Instructions

Donuts

Grease your donut pan and preheat your oven to 180°C / 355°F. Prepare the flax eggs by mixing the ingredients together. Set aside to thicken.
In a mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients and set them aside.
In a separate bowl, mix the wet ingredients.
Using a wooden spoon or spatula, slowly incorporate the wet and dry ingredients together, being careful not to overmix. Mix until evenly incorporated.
Fill a piping bag with the batter and use it to outline your donut pan, filling them about ¾ of the way full.
Bake the donuts for 11-13 minutes, until they are lightly golden. Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for 3-5 minutes, then transfer them to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Glaze

Prepare the lemon matcha glaze by mixing all glaze ingredients together in a bowl.

Create Baby Yoda Donuts

To decorate the donuts, use a toothpick or a chopstick to gently form small holes into the sides of the donuts. Dip the round side of a raw almond into the glaze, then press it into the donut hole. Repeat on the other side to create Grogu's ears.
Dip the prepared donuts with almonds into the glaze, allowing any excess glaze to drip off. Rotate the donut gently to even out the icing. Place the decorated donuts on a cooling rack to let the glaze dry.
If the icing in the bowl dries, add a couple more drops of water and stir to achieve the desired consistency.
Once the glaze is set, your Lavender Vanilla Donuts are ready to enjoy!

Notes

Storage: Store wrapped in paper in an air-tight container at room temperature for 3 days. If you plan to store them for even longer, place them in the fridge or freeze them.

Freezing: Store donuts in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze for around 4 hours until solid. Then transfer the frozen donuts to a freezer bag, label them with the date of freezing, and return them to the freezer. They keep fresh for around 3 months when frozen properly. Thaw in the fridge overnight, or on the counter.
