Instructions
Step 1: Preheat & Prep
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Lightly grease your bundt pan or loaf pan with baking spray or coconut oil.
Step 2: Mix the Dough
In a large bowl, whisk together almond flour, protein powder, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
In another bowl, whisk together almond milk, Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, and eggs.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry mixture, stirring until a dough forms.
Let the dough sit for 5 minutes to firm up slightly.
Step 3: Form the Dough Balls
Use your hands to roll the dough into small balls (about 1 inch wide). You should get about 20-24 balls.
Step 4: Coat the Dough Balls
In a small bowl, mix cinnamon and monk fruit sweetener.
Dip each dough ball in melted coconut oil, then roll in the cinnamon-sweetener mix.
Place coated balls evenly in the prepared pan.
Step 5: Make the Sticky Glaze
In a small saucepan over low heat, combine nut butter, monk fruit sweetener, almond milk, vanilla, and salt.
Stir until the mixture is smooth and slightly thickened (about 2-3 minutes).
Pour the glaze evenly over the dough balls in the pan.
Step 6: Bake
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
Let it cool for 10 minutes before carefully inverting onto a plate.
Step 7: Serve and Enjoy
Pull apart and enjoy warm! It’s sticky, sweet, and absolutely satisfying.
Notes
Don’t Overbake – Check at 20 minutes to keep the bread moist.
Use Quality Protein – A good-tasting vanilla protein powder enhances flavor.
Go Nuts – Add chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans for crunch.
Chill Leftovers – Store in the fridge and reheat gently before eating.
