I love making my Banana Monkey Bread because the dough is so easy to make, but I gave myself the challenge of making an even easier version of the dough with only 2 ingredients! It’s a simple dough similar to the inspiration for my Yogurt Buns or Air Fryer Donut Holes.

Ingredients and Substitutions

The dough only requires 2 ingredients, plus another two for the coating and one more for the drizzle.

Self-Rising Flour – Self-rising flour is a pre-mixed combination of all-purpose flour and baking powder. I didn’t try gluten-free flour, and I don’t think it would work for this recipe. Almond flour and coconut flour won’t work either at all. Plain Yogurt – You can use any plant-based yogurt that you want, from soy yogurt to almond yogurt. They pretty much all just work. Brown Sugar – You can use any unrefined sugar, like brown sugar or coconut sugar. Sugar-free alternatives also work if you need to cut down on sugar. Cinnamon – This is used to make the cinnamon sugar as well as the cinnamon coating. Maple Syrup – Maple syrup is added to cinnamon sugar to make the coating. You can swap it for coconut nectar, agave syrup, or brown rice syrup.

How to Make Monkey Bread Casserole

This recipe is relatively easy to make, there are no complex steps or tricky part. I’ve included below pictures of the main steps followed by a few tips. The full recipe card is further down.

Expert Tips

To make them as perfect as possible, I’ve included below my best tips:

The dough is sticky. Don’t add too much extra flour or the dough will be dense. Grease or oil your hands to work the dough with ease. Line the dough balls in a single layer. Don’t overlap them. Skip the sauce to cut down on sugar if you prefer. The sauce is oil-free and crisps in the oven creating a crispy cinnamon sugar on top of each ball. If you used all the cinnamon sugar to coat the dough ball, make the sauce by stirring 4 tablespoons of maple syrup with 2 teaspoons of cinnamon and 3 tablespoons of coconut sugar. To cut down calories and sugar use a zero-calorie sugar-free sweetener like brown erythritol.
