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 Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. Prepare the oven and donut pan: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease your donut pan thoroughly to ensure the donuts release easily after baking.
  2. Make the almond milk vinegar mixture: Combine almond milk with apple cider vinegar in a small bowl and let it sit for 5 minutes to create a vegan buttermilk substitute that will help the donuts rise and add tenderness.
  3. Sift and mix dry ingredients: Sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and matcha powder into a large mixing bowl. Then stir in the sugar until well combined.
  4. Combine wet ingredients: In another bowl, whisk the almond milk and vinegar mixture with coconut oil and vanilla extract until well blended.
  5. Mix wet and dry ingredients: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. The batter will be thick; avoid overmixing to keep the texture light.
  6. Fill the donut pan: Use a piping bag or spoon to fill the greased donut pan cavities about three-quarters full with the batter.
  7. Bake the donuts: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into a donut comes out clean.
  8. Prepare the matcha glaze: While the donuts bake, whisk together the icing sugar, almond milk, matcha powder, and coconut oil in a small bowl until smooth and glossy.
  9. Glaze the donuts: Once the donuts have cooled, dip the tops into the matcha glaze and add any desired toppings immediately before the glaze sets to ensure they stick.

Notes

  • Use a light, high-quality matcha powder for the best flavor and color.
  • Make sure not to overmix the batter to avoid dense donuts.
  • Allow donuts to cool completely before glazing to prevent the glaze from melting off.
  • Customize toppings with crushed nuts, shredded coconut, or sprinkles as desired.
  • Store leftover donuts in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
