Instructions
-
Prepare the Donut Batter:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a donut pan.
- In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, sugar, and matcha powder.
- In a separate bowl, mix milk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined.
-
Bake the Donuts:
- Spoon or pipe the batter into the greased donut pan, filling each mold about 2/3 full.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Let donuts cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Make the Matcha Icing:
- In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, matcha powder, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Dip each cooled donut into the matcha icing, allowing the excess to drip off.
-
Decorate:
- Melt the white chocolate chips and drizzle over the donuts for a festive finishing touch.
Notes
- If you don’t have a donut pan, you can make these in muffin tins as a donut hole alternative.
- For a more intense matcha flavor, add a bit more matcha powder to the icing.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
