Matcha Donuts
Recipe courtesy of Caitlin Shoemaker of frommybowl.com
Ingredients:
1 cup |
oats, ground into flour (quick or rolled) |
1/4 cup |
brown rice flour (sub all-puprose if not gluten free) |
3 tablespoons |
Rishi Everyday Matcha, sifted |
1/2 cup |
packed medjool dates (about 5 to 6 large) |
1/4 cup |
coconut butter, melted (on the stove or microwave) |
2 tablespoons |
ground flax OR ground chia seed + 6 tablespoons water |
1 teaspoon |
apple cider vinegar |
1 teaspoon |
vanilla extract |
1 teaspoon |
baking soda |
1 teaspoon |
baking powder |
1/2 teaspoon |
salt |
1 tablespoon |
coconut sugar (optional - this will make the donuts sweeter) |
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350F.
- In a small bowl, prepare your vegan "egg" by combining 2 tbsp of ground chia OR flax seeds with 6 tbsp water. Stir and set aside for 5 or so minutes, or until thickened.
- Pit your Medjool Dates, place them in a bowl, and cover them with hot water. Allow the dates to soak for 5-10 minutes, then drain. Once drained, process the dates in a food processor or blender with 2-3 tbsp water (if necessary) to form a date paste.
- In a large bowl, combine the Oat Flour, Brown Rice Flour, Matcha Powder, Baking Soda and Powder, Salt, and (optional) Coconut Sugar. Stir well.
- Add in the Date Paste, Chia or Flax Egg, melted Coconut Butter, Vanilla, Apple Cider Vinegar, and Plant Based Milk. Mix until an even batter is formed.
- Evenly distribute the donut batter into 8 donut molds; I used silicone donut molds so I did not have to grease my pan, but if you pan is solid you will need to spray it with a nonstick cooking spray.
- Bake at 350F for 18-20 minutes, or until an inserted toothpick comes out cleanly.
- Once cooked completely, remove the donuts from the oven and let them sit in the baking tray for 5 minutes, then remove them and let them cool completely. If desired, you can top them with frosting at this point.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
