Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 cup unsalted pistachios, chopped
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 0.75 cup low-fat milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup unsalted pistachios, finely ground
- 1 cup confectioners’ sugar
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a donut pan with nonstick spray.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and baking powder.
Step 3
Add in the chopped unsalted pistachios and stir to evenly distribute.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted unsalted butter, low-fat milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
Step 5
Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients using a spatula, being cautious not to overmix. The batter will be slightly thick.
Step 6
Using a piping bag or a spoon, fill the donut cavities about 3/4 full with the batter.
Step 7
Bake the donuts in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 8
Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 9
For the glaze, combine confectioners’ sugar, finely ground pistachios, and unsweetened almond milk in a small bowl. Whisk until smooth and slightly thickened.
Step 10
Once the donuts are completely cool, dip the tops into the glaze and allow any excess to drip off.
Step 11
Place the glazed donuts back on the wire rack to let the glaze set before serving.
