Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1.5 teaspoons matcha powder
  • 1/2 cup sugar

Wet Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup almond milk
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Glaze

  • 1/2 cup icing sugar
  • 2 tablespoons almond milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon matcha powder
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil

Instructions

  1. Prep the Oven and Pan: Heat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease your donut pan thoroughly to prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare Almond Milk Mixture: Combine almond milk with apple cider vinegar and let it sit for 5 minutes to create a buttermilk substitute.
  3. Sift Dry Ingredients: Sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and matcha powder into a bowl. Stir in the sugar.
  4. Mix Wet Ingredients: Whisk the almond milk mixture with melted coconut oil and vanilla extract until well combined.
  5. Combine Wet and Dry: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and mix gently until just combined, forming a thick batter.
  6. Fill Donut Pan: Spoon or pipe the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about 3/4 full.
  7. Bake the Donuts: Bake for 12 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the donuts comes out clean. Let them cool completely.
  8. Prepare the Glaze: In a small bowl, mix icing sugar, almond milk, matcha powder, and coconut oil until smooth and glossy.
  9. Glaze the Donuts: Dip each cooled donut into the matcha glaze, allowing excess to drip off. Add any desired toppings immediately before the glaze sets.

Notes

  • Use room temperature ingredients for even mixing.
  • Donuts are best dipped in glaze when completely cool to avoid melting the glaze.
  • Optional toppings include toasted coconut flakes, crushed nuts, or white chocolate drizzle.
  • For a stronger matcha flavor, increase the matcha powder slightly but be careful not to overpower.
  • Store glazed donuts in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
