Serves: 16
Ingredients:
- Baked apple matcha doughnuts
- 70g butter, melted
- 60ml coconut oil
- 2 eggs
- ¼ cup buttermilk, room temperature
- ¼ cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 eating apples, peeled and grated
- 160g all purpose or cake flour
- 80g finely, ground almonds
- 120g castor sugar
- 2 teaspoons Matcha green tea
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
- pinch of salt
- Chocolate and coconut ganache
- 100g 70% dark chocolate
- ⅓ cup coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil or glucose syrup
- Matcha glaze
- 1 cup icing sugar, sifted
- 2 tablespoons warm water
- 1 teaspoon Matcha green tea
Method:
- Preheat the oven to 180º C. Grease a donut pan or alternatively use a small muffin tin.
- Place the butter, coconut oil, eggs, buttermilk, milk, vanilla and apples in a blender. Whizz until the mixture is completely smooth.
- In a large bowl, sift together all the remaining dry ingredients. Add the pureed wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
- Spoon the batter into the donut ring and tap down on the counter to even out the batter. Bake for 15 minutes.
- Set aside for several minutes before turning out to cool completely on a wire rack.
- To make the ganache, place all the ingredients in a small heatproof bowl and microwave for about 45 seconds. Stir until smooth and glossy.
- Dunk the donuts into the warm ganache and place on a drip rack until the ganache is set.
- For the Matcha glaze, stir together the icing sugar, water and Matcha tea. The consistency should be like that of double thick cream.
- Dip the cooled donuts in the glaze and set aside for at least 10 minutes. Repeat the dipping a second time for even glaze coverage.
