Matcha Donuts Recipe

Ingredients

For the Donuts:

• 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour

• 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar

• 2 tsp baking powder

• 1/2 tsp salt

• 1 tsp matcha powder

• 2 large eggs

• 3/4 cup (180ml) milk

• 1/4 cup (60ml) vegetable oil

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the Matcha Glaze:

• 1 cup (120g) powdered sugar

• 1–2 tsp matcha powder (adjust to taste)

• 2–3 tbsp milk

Instructions

1. Prepare the Donuts:

   • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a donut pan or line a baking tray for frying.

   • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and matcha powder.

   • In a separate bowl, mix the eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla extract.

   • Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients, stirring until just blended. Avoid overmixing.

2. Bake or Fry:

   • To Bake: Spoon the batter into the donut pan, filling each cavity about 2/3 full. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

   • To Fry: Heat oil in a deep skillet to 350°F (175°C). Pipe the batter onto parchment squares. Fry until golden, 1–2 minutes per side. Cool on a wire rack.

3. Prepare the Glaze:

   • In a bowl, whisk together powdered sugar and matcha powder. Add milk one tablespoon at a time until the glaze reaches your desired consistency.

4. Decorate:

   • Dip the tops of the donuts into the glaze and let excess drip off. Place on a wire rack to set. Optionally, sprinkle with sesame seeds or shredded coconut for extra flair.

Enjoy your delicious matcha donuts!
