Vegan Hot Cross Chocolate Buns for a happy Easter! Plant-based, no eggs, no dairy, and using chocolate instead of raisins!

Happy Easter, friends! Though this year the holidays are a bit different, we can still celebrate with good food, right? I will admit, it is strange not being able to visit family and share the food. This year I didn’t even go ingredient-shopping to bake or cook traditional food. We’ll make do with pantry meals.
And one of the traditional Easter holiday dishes is Hot Cross Buns!
To make it plant-based, we ditched butter, milk, and eggs and replaced them with plant-based alternatives. And because we don’t like the traditional raisin filling, we replaced that with vegan chocolate chips made of dark chocolate!
These Vegan Hot Cross Chocolate Buns are absolutely delicious, and you can make them with ingredients you probably already have in your pantry! So no need to run to the store, just roll up your sleeves and start baking!
Oh, and please don’t be discouraged by the long prepping time – most of that is just waiting around for the dough to rise. We promise it’s totally worth it.
