yes finally a keto monkey bread recipe without using fat head dough
one of my favorite classic holiday brunch recipes around the holidays is monkey bread it's very
popular for those cold and cozy winter mornings and the combination of cinnamon with buttery syrup
and the fun pull apart bread makes it a delicious addition to the season's festivities monkey bread
is a soft sweet sticky pastry where pieces of baked dough are sprinkled with cinnamon and sugar
and coated in a sticky buttery syrup of course traditional monkey bread can be higher in carbs
especially the dough and the syrup because they're loaded in sugars
instead of using traditional sugars i'm going to put my own twist on these recipes
using truvia sweet complete granulated all-purpose sweetener and sweet complete brown sweetener
they just happen to be my sponsors for this video using these truvia sweeteners we're able to keep
the classic monkey bread flavors and sweetness on point while limiting the added sugar i love using
these products the sweet complete brown sweetener and the sweet complete granulated sweetener
in my keto baking especially around the holidays because they measure cup for cup replacement for
granulated and brown sugar in recipes now when it comes to making keto monkey bread
most recipes actually use fat head dough and i'm not a fan of using that because it's a lot of
mozzarella cheese and it just has this underlying cheese flavor and it doesn't really pair well
with keto like baked goods or pastries so instead i'm going to show you how to make a fluffy
pull apart keto bread without using fat head dough now let's get to baking and i'm going to show you
how to make this we're going to start with a large bowl we're gonna add four cups of almond flour
one cup of unflavored low carb protein powder one tablespoon of baking powder two teaspoons
of xanthan gum and two teaspoons of salt you wanna whisk this together until it's combined
and then we're going to stir in one cup of unsalted butter that's melted and a quarter cup
of sour cream and two eggs then mix that together with an electric mixer until it's combined
now let's move on to our sweet cinnamon coating in a small bowl we're going to add
1 3 cup of sweet complete granulated sweetener 2 teaspoons of cinnamon and a quarter teaspoon
of nutmeg mix these together until they're combined and then we're gonna pinch off a
little bit of dough and roll it in between the palm of your hands to it's about like
three quarters of an inch to an inch in diameter and then we're gonna roll it around
in that sweet cinnamon mixture until it's evenly coated next we're going to
place the dough ball into a bundt pan that i've already sprayed with cooking spray
i love that the truvia sweet complete sweetener measures cup for cup like
sugar so i don't have to do any complicated conversions and as this monkey bread bakes
each of the dough balls will have a cinnamon syrupy coating around them
now that we're done we're going to bake this in a 325 degree oven for 25 minutes
meanwhile let's move on to that brown buttery caramel syrup in a medium saucepan we're going to
melt a quarter cup of unsalted butter over medium heat then stir in 1 3 cup of sweet complete brown
sweetener and let this cook for around two to three minutes or until it starts to be bubbling
truvia's sweet complete brown sweetener is a calorie-free sweetener with just a hint of
molasses that provides a warm brown sugar-like taste and it's perfect for this holiday bread
now that it's bubbling let's just turn down the heat a little bit and then slowly stir in
one half cup of heavy cream the mixture is going to bubble like crazy don't worry this is normal
it's going to die down a little bit you want to lower the heat to low medium and continue to let
it cook until it's thickened that'll take around 5 to 10 minutes then we're going to sprinkle in
some salt remove it from the heat and look at how wonderful this looks the sweet complete
brown sweetener really adds a caramel flavor to this sauce our keto monkey bread has finished
baking i let it cool for a few minutes in the bun pan before inverting it onto our serving tray
and then immediately drizzle that brown butter caramel syrup over all of your pull apart bread
i like to top mine with crushed pecans now it's time to share this revolutionized take on
a holiday classic monkey bread pull it apart dip it in more of that caramel brown butter sauce and
sit back and enjoy with your friends and family thanks to truvia we were able to make a reduced
sugar version of this holiday favorite that can easily be enjoyed by anyone on a keto lifestyle
