From Start to Finish: Toxic Slime Matcha Donuts
Step 1: Preheat and Prep
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease your donut pan with vegetable oil or non-stick spray to ensure easy donut removal later.
Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and matcha powder. This ensures an even distribution of the leavening agents and matcha flavor.
Step 3: Combine Wet Ingredients
In a separate bowl, mix the almond milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until well combined. These wet ingredients will keep your donuts moist and flavorful.
Step 4: Bring It All Together
Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently fold the mixture with a spatula or whisk until just combined. The batter should be smooth but avoid overmixing to keep the donuts tender.
Step 5: Fill the Donut Pan
Spoon the batter into the donut pan cavities, filling each about three-quarters full. This helps the donuts rise without spilling over.
Step 6: Bake
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the donuts spring back when lightly pressed and a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Keep an eye on them—don’t overbake or they’ll dry out.
Step 7: Cool Down
Remove the donuts from the oven and let them cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack to cool completely.
Step 8: Make the Slime Glaze
In a small bowl, whisk powdered sugar with milk until smooth. Add a few drops of green food coloring if you want that vivid toxic slime look. Adjust the consistency by adding more milk for a thinner glaze or powdered sugar for a thicker one.
Step 9: Glaze the Donuts
Dip the tops of the cooled donuts into the glaze or spread it on with a spoon. Add sprinkles immediately if you want to decorate before the glaze sets.
Step 10: Serve and Enjoy
Once the glaze is set, your Toxic Slime Matcha Donuts are ready to devour. Serve fresh for the best texture and flavor.
Better Choices & Swaps
- Flour: Substitute all-purpose flour with whole wheat pastry flour for a nuttier flavor and added fiber.
- Milk: Use oat or soy milk if almond milk isn’t available or preferred.
- Oil: Try melted coconut oil for a subtle tropical twist.
- Sweetener: Replace granulated sugar with coconut sugar for a richer caramel note.
- Glaze: Swap milk with coconut milk in the glaze for a dairy-free option.
- Coloring: If you want a natural dye, mix a little spirulina powder for green hues instead of food coloring.
Errors to Dodge
- Avoid overmixing the batter — it can make the donuts tough and dense.
- Don’t fill the donut pan too full; this can cause overflow and uneven baking.
- Baking at too low a temperature may result in dense donuts, while too high can burn the edges.
- Ensure donuts cool completely before glazing to prevent the glaze from melting off.
- Don’t skip greasing the pan or using a non-stick spray, or your donuts might stick and break apart.
Make Ahead Like a Pro
You can bake these donuts a day in advance and store them in an airtight container at room temperature. To keep them fresh, reheat briefly in the microwave or oven before glazing. Alternatively, prepare the glazed donuts and store them in the fridge for up to two days, but allow them to come to room temperature for the best texture. The glaze can be made ahead and refrigerated; just give it a quick stir before using.
Common Qs About Toxic Slime Matcha Donuts
Can I make these donuts vegan?
Absolutely! This recipe already uses plant-based milk, and the other ingredients are free from animal products. Just double-check your powdered sugar to ensure it’s vegan-friendly.
Can I use a different kind of flour?
Yes, you can substitute all-purpose flour with gluten-free blends or whole wheat pastry flour, but the texture might vary slightly. Adjust the liquid quantities if the batter feels too thick or thin.
How can I get the glaze extra glossy and slime-like?
Adding a bit more milk to thin out the glaze helps it spread smoothly and creates that shiny, slime effect. Using green food coloring intensifies the look, and applying multiple thin layers can enhance the glossy finish.
Can I bake these donuts without a donut pan?
While a donut pan is ideal for shape, you can bake the batter in a muffin tin to create donut holes or small cakes. Adjust baking time as needed, typically shorter for smaller portions.
