Fill the prepared donut pan about a third of the way with batter and bake for 15 minutes, or until the top of the donut springs back when you touch it. Remove from oven and let donuts cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack.

Matcha Vanilla Glaze

In a medium bowl, combine powdered sugar, milk, vanilla and matcha. You may need to add more milk or powdered sugar to reach your desired consistency. The thinner the consistency, the easier it is to dip donuts into the glaze.

Once the donuts have cooled completely, dip the donuts in the glaze or drizzle the glaze on top. Set the donuts on a cooling rack to let the excess glaze drip off and dry. Serve and enjoy!

 

Notes

To add an extra boost of matcha flavor, mix 1 cup of granulated sugar and 1 tablespoon of matcha in a small bowl. Sprinkle the mixture on top of the glazed donut before the glaze dries completely.
