Ube donuts
- 2 cups Trader Joe’s Ube Mochi Pancake & Waffle mix
- 1 cup milk
- 1 egg
- 2 Tbsp butter, melted
Coconut glaze
- 1 1/3 cups confectioner’s sugar (powdered sugar)
- 1/4 cup plus 1 Tbsp canned unsweetened coconut milk, plus more if needed
- Shredded coconut, for topping
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray donut pan with nonstick baking spray.
- Mix together milk, egg and melted butter until just combined.
- Stir in flour until smooth. Spoon the batter into the pan, filling about a little below 3/4 of the way full.
- Bake donuts for 15 minutes.
- Let cool for 5 minutes before removing donuts from pan.
- While the donuts continue to cool, whisk together sugar and coconut milk until smooth. Glaze should be the consistency of glue. If glaze is too thick, add more coconut milk, one teaspoon at a time.
- Dip each cooled donut halfway into the glaze, twisting gently as you life to distribute run-off, before setting on a wire cooling rack.
- Sprinkle shredded coconut to taste.
