Baked Mochi Donuts
These soft and chewy baked mochi donuts are made from just 7 ingredients! Tapioca flour makes them easy to shape, while coconut milk adds a rich flavor. The batter is piped into rings and baked, so you don't need to mess with splattering hot oil!
Equipment
- Piping bag and large round nozzle
Ingredients
- ¼ cup coconut milk (or any milk of your choice)
- 2 Tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 Tablespoons vegetable oil
- ¼ cup all purpose flour
- ¾ cup tapioca flour (also called tapioca starch)
- 1 Tablespoon matcha powder (use culinary grade matcha)
- 1 large egg
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a small saucepan on medium heat, gently stir the milk, sugar and vegetable oil until it is steaming but not boiling.
- Whisk in the flour until there are no clumps of dry flour remaining.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat. Use a whisk or a spatula to mix in the tapioca flour and the matcha powder.
- Crack in the egg and continue mixing until the batter is completely smooth.
- Add the batter into a piping bag with a large round nozzle, and pipe 8 blobs of batter in a circle on your prepared baking sheet for each donut. Make sure the bubbles are touching slightly, otherwise you'll just end up with little blobs of donuts, instead of connected rings.
- Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until the donuts are dry and solid on the outside. Let cool and enjoy plain. Or decorate with melted chocolate and sprinkles, glaze, or icing.
Notes
- If the dough balls aren't sticking together, just wet the sides with a little water, which will help glue them together.
- Dip your finger in cold water and gently press down on the dough bubbles to make them perfectly round and smooth.
- Allow your baked mochi donuts to cool completely, then store them at room temperature in an airtight container for a few days.
