What’s more indulgent than a donut? A matcha green tea donut! This is part of a matcha
green tea collaboration that I’m doing with Kawaii Sweet World. I’m making a guilt-free
healthier donut by baking it!
I’m taking 1 and 1/4 cups flour, ½ cup sugar, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon
salt, and 1/2 teaspoon matcha green tea powder and mixing it all in a bowl together.
In another bowl, I’m mixing ⅔ cup of melted coconut oil, ½ cup of milk, 1 egg, ½ tsp
of white vinegar, and ½ tsp of vanilla extract. Now, I’m pouring the wet mixture over the
dry mixture and then stirring everything until its combined. I’m being careful not to overmix
it because I don’t want to make the donut dense and tough.
Now, I’ll put the batter into a piping bag and I’ll squeeze it into my donut pan. I
bought this donut pan at a kitchen supply store and it’s perfect for this recipe.
They also have little mini ones that are super cute too! I’ll pipe each donut about ¾
of the way full and bake at 350º F for 10-12 minutes.
Have you been to Fonuts in LA? It’s one of my favorite places. Everytime I’m down
there I make sure to pick up a few before I head back home to the Bay Area. My favorite
is any of the steamed Fonuts or the Chocolate and Coconut Fonuts. So good!
I’m going to let it cool completely on cooling rack while I work on the glaze.
I’m mixing 1 1/2 cups of powdered sugar, 1 tsp of matcha green tea powder, and 2-3
tbsp of hot water. I want this glaze to have a really thick consistency. If it’s too
thin then I’ll just add in a little more powdered sugar. Then I’ll stir it up and
when the donuts are ready, I’ll dip, place it on a cooling rack, and let the excess drip
onto the baking sheet.
And there we go! Healthier donuts that you I don’t feel too guilty eating. I love the
green tea flavor and how it is subtly sweet. Don’t forget to check out Rachel’s video.
