Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 240 ml Unsweetened almond milk
- 2.5 teaspoons Instant yeast
- 50 grams Granulated sugar
- 450 grams All-purpose flour
- 50 grams Cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 80 grams Vegan butter, melted
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 100 grams Non-dairy dark chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon Optional: Powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
Warm the almond milk in a small saucepan over low heat until lukewarm, about 37°C (98°F).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm almond milk with the yeast and sugar. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until bubbly and foamy.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt.
Add the melted vegan butter and vanilla extract to the yeast mixture. Stir to combine.
Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet mixture, stirring with a wooden spoon until a dough begins to form.
Once the dough comes together, knead it with your hands for about 5-7 minutes on a floured surface, until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough into a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and allow it to rise in a warm area for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
After the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air, then gently knead the dark chocolate chips into the dough.
Divide the dough into 10 equal pieces and roll each piece into a ball. Place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, leaving space between each bun.
Cover the buns with a kitchen towel and let them rise for another 20 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Brush the tops of the buns with maple syrup.
Bake the buns for 18-20 minutes, or until they are firm and slightly golden on top.
Allow the buns to cool slightly before serving. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar before serving for added sweetness.
