For this recipe I kept is very simple but I also wanted to add a twist of some fall flavors such as maple and cinnamon so for that level up I included some protein clusters in maple that will just add that crunch to this epic recipe. We are keeping it gluten free as well!

About this Maple Cinnamon Monkey Bread:

How can we say no to a cozy and easy desserts? There's something irresistible about the taste and texture that I just couldn't resist using this maple cinnamon cereal in a cake! This recipe is low carb, high protein and easy to make.

The Base, Vegan Protein Goodness:

Adding some protein powder for extra creaminess and a satisfying filling. I have been also obsessed with the Nuzest Smooth Vanilla Plant Based Protein, their ingredients are always the best and the taste is always delicious too, this smooth vanilla is basically a healthy, dreamy and indulgent vanilla milkshake (keto and gluten free!).

And for this recipe the pea protein and coconut flour adds the density and consistency we want to create the balls for this iconic recipe inspired by the classic Monkey Bread. But instead this one is gluten free, low carb, and high protein.

Crunchy, melts in your mouth and just the best of both worlds. For snack or dessert these bars are just a great idea and good to keep in your freezer, no need to bake or cook... so this recipe is basically fail proof.
