Description

These chocolate buns are an absolute delight, especially when they come warm from the oven! I like to bake them on the weekend for a hearty breakfast or as a sweet snack in between. The preparation is very simple and the Thermomix® takes a lot of work off your hands. The chocolate chips make the buns nice and juicy and chocolatey. If you like, you can add some cinnamon to the dough. They are perfect for small and large chocolate fans and can also be frozen well.

About this recipe

Chocolate buns are a childhood memory for me. My grandma always baked them when we visited her on the weekends. The smell of fresh pastries and chocolate that wafted through the house is unforgettable. This recipe is my interpretation of her version, adapted to the modern kitchen technology of the Thermomix®. The ingredients are deliberately kept simple, but each plays an important role. The milk and butter ensure the juiciness and the soft dough. The yeast is of course essential to let the dough rise and give it the fluffy consistency. The flour forms the basic structure, while the sugar contributes the sweetness. A pinch of salt should not be missing to enhance the flavors. The egg provides binding and a beautiful golden brown color. And of course the chocolate chips! They are the heart of these buns and make them a chocolatey treat. The Thermomix® makes preparation really easy. Warming milk and butter is perfect without burning anything. It also reliably takes over the kneading of the dough. It is important that the milk does not get too hot, otherwise the yeast will die. The temperature of 37°C is ideal. When kneading, make sure that the dough is not too dry. If necessary, you can add some milk. After kneading, it is important to let the dough rest in a warm place. This allows the yeast to do its work and the dough rises nicely. For a vegan version, you can replace cow's milk with plant milk (e.g. soy or almond milk) and butter with vegan margarine. The egg can be replaced with an egg substitute or applesauce. With the chocolate chips you should make sure that they are vegan. If you like it a little spicier, you can add half a teaspoon of cinnamon or cardamom to the dough. Nuts, such as chopped hazelnuts or almonds, also go perfectly with the chocolate buns. The chocolate buns taste best when they come warm from the oven. A glass of cold milk or a hot cocoa goes well with it. But they are also a delicious snack for in between or a sweet end to a meal. You can also spread them with jam or Nutella. The chocolate buns can be stored well. It is best to keep them in an airtight container, so they stay fresh longer. They can also be frozen. To do this, put the cooled buns in freezer bags and freeze. To thaw, simply thaw at room temperature or bake briefly in the oven. You can also prepare the dough the day before and let it rise in the refrigerator overnight. The next day, form the buns and bake. So you have fresh chocolate buns in the morning without much effort.
