Instructions

Step 1: Preheat & Prep
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Grease a muffin tin or small bundt pan with non-stick spray or coconut oil.

Step 2: Make the Dough
In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, protein powder, coconut flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In another bowl, whisk together melted butter, eggs, almond milk, vinegar, and vanilla extract.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and mix until a dough forms. Let it sit for 2-3 minutes to firm up slightly.

Step 3: Form Dough Balls
Using your hands or a small scoop, roll the dough into 1-inch balls. You should get 20–25 balls.
In a separate bowl, mix monk fruit sweetener and cinnamon.
Dip each dough ball into melted butter, then roll in the cinnamon mixture.

Step 4: Assemble & Bake
Place coated dough balls into the muffin tin or bundt pan, stacking and layering as needed.
Bake for 18–22 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
Let cool for 5–10 minutes before removing from the pan.

Step 5: Prepare the Glaze
In a small bowl, whisk together cream cheese, almond milk, powdered monk fruit, and vanilla until smooth.
Drizzle the glaze over the slightly cooled monkey bread.

Step 6: Serve & Enjoy
Pull apart and savor while warm, or store and reheat for a quick protein-packed treat anytime.

Notes

Don’t Skip the Coating – It gives the bread that signature gooey sweetness.
Adjust Sweetness – Add more or less monk fruit depending on your taste.
Use Silicone Molds – They make for easy release and clean-up.
Let It Cool Slightly – Helps the glaze set and the flavors meld.
