Ingredients
For the matcha doughnuts:
- 1 ¼ cups whole wheat pastry flour or all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup coconut sugar or another granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon ceremonial grade matcha powder
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup unflavored soy or almond milk
- ¼ cup coconut oil liquid state
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
For the almond glaze:
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon unflavored soy or almond milk
- ½ teaspoon almond extract
For topping:
- ¼ cup finely chopped almonds
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly oil a 6 cavity doughnut pan.
- In a medium mixing bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, matcha, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl or liquid measuring cup, stir together the milk, coconut oil, and vanilla. Add the milk mixture to the flour mixture and stir just until fully mixed and a thick batter forms.
- Pipe or spoon the batter into the doughnut cavities. Place the pan into the oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until the tops spring back when lightly touched.
- Remove the pan from the oven and transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
- While the doughnuts cool, stir the glaze ingredients together in a small bowl, adding a bit more milk if the mixture needs thinning, or a bit more powdered sugar if it needs thickening.
- When the doughnuts are cool, remove them from the pan and dip the top of each one into the glaze, then sprinkle with almonds. Transfer to a plate and allow to rest until the glaze sets.
- Serve.
