Prep time:

10 minutes prep, 10 minutes baking (+ 30 minutes resting)

Ingredients for banana-matcha donuts:

• 120 ml lukewarm water
• 100 g very ripe banana
• 200 g flour
• 40 g coconut sugar (or unrefined brown sugar)
• 30 ml olive oil
• 1 tsp active dry yeast
• Vanilla powder
• A pinch of salt

For the matcha glaze:

• 75 g icing sugar
• 1 tbsp water
• 1/2 tsp our organic ceremonial matcha

How to make banana-matcha donuts:

1. Make the dough: Mix the lukewarm water with the yeast and coconut sugar in a bowl. Let it rest for a few minutes to activate the yeast.
2. Mash the banana: Mash the banana into a purée and stir it into the mixture. Add the olive oil, flour, a pinch of salt, and a little vanilla powder.
3. Fill the moulds: Fill donut (or savarin) moulds up to 3/4 full. Rest the dough in the fridge for about 30 minutes.
4. Bake: Preheat the oven to 200°C. Bake for about 10 minutes, until golden and slightly firm to the touch.

Make the glaze:

1. Whisk everything together: In a bowl, whisk the icing sugar, water, and matcha until smooth and glossy.
2. Dip the donuts: Once the donuts have cooled, dip them into the matcha glaze and let them set for a few minutes before enjoying.

Tip:

For an even smoother, more intense matcha flavour, use our bamboo matcha whisk (chasen) to blend the matcha into the glaze—this helps distribute the flavour evenly in every bite.

Nutritional notes:

These donuts are naturally rich in fibre thanks to banana and bring antioxidant goodness through matcha. They contain less refined sugar than classic donuts, while staying soft and satisfying.

When to enjoy them?

Perfect for an afternoon snack, a light dessert, or even post-workout when you want a little energy—without giving up the pleasure.

Which diets does this fit?

This recipe is great for a vegan diet when you keep the ingredients plant-based (and if you want to tweak the glaze, you can also use a plant-based option). It can also work for lower-sugar lifestyles if you reduce the amount of icing sugar in the glaze.

Enjoy!
