Total Time: 55 mins
Cuisine: Vegan
Serves: 12 buns
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup coconut sugar
- 1/4 cup non-dairy milk
- 1/4 cup melted coconut oil
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 cup vegan chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder to ensure no lumps remain.
- Add coconut sugar to the dry ingredients and whisk thoroughly to combine evenly.
- In a separate bowl, mix the non-dairy milk, melted coconut oil, and maple syrup until well blended.
- Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently to create a soft, slightly sticky dough.
- Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for approximately 3-4 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Roll out the dough into a rectangular shape, approximately 1/4 inch thick, using a rolling pin.
- Sprinkle vegan chocolate chips evenly across the surface of the rolled-out dough.
- Carefully roll the dough tightly from the long edge, creating a compact log shape.
- Using a sharp knife, slice the log into 12 equal rounds.
- Place the rounds in a greased baking dish, leaving slight space between each bun.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) while allowing the buns to rest for 10 minutes.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes until the edges are golden and the center is set.
- Remove from oven and let cool for 10 minutes before serving warm.
Tips
- Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for the smoothest dough consistency.
- Use a silicone baking mat or parchment paper for easier cleanup and perfect bun release.
- For extra moisture, brush the tops with a little maple syrup before baking.
- Allow the buns to rest for 10 minutes before baking to help them rise and become fluffy.
- Store leftover buns in an airtight container and reheat gently in the oven for best texture.
- For a more intense chocolate flavor, use dark cocoa powder instead of regular cocoa.
- If the dough feels too sticky, add a little more flour; if too dry, add a splash more non-dairy milk.
