Ingredients

• 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Active dry yeast
• 1 cup Almond milk
• 0.25 cup Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1.25 cups Vegan butter
• 1 cup Dark chocolate chips (vegan)
• 0.5 cup Almonds (sliced)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar

Directions

Step 1

In a bowl, warm up the almond milk until it's lukewarm. Add the sugar and active dry yeast. Stir, then let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the yeast mixture and vanilla extract. Mix until a dough forms.

Step 3

Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place in an oiled bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

Step 4

Chill 1 cup of vegan butter in the refrigerator. Once the dough has risen, roll it into a rectangle on a floured surface. Grate or shave the cold vegan butter and distribute it over two-thirds of the dough.

Step 5

Fold the unbuttered third of the dough over the buttered part, then fold the other end over to create layers. Roll it out again into a rectangle and fold it into thirds once more. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

Step 6

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Roll the dough out into a larger rectangle and cut it into triangles.

Step 7

Sprinkle the bottom part of each triangle with vegan chocolate chips and sliced almonds, then roll them up from the widest part to the tip to form croissant shapes.

Step 8

Place the croissants on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush them with a bit of almond milk.

Step 9

Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown, then let them cool on a wire rack.

Step 10

Sprinkle with powdered sugar before serving.
