Instructions
Spray a 6-donut pan with cooking spray and preheat the oven to 375F.
Combine flour, brown sugar, baking powder, spices, and salt in a mixing bowl. Separately, whisk together the ¼ cup chai, vegetable oil, vanilla, and egg (or just dump it into the dry ingredients by accident, as I did with my second batch), then add to the dry ingredients. Mix to combine.
Spoon batter into prepared donut pan and bake for 10 minutes, until donuts are springy. A toothpick inserted into one will come out clean.
Let the donuts cool for a few minutes, then carefully run a toothpick along the edge of each donut to loosen them. I usually use the toothpick to gently pry the donut up and out of the pan.
Stir together the powdered sugar and 1 tablespoon chai to create a glaze, adding a little more tea if you like yours thinner. Use a spoon to drizzle the glaze on the donuts.
