Description
A healthier version of monkey bread that is high in protein and free of sugar, offering comforting flavors and nutrition.
Ingredients
- 1½ cups Flour (180g)
- ½ cup Vanilla Protein Powder (Whey-casein, 45g)
- ½ cup Unflavored Protein Powder (45g)
- 2 tsp Baking Powder
- ¼ tsp Baking Soda
- 2 cups Non-fat Greek Yogurt (450g)
- 2 Tbsp Almond Milk (30ml)
- 3 Tbsp Zero Calorie 1:1 Sugar Replacement (18g)
- 1½ tsp Cinnamon
- Optional: 2 Tbsp Chopped Pecans (28g)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and lightly butter a loaf pan. Spread optional chopped pecans on the bottom if desired.
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, vanilla protein powder, unflavored protein powder, baking powder, and baking soda.
- Add the Greek yogurt to the dry ingredients and mix until combined, forming large shaggy and sticky dough clumps.
- Slightly wet your palms to handle the sticky dough and divide it into approximately 25 pieces.
- Roll the pieces into balls, wetting your palms as needed to prevent sticking.
- Place the dough balls into the prepared loaf pan, ensuring an even distribution.
- Bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until the top turns golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Notes
Serve warm, possibly with almond butter or yogurt. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to three days or refrigerate for up to a week. Freeze individual dough balls before baking for convenience.
