Keto Monkey Bread Recipe:
Ingredients:
For the dough:
- 3 cups almond flour
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 1/4 cup granulated erythritol or your preferred keto-friendly sweetener
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the coating:
- 1/2 cup granulated erythritol or your preferred keto-friendly sweetener
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease a bundt pan or a 9×9-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, granulated erythritol, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, combine the melted butter, almond milk, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix well.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until a dough forms. Let the dough sit for a few minutes to allow the coconut flour to absorb the liquids.
- Roll the dough into small, bite-sized balls, approximately 1 inch in diameter.
- In a shallow dish, combine the granulated erythritol and ground cinnamon for the coating.
- Dip each dough ball into the melted butter, ensuring it is fully coated, then roll it in the cinnamon-sweetener mixture until evenly coated. Place the coated dough balls into the prepared bundt pan or baking dish.
- Repeat the process until all the dough balls are coated and arranged in the pan.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the monkey bread is golden brown and cooked through. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of the bread; it should come out clean.
- Remove the monkey bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for a few minutes. Then, carefully invert the pan onto a serving plate to release the monkey bread.
- Serve warm and enjoy!
