Healthier Whole Wheat, Low Sugar/Fat Monkey Bread

Submitted by jessmill101

"This is a lower fat, calorie, and sugar version of an old favorite. Enjoy! The nutrition label does not recognize the sugar-free caramel. Mine that I use is 90 cals/2T. When you add 3/4 c of that and divide it by 16, your serving moves up to 176 calories/serving. Not bad at all! :)"
