Monkey bread is a delicious treat that many people enjoy as either breakfast, a sweet snack or dessert after dinner. However, a lot of people find themselves having to say no to the monkey bread that they like so much due to all of the fat and calories that are in the dessert. Although it is certainly OK to enjoy the full-fat version of monkey bread in small portions on an occasional basis, it isn't a good idea to eat it all the time. This doesn't mean that you have to say no to monkey bread forever, however. Instead, you should consider following a few tips to make monkey bread a little more healthy.

One major ingredient in this sweet treat is butter. Although butter has a slightly richer taste than margarine and other alternatives, it can be far too fattening if you eat too much of it or if you enjoy it too often. Low-fat margarine is a far healthier option, however, and you can use it to make your monkey bread a little healthier and lower in fat and calories. You can even consider using just a tad bit of margarine, then spraying your monkey bread with a fat-free cooking spray. Although it might not taste quite the same as the monkey bread that you are used to, you will be able to enjoy it without all of the guilt.

There is also a lot of sugar in monkey bread. If you are concerned about sugar, you should consider using a low calorie sugar alternative. There are several brands out there to choose from, so choose your favorite and try implementing it into your existing monkey bread recipe. If you don't want to take out all of the regular sugar, consider using half sugar and half sugar alternative. It can make a considerable difference in how healthy your monkey bread is.

Lastly, consider looking at the type of biscuit that you use for your monkey bread. Many people use refrigerated biscuit dough, and you may use this type of breading as well. Consider looking for a reduced-fat version to further cut calories and fat grams.

Is fairy bread a healthy snack?

I would say that fairy bread is not healthy. It's basically bread and butter sprinkled with sugar. Sugar is unhealthy, butter is fat but it doesn't really matter if you have small amounts in this case. Most fairy bread is eaten with white bread which isn't so healthy, so I'd say it's more of unhealthy than healthy. Of course, eating it once in a while is fine but all the time isn't good. Hope I helped!
