This healthy matcha donut recipe is ideal for Halloween as the dense doughy centres are filled with a spooky green coloring that is perfectly spooky for the holiday. These desserts are a great alternative to candy or chocolate since they're made with wholesome ingredients that don't skimp out on sweet flavor.
These donuts are much better for you than store-bought ones beginning with the dough being baked rather than fried. The dough is also dairy-free using ingredients such as vegan buttermilk and gluten-free with the use of oat flour, coconut flour and almond meal instead of all-purpose. The dough is rendered a ghoulish green hue with the addition of powdered matcha and apple sauce. The donuts can be decorated with melted chocolate and Halloween sweets.
