Baked Green Tea Donuts

I love green tea and I drink it every day at lunch. When I went to Japan a few months ago, I had a chance to taste a lot of green tea goodies. These baked green tea donuts are inspired by the one I ate in Japan. This recipe is a cake donut recipe and is healthier because it’s baked and not fried. They are best consumed on the same day. I love this donut recipe because it’s easy to make and easy to clean up. There is no need to deep fry and the ingredients are simply combined and placed in the mold. These baked green tea donuts came out great and you can taste the green tea in each bite!
