Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 240 grams Whole wheat flour
- 60 grams Vanilla protein powder
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 60 grams Unsalted butter
- 120 grams Greek yogurt
- 60 grams Honey
- 1 large Egg
- 120 ml Milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 100 grams Dark chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon Instant yeast
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, vanilla protein powder, baking powder, salt, and instant yeast.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
In a separate bowl, mix the melted butter, Greek yogurt, honey, egg, milk, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour the wet mixture into it. Stir until just combined.
Fold in the dark chocolate chips gently, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Divide the dough into 12 equal-sized portions and shape each into a ball. Place the buns on the prepared baking tray, leaving a bit of space between each.
Let the buns rest for about 10 minutes to allow the yeast to activate slightly.
Bake the buns in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Remove from oven and allow to cool on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes before serving.
