Ingredients

• 240 grams whole wheat flour
• 7 grams instant yeast
• 120 milliliters warm water
• 60 grams unsweetened applesauce
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 teaspoons cinnamon
• 100 grams granulated erythritol
• 60 grams butter (or coconut oil for dairy-free)
• 60 milliliters almond milk (unsweetened)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 50 grams chopped pecans

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, instant yeast, and salt.

Step 2

In a separate small bowl, mix warm water, unsweetened applesauce, and vanilla extract. Stir until well combined.

Step 3

Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and mix until a soft dough forms.

Step 4

Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.

Step 5

Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Step 6

In a small saucepan, melt the butter (or coconut oil) and combine with almond milk.

Step 7

In a shallow dish, mix granulated erythritol and cinnamon.

Step 8

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).

Step 9

Punch down the risen dough and divide it into small balls, roughly the size of a walnut.

Step 10

Dip each ball first in the butter mixture, then roll it in the erythritol cinnamon mixture.

Step 11

Layer the coated dough balls in a greased Bundt pan, sprinkling chopped pecans in between layers.

Step 12

Once all balls are layered, cover the pan and let rise for another 20-30 minutes.

Step 13

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 14

Allow the monkey bread to cool slightly in the pan before turning it out onto a serving plate.

Step 15

Serve warm and enjoy your sugar-free treat!
