Two of my favourite breakfasts and snacks are croissants and pain au chocolats, they are perfect for any occasion! I was super excited to create these vegan croissants & pain au chocolats.
This recipe is super easy to follow and once the pastry is made is pretty quick too.
I used pre made pastry for this recipe but you can find our puff pastry recipe here.
When we were younger, we used to eat croissants when we went to France to visit my Grandparents. We enjoyed them in so many different ways; as sandwhiches, warmed up, cold, with cheese, just buttered. There are so many different ways to enjoy them!
Often on a long journey, even now, we still enjoy some croissants or pain au chocolats.
This recipe makes 9 pain au chocolats or 6 croissants.
To make the croissants;
Cut the pastry into large triangles.
If you want to make them chocoalte croissants you can use the chocolate spread from the pain au chocolats and spread them over the pastry.
Roll the end to the pointy end of the triangle.
Pull the ends towards you, gently, to create the traditional croissant shape.
Brush with milk and bake for 10-15 minutes or until golden and crispy.
To make the pain au chocolats;
In a small bowl, mix the butter and cocoa powder to create a soft spread.
Spread it, gently, over the whole of the pastry.
Cut the pastry into rectangles roughly 4"x2"
Place your chocolate down both smaller sides.
Roll the sides until they meet in the middle.
Turn them upside and place them on your baking tray.
Brush with milk and bake for 10-15 minutes or until golden and crispy.
