Baked Green Tea Doughnuts

Ingredients

• 3/4 cup cake flour
• 2 Tbsp. sugar
• 1/2 tsp. baking powder
• 1/4 tsp. salt
• 1 Tbsp. green tea powder (matcha)
• 1 large egg, beaten
• 1/3 cup milk
• 2 Tbsp. unsalted butter, melted
• 1 Tbsp. honey

For the Chocolate Glaze

• 1/4 cup chocolate chips (semisweet or white)
• Sprinkles of your choice

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly coat your doughnut pan (6 wells) with cooking spray.
2. Add all the dry ingredients (flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and matcha) in a large mixing bowl and whisk to combine (you can sift dry ingredients first, but this is a short cut – just whisk for 15 seconds). 
3. Add the beaten egg, milk, melted butter and honey to the mixing bowl, and whisk until incorporated.
4. Use a pastry bag fitted with a round tip (or a large Ziploc bag with one corner snipped off) to pipe the batter into the doughnut mold. Fill each mold about ¾ full.
5. Bake donuts for 8 minutes, or until an inserted skewer comes out clean and the donuts spring back when you lightly press your finger into them. Let cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
6. To make the chocolate glaze, melt the chocolate in a double boiler.
7. Dip the cooled donuts into the melted chocolate and top with sprinkles of your choice. Doughnuts are best eaten day made.
8. Yields 6 doughnuts.
