Description

Baked green tea donuts infused with earthy matcha, studded with chopped pistachios and tart cranberries, finished with a festive dusting of powdered sugar—perfect for holidays or elegant tea breaks.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup almond flour
  • 2 teaspoons matcha green tea powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup coconut sugar (or brown sugar)
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 cup melted coconut oil
  • 1/2 cup almond milk (or any milk)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup chopped pistachios (plus extra for topping)
  • 1/4 cup dried cranberries (plus extra for topping)
  • Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a donut pan well.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flours, matcha powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and coconut sugar.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix eggs, melted coconut oil, almond milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Pour wet ingredients into the dry and stir until just combined. Fold in the chopped pistachios and cranberries.
  5. Spoon or pipe the batter into the prepared donut molds, filling each about 3/4 full.
  6. Sprinkle additional cranberries and pistachios on top of each donut.
  7. Bake for 14–16 minutes or until the tops spring back lightly when touched.
  8. Allow to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
  9. Dust with powdered sugar before serving, if desired.

Notes

  • Use high-quality matcha for the best flavor and color.
  • Don’t overmix the batter to ensure fluffy donuts.
  • These are best enjoyed the day they’re made but can be stored in an airtight container for 2–3 days.
