Vegan Pain au Chocolat (Chocolate Croissants)

After sharing my vegan croissant recipe a year ago, I had to complete the set with pain au chocolat! 😍

Of course, it’s the exact same dough, so that wouldn’t have been very exciting… But over time, I realized that the method I originally shared for my croissants isn’t always the one I use! My first recipe was spread over 2 to 3 days, with small steps each day and long resting times in the fridge—great if you work and want to make progress little by little. It also helps develop the dough’s flavor through slow fermentation.

But you don’t have to take three days to make croissants and pain au chocolat! So this time, I’m sharing my same-day method, perfect for a day off! And it’s perfect for enjoying fresh pastries the next morning or even the same afternoon! 🥐✨
