Ingredients
1.5cups ( 180 gms)All-purpose flour
1.5tspBaking powder
1/4tspBaking soda
1/8tspSalt
1.5tspMatcha powder
1/2cup (115 gms)Sugar
3/4cup (150 gms)Almond milk
1tbspApple cider vinegarYou can use white vinegar too
1/4cup ( 45 gms)Coconut oilYou can use any neutral flavored oil
1tspVanilla extract
Matcha Glaze
1/2cup ( 50 gms)Icing sugar
2tbspAlmond milk
1/4-1/2tspMatcha powder
1tspCoconut oilYou can use any neutral flavored oil
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 180 C. Grease the cavities of a donut pan well.
Combine the almond milk and vinegar in a small bowl. Set aside for 5 minutes.
Sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and matcha powder in a large bowl.
Stir in the sugar.
Whisk all the liquid ingredients - almond milk mixture, coconut oil, and vanilla extract in another bowl.
Pour over the dry ingredients and mix until combined. The batter will be thick.
Spoon or pipe the batter into the prepared pan, filling a little over 3/4 of the way.
Bake at 180C for 10-12 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let the donuts rest for 5 minutes in the pan before turning them out on a cooling rack.
For the topping, dunk half the donut in the matcha glaze. Let the excess drip back into the bowl and place on a rack to set.
As soon as you place the glazed donut on the rack, add whatever toppings you like. I used freeze-dried strawberries. This glaze sets very fast, so the toppings have to be placed immediately.
Drizzle with some plain glaze if you wish.
Serve and enjoy!
Matcha Glaze
Combine all the ingredients - icing sugar, almond milk, matcha powder, and coconut oil in a small bowl and whisk well to get a smooth, thick, lump-free mixture. Add more icing sugar if the mixture isn't thick enough. Add more milk if it's too thick.
