instructions:
Β
-
Preheat oven to 350Β°F / 175Β°C. Lightly grease a 6-cavity donut pan.
-
In a large bowl, whisk together ΒΎ cup (95 g) all-purpose flour, ΒΌ cup (25β30 g) finely ground unsalted pistachios, β cup (65 g) sugar, 1 tsp baking powder, ΒΌ tsp baking soda, and ΒΌ tsp salt.
-
In a separate bowl or measuring cup, whisk β cup (80 ml) warm dairy-free milk with 3 tbsp heaping Pistakio pistachio spread until smooth and fully combined.
-
In another bowl, whisk together 1 egg (or 3 tbsp applesauce), 2 tbsp (30 g) melted butter or neutral oil, ΒΌ tsp almond extract, and the pistachio milk mixture.
-
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold until just combined. The batter should be thick but pipeable. If it feels too stiff, add 1β2 tsp more milk.
-
Spoon or pipe the batter into the donut cavities, filling each about ΒΎ full. You may be leftover with some extra batter. (you may have to manually cut the center out if they are overfilled)
-
Bake for 10β12 minutes, or until the tops spring back when lightly touched. Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
-
To make the glaze, gently melt ΒΌ cup white chocolate (in short microwave bursts or over a double boiler). Stir in 2β3 tbsp creamy Pistakio spread, a pinch of salt, and 1β2 tbsp warm dairy-free milk until smooth and pourable. Add more milk if needed. Optional: tint with green food coloring.
-
Pour the glaze over the top.
-
Sprinkle with crushed pistachios and pipe on red buttercream bows for a festive wreath look.
-
Serve and enjoy!
