Matcha Baked Doughnuts are soft, cake-like treats infused with earthy matcha and topped with a sweet matcha glaze. Baked instead of fried, they make a light and elegant breakfast, snack, or dessert.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons matcha powder
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon matcha powder (for glaze)
  • 2 tablespoons milk (for glaze)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (for glaze)
  • White chocolate drizzle (optional)
  • Sprinkles (optional)
  • Crushed pistachios (optional)
  • Black sesame seeds (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a doughnut pan.
  2. Whisk together the flour, matcha powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and granulated sugar.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
  4. Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined.
  5. Transfer the batter to a piping bag or spoon it into the prepared doughnut pan, filling each cavity about two-thirds full.
  6. Bake for about 12 minutes, or until the doughnuts spring back lightly when touched.
  7. Cool in the pan for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
  8. Whisk together the powdered sugar, matcha powder, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  9. Dip the cooled doughnuts into the glaze and allow the excess to drip off.
  10. Add optional toppings before the glaze sets and serve.

Notes

  • Use culinary-grade matcha for the best baking results.
  • Avoid overmixing the batter to keep the doughnuts light and tender.
  • Store glazed doughnuts in an airtight container for up to 5 days in the refrigerator.
  • Freeze unglazed doughnuts for up to 2 months and glaze after thawing.
  • Warm briefly before serving for the freshest texture.
