Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons instant yeast
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup warm milk (almond or oat milk for dairy-free)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (vegan butter for plant-based)
- 2 large eggs (flaxseed eggs can substitute)
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine flour, granulated sugar, instant yeast, and salt.
- In another bowl, whisk together warm milk, melted unsalted butter, and eggs until well combined.
- Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients and stir until a soft dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth.
- Place dough in a greased bowl, cover with a kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a muffin tin.
- Roll out the risen dough into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick. Spread softened vegan butter over the dough and sprinkle with brown sugar, chocolate chips, and cinnamon (if using).
- Roll up the dough tightly into a log and slice into equal pieces. Place each piece upright in the muffin tin.
- Bake for about 20 minutes or until golden brown. Allow to cool slightly before removing from the tin.
