Looking for a new Christmas tradition? Every Christmas morning I make this 1-Hour Vegan Monkey Bread for myself and my family. It’s super easy to make and takes no time at all. But that’s not even the best part. It will fill your whole house with the warm smell of cinnamon and sugar and your whole family will love it.
NO-RISE VEGAN MONKEY BREAD
If you’re anything like me and don’t plan very far in advance, this monkey bread is for you. You don’t have to wait for the dough to rise so you can make this right before you’re ready to enjoy it! No yeast required. Yeast naturally requires time to rise which is why this recipe doesn’t call for it. Instead, you’ll be using baking powder to help this dough rise –– likely more baking powder than you’re used to. But don’t worry, you won’t notice it!
INGREDIENTS YOU’LL NEED
These are all the ingredients you’ll need for this recipe. I’ve gone ahead and linked some of my favourites here in case you don’t already have them:
- All-purpose flour
- Plant milk (of your choice)
- Coconut oil or vegan butter
- Walnuts or pecans (optional)
- Coconut sugar
- Baking powder
- Cinnamon
- Salt
WHAT THE HECK IS MONKEY BREAD?
Bread for monkeys? No, don’t worry. This bread is 100% intended for humans. Monkey bread is the same as pull-apart bread. I think it was nicknamed “monkey” bread because you use your hands to eat it. Similar to how a monkey eats? That’s my thought at least.
To make this 1-Hour Vegan Monkey Bread, you’re going to make the dough and then roll it into balls. Then, you’re going to take each small dough ball and roll it in a cinnamon-sugar mixture––that way each ball is sweet and cinnamon-spiced!
