14 Matcha Dessert Recipes That Will INSTANTLY Put You Into Spring Mode
Anything that gives us a reason to get *completely* decked out in green is a good thing in our book. Around this time of year, we’re inspired by budding plants, newly green grass, edible flowers recipes, and basically anything else that’s symbolic of spring. Case in point? Greenery-hued recipes that showcase the color green! These 14 matcha desserts are the perfect palette for your spring food inspo, and — BONUS — they contain TONS of nutrients and antioxidants.
1. Matcha Donut Heaven: Sure, matcha is a healthy ingredient and a bonafide superfood. But that doesn’t mean you can’t use it in donuts. In fact, we highly recommend it.
2. Tea in a Cone: This whipped matcha creaminess is lightly sweet and totally flavorful. Put it in a waffle cone, OR try dipping your cone in chocolate and sprinkling it with — you guessed it — matcha powder.

9. Matcha Paczki: This is hardly a traditional Polish pastry, but it sure looks like Paczki to us. That is, it’s a fried ball of dough with a sweet cream sauce inside. Whatever you call it, this stuff is DELISH.
