These are so easy to make and even easier to snack on. A healthier version of donuts that can be made with your favorite steeped tea. You don't even need a stand mixer.
Ingredients
  • 5 tbsp Butter
  • ⅓ Cup Sugar (I used Organic Cane Sugar by Just Us! Coffee)
  • 1 Egg
  • ¼ Cup Milk (I used Organic Milk by East Coast Organic Milk)
  • ¼ Cup Rooibos Vanilla Tea (2 tsp tea steeped in ¼ cup hot water)
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 1½ tsp Baking Powder
  • 1½ Cup All Purpose Flour
  • 35 grams White Chocolate – Grated (I used Just Us! Coffee white chocolate)
  • Dark Chocolate – Finely grated to top donuts (I used Just Us! Coffee dark chocolate)
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 325F (165C) and have a mini donut non-stick pan ready
  2. In a large bowl mix the butter and sugar together until fully combined (I use a fork to mash them together until evenly combined)
  3. Add in the egg, milk, steeped tea (liquids only) and vanilla extract and mix well.
  4. Add the baking powder, flour and grated white chocolate and stir all together until fully combined with no lumps.
  5. To make it easier transfer some of the batter into a piping bag (or a Ziploc bag with a cut corner).
  6. Pipe the batter onto your mini donut baking sheet, making sure you only fill each donut ring ½ way (this will ensure you get donuts and not weird looking mini muffins)
  7. Place into the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes
  8. After removing from the oven, immediately transfer onto a plate (or any other flat surface) and sprinkle with the finely grated dark chocolate (I grated directly above the warm donuts so it could melt a bit)
