Superfood Monkey Bread
Prep this Superfood Monkey Bread together as a family on Christmas Eve and then pop it into the oven when you wake up on Christmas morning. There’s nothing better than eating a few warm, wholesome pieces as you open your stockings and gifts with a cup of coffee or tea!
Gather This:
For the dough:
- 1 cup of coconut oil
- 1 cup of water
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 2 cups + 2 tablespoons of Otto's cassava flour
- 1/3 cup coconut milk powder*
- 1/3 cup coconut flour
- 2 large eggs or gelatin eggs* or flax eggs for vegan
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
For the topping:
- 1/3 cup walnuts or pecans, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Chosen Foods Avocado Oil Spray, butter, ghee, or palm shortening, softened
- 3 tablespoons unrefined granulated sugar (date, palm or maple sugar)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
For rolling the dough:
- 1/2 cup unrefined granulated sugar (we used coconut sugar)
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup butter, vegan butter, ghee or palm shortening, melted
- 1 tablespoon Cacao Magic Superfood + Protein Powder
Do This:
- In a small pot over medium heat, combine the coconut oil, water, maple syrup, and salt. Bring to a boil, whisking frequently.
- Remove from the heat and whisk in the cassava flour, coconut milk powder, coconut flour, baking soda, and gelatin egg (if using).
- If using regular eggs, whisk in after the mixture has cooled for 5 minutes.
- Grease a bundt pan with Chosen Foods Avocado Oil Spray or butter, ghee or palm shortening.
- In a small bowl, combine topping ingredients with a fork, then spread over the bottom of the bundt pan.
- In a separate bowl, combine rolling mixture. Roll one inch balls in the cinnamon-sugar mixture, then place inside the bundt pan. Continue until all dough is used.
- Pour melted butter, ghee, or palm shortening into remaining rolling cinnamon-sugar and stir together. Pour over the monkey bread.
- Bake in 350 degree oven for 30 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a serving plate.
If you would like to make this now and don't have milk powder, replace the coconut milk powder with coconut flour. The dough will be more dry, and the sugar will not stick to each ball. Therefore, you will need to roll the dough balls into coconut milk before dipping + rolling in sugar. The result will be a much drier (rather than chewier) inner texture, but that's the cost of immediate gratification :)
