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:

1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease a bundt pan or a 9×9-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, granulated erythritol, baking powder, and salt.
3. In a separate bowl, combine the melted butter, almond milk, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix well.
4. 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.
5. Roll the dough into small, bite-sized balls, approximately 1 inch in diameter.
6. In a shallow dish, combine the granulated erythritol and ground cinnamon for the coating.
7. 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.
8. Repeat the process until all the dough balls are coated and arranged in the pan.
9. 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.
10. 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.
11. Serve warm and enjoy!
