CHOCOLATE CRUMPETS VEGAN & GLUTEN-FREE WITH SALTED CARAMEL SPREAD

Chocolate Salted Caramel Crumpets:

Ingredients:

• 100g Gluten-free Bread Flour*
• 5 tsp cocoa powder
• ¼ tsp baking powder
• ¼ tsp xanthan gum
• ¼ tsp salt
• ½ tsp fast action dried yeast
• 1 tbsp sugar (don’t use a sugar-free alternative as the yeast needs it to help the batter rise)
• 1 tbsp oil
• 250ml milk of choice, warmed
• 30g Love Cocoa sea salt dark chocolate

Method:

• In a bowl, sift in the flour, cocoa, baking powder, xanthan gum and salt.
• Add in the sugar and yeast. Mix to combine.
• Pour in the oil and start adding in the warm milk slowly while mixing. Make sure there are no lumps of flour in the batter.
• Cover with cling film and a towel. Leave to rise overnight in a warm place.
• Heat a little bit of oil in a frying pan over a low/medium heat and lightly oil crumpet rings.
• Place the crumpet rings in the pan and add about 2 tbsp of the batter into each of the rings. Cook for 10 minutes, flip and continue cooking for another 1 minute. Transfer onto a cooling rack.

For the salted caramel spread:

• 140g soft dates
• 4 tbsp almond butter (you can also use cashew butter)
• 50g Love Cocoa sea salt dark chocolate
• 65ml milk of choice

Blend all the ingredients together until smooth. 

*If you don’t have a problem with gluten, you can substitute the gluten-free flour with plain flour and leave out the xanthan gum.
