What do you get when you cross the healthiest powder in the world with the naughtiest treat in existence? Only the best darn delight you’ve ever tried. These matcha donuts balance taste and nutrition beautifully to offer you a dessert you can actually feel good about. And if you haven’t noticed, these doughnut are green. Like, all the way through. How cool is that?!

Since this recipe calls for almond meal, it goes without saying the texture of these donuts will vary from the regular kind but that certainly doesn't mean they’ll be any less delicious. Almond meal is quite literally raw, pulverised almonds with the skins intact, so expect the final product to have a more coarse consistency.

If you can restrain yourself from immediately eating these doughy babies after glazing them (which would be a highly commendable effort in our books), an extra step would be to sprinkle some edible flowers over top for a deliciously rustic feel that’ll make your donuts look as sweet as they taste.

And for those who love tradition, we suggest pairing these treats with a steaming cup of Shroom Brew for that classic ‘coffee’ and doughnut experience.
