Coconut-Dusted Pistachio Donuts {MMAZ #16}

Ingredients (12 donuts)

For the Donuts

• 2 cups cake flour
• 1 cup pistachios, shelled
• 1 cup sugar, organic
• 3 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup almond milk
• 1 teaspoon coconut extract
• 8 tablespoons non-dairy margarine

For the Frosting

• 3/4 cup coconut
• 1/2 cup So Delicious non-dairy creamer
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1 tablespoon non-dairy margarine
• 2 tablespoon flour

Instructions

Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.

Throw pistachios in food processor and mix until crushed and powdered. Mix with other dry ingredients in a medium bowl (flour through salt).

Mix the wet ingredients together in a small bowl (almond milk through butter)

Combine wet & dry ingredients together in one bowl and mix until just combined.

Spray donut pan with cooking spray. Transfer batter to donut pan using small spoon or tablespoon – stopping below the top of the center piece. This will ensure that your donut still has a hole after baking.

Place pan in oven and bake for 14-16 minutes, or until donut springs back when lightly touched.

While donuts are baking, mix together all ingredients except flour in a stand mixer. Add flour a little at a time until the desired consistency is achieved.

Allow donuts to cook completely, then use butter knife to loosen the donut edges from the pan and transfer to wire rack or plate.

Holding the bottom half of the donut, dip the half into the frosting and rest on plate. Sprinkle with additional coconut flakes and serve!
