In a small saucepan, gently warm the almond milk until lukewarm. Remove from heat and stir in 10 grams of sugar and the instant yeast. Let it activate for about 5 minutes until foamy.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, remaining sugar, and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the yeast mixture, vanilla extract, and melted coconut oil.
Mix until a dough begins to form, then knead on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
In a small bowl, combine cocoa powder with 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil and maple syrup to form a smooth paste.
Punch down the risen dough and roll it out on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle approximately 12x16 inches.
Spread the cocoa paste evenly over the dough, then sprinkle the vegan chocolate chips over the top.
Roll the dough tightly from the shorter end, creating a log. Slice the log in half lengthwise and twist the two halves together, keeping the cut sides up to reveal the layers.
Place the twisted dough on a parchment-lined baking sheet and cover loosely. Allow it to rise for another 30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Once the dough has risen again, bake the babka for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
Let the babka cool slightly before slicing. Toast slices until crispy and serve warm. Enjoy your vegan babka toast with a spread of vegan butter or your favorite jam!
