Ingredients

• 3 cups All-purpose flour
• 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
• 1 cup Almond milk
• 0.25 cup Coconut oil
• 0.25 cup Maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.75 cup Chocolate chips (dairy-free)
• 2 tablespoons Coconut sugar

Directions

Step 1

In a small saucepan, warm the almond milk over low heat until it's lukewarm. Remove from heat and add the coconut oil, stirring until melted.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, instant yeast, and salt. Mix well.

Step 3

Add the warm almond milk mixture, maple syrup, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir until a dough begins to form.

Step 4

Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Step 5

Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a lightly greased bowl. Cover with a cloth and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

Step 6

Once the dough has risen, punch it down and transfer it back to the floured surface. Flatten the dough slightly and sprinkle the chocolate chips over it.

Step 7

Knead the chocolate chips into the dough until evenly distributed. Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces and shape each piece into a bun.

Step 8

Arrange the buns on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving some space between each bun. Cover with a cloth and let them rise again for about 30 minutes.

Step 9

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 10

Before baking, brush the tops of the buns with a little almond milk and sprinkle with coconut sugar.

Step 11

Bake the buns in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and hollow-sounding when tapped on the bottom.

Step 12

Remove the buns from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
