Ingredients

For the dough

250 g strong white bread flour
50 g caster sugar
7 g fast-action dried yeast
120 ml plant milk warm
30 g vegan butter
2 tablespoon vegetable oil
150 g dark chocolate chips
1 pinch salt
1 teaspoon vanilla paste

For the glaze

1 tablespoon maple syrup
1 tablespoon plant milk

For the filling

250 ml vegan whipping cream
1 tablespoon icing sugar
2 tablespoon cocoa powder
0.5 teaspoon vanilla paste

Instructions

In a small bowl, mix yeast, lukewarm plant milk, and a teaspoon of the sugar. Let sit for 5–10 minutes until frothy.
In a large bowl, combine flour, remaining sugar, salt, and dark chocolate chips. Add the yeast mixture, vegan butter, oil, and vanilla. Mix and knead for 10 minutes by hand or 5 minutes in a mixer with a dough hook until smooth.
Cover the bowl with a tea towel and leave the dough to rise for 1 to 1.5 hours, until doubled.
Divide the dough into 6 pieces. Shape into ovals and place on a tray lined with baking paper.
Cover and let rise again for 30–40 minutes until puffy.
While they are proofing, preheat your oven to 180C / 356F / gas mark 4. Brush the buns with plant milk and bake for 18–20 minutes until golden brown.
Mix maple syrup with a tablespoon of plant milk and heat in a pan until combined. Brush over buns while still warm. Cool completely on a wire rack.
Whip vegan cream with icing sugar, cocoa powder and vanilla until stiff peaks form.
Slice each bun down the centre (but not all the way through), fill generously with whipped cream, and dust with icing sugar.
