Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams whole wheat flour
- 7 grams instant yeast
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 50 grams monk fruit sweetener
- 200 milliliters unsweetened almond milk
- 50 grams unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 100 grams dark chocolate chips (sugar-free)
- 1 egg
Instructions
In a small saucepan, warm the almond milk over low heat until it's just warm to the touch (about 100°F/38°C).
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the butter until it melts completely.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, instant yeast, salt, and monk fruit sweetener.
Add the warm almond milk and butter mixture to the dry ingredients and mix well until a dough begins to form.
Add the vanilla extract and chocolate chips, and continue to mix until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth.
Place the dough back into the bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rest in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down gently to release air, and divide it into 8 equal portions.
Shape each portion into a bun and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Cover the buns with the kitchen towel again and let them rise for another 20-30 minutes.
Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Before baking, whisk the egg in a small bowl, and brush each bun with the egg wash for a golden finish.
Bake the buns in the preheated oven for 15 minutes or until golden brown on top.
Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
