Step 1

To begin making your vegan pain au chocolat, Preheat the oven to 375F, and grease or line a baking sheet with parchment or a silicone baking mat.

Step 2

Roll out the puff pastry into a long rectangle, about 12 in x 8 in, and brush the entire surface with melted (but no longer hot) vegan butter. Slice the pastry along the short edge into 8 long strips.

Step 3

Place a piece of vegan chocolate or some chocolate chips on one end of each strip and use that end to roll up the strips. Once rolled, place them into the prepared baking sheet.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix together the non-dairy milk and maple syrup, and brush the tops of each pastry. This is optional but recommended!

Step 5

Bake the vegan chocolate croissants for about 20-25 mins, or until golden brown and then transfer the pain au chocolat to a wire cooling rack.
