dough should be pliable enough to scoop into balls.
  5. Prepare cinnamon coating: In a small bowl, mix the granulated monk fruit sweetener with cinnamon to create the coating mixture.
  6. Shape and coat dough balls: Scoop the dough into approximately 1-inch balls. Roll each ball lightly in the cinnamon and monk fruit mixture, then place them evenly spaced in the greased pan.
  7. Add coconut oil and nuts: Drizzle the melted coconut oil evenly over the dough balls. If using, sprinkle chopped pecans or walnuts over the top for added texture and flavor.
  8. Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the monkey bread is golden brown and firm to the touch.
  9. Cool and glaze: Remove the monkey bread from the oven and allow it to cool slightly in the pan. Drizzle with sugar-free maple syrup glaze before serving for a delicious finishing touch.

Notes

  • You can substitute monk fruit sweetener with erythritol or other sugar-free sweetener blends.
  • For extra fiber, add a tablespoon of chia seeds or flax meal to the dough.
  • Use a whey or plant-based protein powder that is suitable for baking to maintain texture and flavor.
  • Make sure the pan is well greased to prevent sticking and allow easy removal.
  • Optional nuts add crunch but can be omitted for nut-free preference.
