Go nuts for matcha donuts! 🍵💚🍩 These Yum Matcha™ cake donuts give a sweet finish to any balanced breakfast! The batter is 100% sugar-free, and the donuts are baked not fried, so you can enjoy less sugar and fewer calories than similar products you’ll find at the store or donut shop!
What You’ll Need (yields 6 donuts)
- ¾ cup cake flour OR ¾ cup flour + 2 tbsp. corn starch
- 1 tbsp. SweetenFX™ (for baking)
- 2 tsp. baking powder
- ¼ tsp. sea salt
- 1 Yum Matcha™ packet (any flavor — we used strawberry basil)
- 1 egg
- ⅓ cup milk
- 2 tbsp. unsalted butter
- 1 tbsp. honey
What You’ll Do
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF (~177ºC).
- Then, use a whisk to combine cake flour, SweetenFX™, baking powder, sea salt, and Yum Matcha™ in a medium-sized mixing bowl.
- Next, add egg, milk, unsalted butter, and honey. Whisk them together thoroughly until the batter is sticky and dough-like.
- Coat the donut pan with a non-stick cooking spray and funnel the batter into a pastry bag. Fill each mold about ¾ of the way with batter.
- Note: If you don’t have a pastry bag you can use a zipper bag. Cut one of the bottom corners off after you fill it with the batter and use that to fill the molds.
- After that, bake them for 10-15 min. When the donuts are close to being done, they should look lightly browned and cake-like. Insert a skewer or toothpick into one donut and pull it out. If the toothpick comes out clean, they are done.
- Let the donuts cool for 5-10 minutes on a cooling rack.
Once you smell these tasty treats, it’ll be hard for you to resist them. It’s best to eat the donuts on the same day, but they can be refrigerated if you want to save them for later.
Note: Baked donuts are spongier and more cake-like than fried donuts. Even though the texture may be different from what you’re used to, the taste is still delicious!
