Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a small ramekin.
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, protein powder, and yogurt until it forms a workable dough. Knead with your hands a few times then roll into 1-inch balls.
Mix the allulose, sugar, and cinnamon in a bowl. Roll the balls of dough in the cinnamon sugar mixture and place them in the ramekin. If there is a lot of extra cinnamon sugar mixture left at the end, sprinkle some more of it on top of the dough balls.
Bake at 350 degrees F for 15-20 minutes, or until the dough is cooked through (a toothpick should pull clean from the center).
In a small bowl, combine the powdered sugar and milk together to make a thin icing. Drizzle over the monkey bread. Enjoy!
Notes
If the dough is too dry, add an extra spoonful of yogurt; if too moist, add an extra spoonful of flour or protein powder.
Recipes with protein powder can be highly dependent on the quality of the powder; I recommend the specific option above.
Instead of icing, you can alternatively mash some berries to use as a topping.
If you feel like there’s not enough icing, feel free to double that to make more for topping.
Feel free to enjoy the whole recipe or split it with a pal.
