A soft, pull-apart loaf that mimics classic monkey bread without refined sugar and with added protein, perfect for quick breakfasts and meal prep.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour (180 g)
  • 0.5 cup vanilla protein powder (45 g)
  • 0.5 cup unflavored protein powder (45 g)
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 cups non-fat Greek yogurt (450 g), cold
  • 2 tablespoons almond milk (30 ml)
  • 3 tablespoons zero-calorie sugar replacement (18 g)
  • 1.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons chopped pecans (28 g), optional

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Generously butter a standard loaf pan, making sure the corners are well-coated. If using, scatter chopped pecans evenly across the bottom of the pan.
  2. Whisk the flour, vanilla protein powder, unflavored protein powder, baking powder, and baking soda in a large bowl until uniform and free of lumps.
  3. Add the cold Greek yogurt to the dry mix. Gently fold with a spatula until large, shaggy, sticky clumps form.
  4. Divide the dough into 25 equal pieces (about 2 tablespoons each). Roll each piece into a ball.
  5. Pour almond milk into a small bowl. In a shallow dish, mix the zero-calorie sugar substitute with the cinnamon.
  6. Dip each dough ball into the milk, then roll it to coat fully in the cinnamon-sweetener mixture. Place coated balls in the loaf pan, building layers until full.
  7. Bake uncovered for 20 minutes. Then tent the pan with foil and bake another 10–15 minutes until golden and cooked through.
  8. Cool for 5 minutes before serving so the texture sets.

Notes

Using a plant-based protein may yield a drier result; add 1 extra tablespoon of almond milk if needed. Measure flour by weight for best consistency.
