Method

Step-by-Step Instructions for Matcha Baked Doughnuts

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and lightly grease a 6-hole doughnut pan.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil and cane sugar until well combined and smooth.
Add the large egg and whisk until smooth. Then stir in baking powder, baking soda, matcha powder, nutmeg, sea salt, and vanilla extract.
Gradually add in all-purpose flour and almond milk, alternating until a thick batter forms.
Spoon the batter into the prepared doughnut pan, filling each cavity about three-quarters full.
Bake for 10 minutes, or until the tops are golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
Carefully remove the doughnuts from the pan and allow to cool on a wire rack.
Prepare your desired glaze or toppings while the doughnuts cool.
Once cooled, dip the doughnuts into your glaze or sprinkle powdered sugar as desired.
