Key ingredients for this vegan and gluten free monkey bread:
- Gluten free oat flour
- I like to make my own oat flour at home by blending some rolled oats in a high speed blender. I suggest getting it as fine as possible.
- Tapioca flour
- This ingredients helps keep the monkey bread together and improves the squishy texture.
- Almond milk
- I used more milk in the recipe to replace the butter in the dough. This helps reduce the amount of calories in this recipe.
- Maple syrup
- This is my favorite sweetener! I like using this in baked good to help keep the dough moist.
- Coconut sugar
- I like using coconut sugar to replace granulated can sugar! It has a deep rich color and flavor.
- Cinnamon
- I love cinnamon so I added a lot of this! It is necessary or the cinnamon sugar coating!
- Coconut oil/ coconut cream
- I used coconut oil to help the cinnamon sugar stick to the dough balls. The coconut cream was used as the glaze and it makes the monkey bread super moist as you eat it.
