INGREDIENTS
CHAI DONUTS
1 cup (125 g) all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
1½ teaspoons Healthy Crunch Chai Tea Latte Mix
¼ cup unsalted butter, melted & cooled
⅓ cup granulated sugar
1 large egg, room temperature
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup sour cream, room temperature
MAPLE GLAZE
1 cup powdered sugar
¼ cup pure maple syrup
1 splash milk
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 350°F and spray a donut pan with nonstick spray.
In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt and chai spice.
In a medium/large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, sugar, egg, vanilla extract and sour cream.
Stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until all flour streaks disappear.
Transfer the donut batter into a piping bag and cut off the tip so that it's about ¾ inch in diameter. Pipe the batter evenly among 6 donut wells so they're about half full.
Bake the donuts until a toothpick comes out of the thickest part clean, or when you gently press a fingertip onto the donut, it springs back up slightly (about 17 minutes).
Let the donuts cool in the pan for 10-20 minutes. When it's safe to touch, remove the donuts from the pan and let them finish cooling on a wire rack.
While the donuts cool, make the maple glaze by mixing together the powdered sugar and maple syrup. If you prefer thinner icing, add a splash of milk or extra syrup.
Dunk one side of the completely cooled donuts into a small bowl of maple glaze and let the icing dry on top of them. Top with additional chai spice for decoration and enjoy!
