Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Almond flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup Granulated erythritol
- 1 tablespoon Ground cinnamon
- 3 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 4 oz Cream cheese
- 0.25 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Pecans, chopped
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a bundt pan generously with butter or cooking spray.
In a large bowl, mix together almond flour, baking powder, salt, and xanthan gum to create a dry mixture.
In a small saucepan, melt 1/4 cup of unsalted butter over low heat, then add granulated erythritol and 1/2 tablespoon of cinnamon. Stir until combined, and set aside.
In another bowl, beat together the eggs and vanilla extract until well combined.
Add the eggs into the dry mixture and mix until a dough forms.
In a microwave-safe bowl, heat cream cheese and heavy cream together in the microwave until soft and mixable, approximately 30 seconds to 1 minute.
Stir the cream cheese mixture and the remaining melted butter into the dough until everything is well incorporated.
Divide the dough into small, bite-sized balls. Dip each ball into the melted butter and erythritol mixture before layering them in the greased bundt pan.
Sprinkle chopped pecans evenly between the layers of dough balls as you fill the bundt pan.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the monkey bread is golden brown and firm to the touch.
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then carefully invert onto a plate to serve.
Sprinkle with remaining cinnamon and more erythritol if desired, and enjoy your low-carb monkey bread!
