Ingredients

Scale

Dough:

  • 2 cups mozzarella, shredded
  • 2 oz cream cheese
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups almond flour
  • 1/3 cup Swerve Sweetener
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Cinnamon Coating:

  • 3 tbsp butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup Swerve Granulated Sweetener
  • 2 tbsp ground cinnamon

Butter Sauce:

  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 2 tbsp heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup Brown Swerve Sweetener
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • pinch of salt
  • Optional: pecans, stirred into sauce

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) to prepare for baking the monkey bread.
  2. Melt Cheeses: In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the shredded mozzarella and cream cheese in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until fully melted and combined.
  3. Add Egg and Vanilla: Mix the egg and vanilla extract into the melted cheese mixture thoroughly.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: Whisk together almond flour, Swerve sweetener, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl.
  5. Form Dough: Add the dry ingredients to the cheese and egg mixture and knead with your hands until you get a smooth, well-combined dough.
  6. Shape Dough Balls: Divide the dough evenly into 24 small balls and set aside for coating.
  7. Prepare Cinnamon Sugar: In a small bowl, mix the Swerve granulated sweetener with ground cinnamon.
  8. Coat Dough Balls: Dip each dough ball into melted butter, then roll them thoroughly in the cinnamon sugar mixture before placing them into a greased bundt pan.
  9. Make Butter Sauce: In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, combine butter, heavy cream, brown Swerve sweetener, and salt. Heat until it just reaches a boil, then remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract. Optionally stir in pecans now.
  10. Pour Sauce: Evenly pour the warm butter sauce over the coated dough balls in the bundt pan to saturate them.
  11. Bake: Place the bundt pan in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, until the tops are golden brown and the sauce is bubbling.
  12. Cool and Serve: Let the monkey bread cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes before carefully inverting it onto a serving plate to enjoy.

Notes

  • Use full-fat shredded mozzarella and cream cheese for best texture and flavor.
  • Ensure the dough balls are well-coated with butter and cinnamon sugar for an even sweet crust.
  • Allow the monkey bread to cool slightly to let the sauce thicken and set before serving.
  • Optional pecans add a nice crunch and a subtle nutty flavor to the butter sauce.
  • This recipe is perfect for a ketogenic diet and low-carb lifestyles.
