Ingredients

2-Ingredient Dough

2 ¾ cups Self-Rising Flour (note 1)
1 ½ cup Plant-Based Yogurt (note 2)

To coat

¼ cup Brown Sugar or coconut sugar
1 tablespoon Cinnamon

To drizzle

1 batch Cinnamon Sugar made just before
3-4 tablespoons Maple Syrup

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 °F (180 °C). Line an 8-inch square pan with parchment paper, keeping some pieces hanging over the sides so you can easily lift out the monkey bread from the pan to serve on a board. Slightly oil the pan and set it aside.
In a large mixing bowl, add self-rising flour and yogurt.
Stir with a silicone spatula at first, then oil your hands generously with melted plant-based butter or coconut oil and knead the dough until it forms a soft and elastic ball.
Divide the dough into 18 small golf-sized balls. The dough is sticky and that's normal. Oil your hands to work the dough if too sticky.
Meanwhile, fill a bowl with sugar and cinnamon. Roll each dough ball into the cinnamon sugar. It should lightly coat each ball, and some of the cinnamon sugar should remain to make the sauce in the next step.
Place each ball of dough into the prepared pan next to each other, in a single layer. They won't touch each other, so press the top to flatten the balls a little and make each piece of dough touch each other.
In the bowl with the remaining cinnamon sugar, add 3-4 tablespoons of maple syrup to form a sauce and drizzle all over the pan.
Bake the monkey bread casserole on the center rack of an oven preheated to 350 °F (180 °C) for 35 to 40 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center of one of the dough balls comes out clean.
Let it cool down for 15 minutes in the pan, then serve it in the pan or release it on a wooden board, lifting the hanging pieces of parchment paper on the sides of the pan.
Drizzle the icing sugar on top of the cooled monkey bread before serving. If the monkey bread is warm, the icing melts in - not recommended!

Notes

Note 1: 1 cup of self-rising equivalent to 1 cup of all-purpose flour with 2 teaspoons of baking powder.

Note 2: You can use any yogurt you like, I used plain unsweetened yogurt because the recipe already contains lots of added sugar.
