Time 2h15m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 cup Almond Breeze Vanilla OR any Almond Breeze Almond-Cashew Blend
⅓ cup warm water (110 degrees F)
¼ cup granulated sugar
1 (.25 ounce) package instant yeast
3 ¼ cups all-purpose flour, plus more for work surface
2 teaspoons salt
1 cup light brown sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
8 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 ½ cups mini chocolate chips
1 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons Almond Breeze Vanilla or Almond Cashew Blend
½ teaspoon vanilla bean paste

Steps:

  • Spray 6 mini Bundt pans with non-stick spray and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, mix together almond milk, water, melted butter, sugar and yeast and let sit for 5 minutes. Mix the flour and salt in stand mixer fitted with a dough hook. Turn machine to low and slowly add the liquid to the flour mixture. After dough comes together, increase speed to medium and mix until dough is shiny and smooth, 6 to 7 minutes. Turn dough onto lightly floured counter and knead briefly to form smooth, round ball.
  • Place dough in greased bowl and cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place in a warm area until it doubles in size, 50 to 60 minutes.
  • While the dough is rising, mix brown sugar, cinnamon and mini chocolate chips together in a bowl. Place melted butter in second bowl. Set aside.
  • Gently remove the dough from the bowl, and pat into a rough 8-inch square. Using a bench scraper or knife, cut dough into 64 pieces.
  • Roll each piece of dough into a ball. Working one at a time, dip the balls into the melted butter, allowing excess butter to drip back into the bowl. Roll in the brown sugar mixture, then layer balls in the muffin tin or mini Bundt pan, staggering seams where dough balls meet as you build layers. Once filled, let the unbaked dough rest for another 45 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Bake until the top is deep brown and caramel begins to bubble around the edges. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then turn out onto a platter and allow to cool, about 10 minutes.
  • While the monkey bread cools, whisk the confectioners' sugar, almond milk and vanilla bean paste in a small bowl until the lumps are gone. Using a whisk, drizzle the glaze over the monkey bread, letting it run over top and down the sides of the bread. Serve warm.

CHUNKY MONKEY BEST VEGAN CHOCOLATE CHIP BANANA BREAD RECIPE - (4.3/5)



Chunky Monkey Best Vegan Chocolate Chip Banana Bread Recipe - (4.3/5) image

Provided by á-49368

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups all-purpose unbleached white flour
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
dash salt (optional)
3 medium very ripe bananas
juice of 1/2 lemon
1/2 cup coconut oil
1 cup vegan chocolate chips/chunks

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. 2. In a big bowl, combine all dry ingredients and sift well with a fork or a whisk. In a medium bowl, mash the bananas, leaving some small chunky bits. Add the oil and lemon juice to the bananas, and combine well. 3. Add the wet ingredients and the chocolate chips to the big bowl with the dry ingredients, and combine well until just mixed. (Don't overmix-when in doubt, just stop, since it's better that two chocolate chips are touching than that your loaf is tough). 4. Pour the batter into a loaf pan or 2 mini loaf pans. Bake for 45-50 minutes (big loaf) or 25 minutes (small loaf). Since heat varies by the oven, you should check the loaves using the toothpick method. When it's golden on top and toothpick comes out clean, it's done. Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh ingredients will give your monkey bread the best flavor. If possible, use organic ingredients.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make it tough. Mix it just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place: The dough will rise best in a warm place. You can place it in a warm oven or on top of the stove.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When you're baking the monkey bread, don't overcrowd the pan. The pieces of dough should have enough space to rise and cook evenly.
  • Bake the monkey bread until it's golden brown: Bake the monkey bread until it's golden brown. This will ensure that it's cooked through.
