Ingredients
  

For The Eggless Pistachio Donuts

  • 2 cups (240g) all-purpose flour
  • 1½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ⅔ cup (130g) granulated sugar
  • ½ cup (60g) unsalted pistachios finely chopped
  • ¼ cup (57g) unsalted butter melted
  • 1 cup (240ml) milk
  • 2 teaspoon white vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla
  • 8-10 pistachios roughly chopped for garnishing

For The Sugar Glaze

  • 1½ cups (180g) icing sugar
  • 3 tablespoon milk
  • A pinch of salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pure vanilla

Instructions
 

Making The Batter

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease the donut pan with nonstick oil spray or with melted butter. Set aside.
  • In a medium bowl or cup, take the milk and add white vinegar. Stir well and set aside for 5 minutes.
  • Milk and white vinegar mixture is our DIY buttermilk, but if you have store-bought buttermilk, you can use that too.
  • In a large mixing bowl, take flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, sugar, and finely chopped pistachio.
  • Whisk all the dry ingredients until well combined.
  • Now add melted butter and pure vanilla into the buttermilk (a mixture of milk and vinegar). Mix well.
  • Add wet mixture into the dry ingredients and mix until well combined. Do not overmix.

Baking The Donuts

  • Fill the batter into a large piping bag; there is no need for the tip. Cut the end of the piping bag and pipe the batter into the donut pan evenly up to halfway. Do not overfill as these donuts will rise well.
  • Bake the donuts into the preheated oven for 10 minutes or until the edges are lightly brown. Do not overbake.
  • Remove from the oven and allow the donuts to cool down in the pan for 2 minutes. Then transfer the donuts onto a wire rack and let them cool completely.

Glaze The Donuts

  • In a medium bowl, whisk the icing sugar, salt, milk, and vanilla together until well combined and smooth.
  • If the glaze is very thick, add a little more milk. Or, if the glaze is too thin, add more powdered sugar.
  • When donuts are entirely cool, dip each donut into the glaze, or if the glaze is thick, you can also spread the glaze using a butter knife.
  • Return the glazed donuts onto the wire rack and sprinkle some chopped pistachio on the glaze.
  • Allow the glaze to set for 30 minutes before serving and storing the donuts.

Storing The Donuts

  • Eggless Pistachio Donuts are best served within two days. But if you have leftovers, place them in the fridge for up to 4-5 days.
  • Allow the glaze to set completely before stacking the donuts into the container.
  • Keep the donuts away from the warm place; otherwise, the icing will start melting.

Notes

  1. Pistachios: Instead of chopped pistachio, you can also use ground pistachio. I have chopped pistachios with a knife, but you can also use a food processor for fine chopping.
  2. Buttermilk: If you have store-bought buttermilk, you can use that instead of the DIY version.
  3. Filling The Pan: Using a large piping bag is an easier way to fill the batter into the donut pan. But instead of the piping bag, you can also use a Ziploc bag, fill it with the batter, cut the corner, and fill the donut pan.
  4. Do Not Overfill: Do not overfill the donut pan; fill it only up to half, as donuts will rise well.
  5. Baking: Eggless Pistachio Donuts are quick to bake; it takes only 10 minutes. So keep an eye after 8 minutes and do not overbake the donuts.
  6. Glaze: If you want your sugar glaze to be very thick and sweet, add only two tablespoon of milk. Let the sugar glaze set completely before stacking and storing the donuts.
