Ingredients
- 3 cups+2tbsp (500g) All Purpose Flour
- ¼ cup (80g) Sugar
- 2 packs Active Dry Yeast or 1 pack of fresh yeast
- ⅓ cup (80g) Vegan Butter or coconut oil, melted
- 1¼ cup (300ml) Almond Milk
- ½ tsp Cardamom Powder
- Pinch of salt
- ¾ cups (100g) Chocolate Chips Vegan
- 3 tbsp Vegan Butter Melted, for brushing on top
Instructions
- In a pot, heat almond milk and butter until the butter is melted without bringing it to a boil. Set it aside to cool a little.
- In a large mixing bowl, mix half of the milk and butter mixture with the yeast. Stir to combine and leave the yeast to begin working for a few minutes. It should begin to bubble a little.
- Next, add the rest of the milk/butter mixture and stir together. Add the sugar, cardamom, and salt and stir to combine.
- Begin mixing in the flour a little at a time. The dough should be pliant, stretchy, and not stick to your fingers, but not too dry. Knead the dough for a few minutes before adding the chocolate chips and very quickly kneading them into the dough. Don’t spend too much time on this as you don’t want the chocolate to melt.
- Dust the mixing bowl lightly with flour and place the dough in the bowl. Place a clean towel cloth on top and set the bowl in a warm spot to rest for 1 hour, or until the dough has doubled in size.
- Preheat the oven to 350F and line a baking sheet with baking paper.
- Once the dough is ready, dust a clean surface with a little flour and place the dough on it. Cut the dough into 10-12 equal chunks. Use your hands to shape the dough into buns and place them on the baking sheet leaving 1-2 inches between them. Brush melted butter on top and bake the buns in the oven for 12-15 minutes or until the buns are golden brown and baked through.
- Remove from the oven and set aside to cool.Wait at least 10 minutes before serving.Enjoy.
