Ingredients
To start, gather the following ingredients:
– 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
– 1/4 cup sugar
– 2 teaspoons baking powder
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
– 1/4 cup melted butter or coconut oil
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1 cup chopped nuts (optional)
– 1 cup diced fruits (optional)
– 1 cup powdered sugar
– 1 tablespoon milk (dairy or non-dairy)
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round pan or a 9×13-inch rectangular baking dish with butter or non-stick cooking spray.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
3. In a separate bowl, mix the milk, melted butter or coconut oil, and vanilla extract.
4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the monkey bread dense.
5. Stir in the chopped nuts and diced fruits, if using.
6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it out evenly.
7. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. While the monkey bread is baking, prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar and milk until smooth.
9. Once the monkey bread is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
10. Drizzle the glaze over the monkey bread and let it set for a few minutes before serving.
