This can be a mango muffin recipe that really tastes of mango – rarer than you would possibly suppose! With two massive mangoes, mango puree flavours the batter and retains the muffin moist, then numerous chopped mango is stirred in. It domes tall, has a crunchy high and wonderful trace of coconut flavour.

Mango muffins

Each mango muffin I’ve tried previously barely style of mango, and that features my very own makes an attempt. You may’t simply stir chopped mango right into a fundamental muffin combination, and one mango isn’t sufficient for 12 muffins – that’s hardly any mango per muffin!!!

So this 12 months, I set my sights on lastly nailing down a recipe. With mango puree within the batter and chopped mango stirred in, you will want two BIG ripe mangoes for these muffins. You really want a mixture of each puree and mango items as a result of there’s solely a lot puree the batter can take earlier than it turns into unhealthy pudding-like mush (1 cup was the restrict), and there’s solely a lot chopped mango you may add earlier than the muffin begins falling aside (2 cups was the restrict).

They dome up fantastically, have a crunchy high, and the within is comfortable, with (yup, you guessed it) GREAT MANGO FLAVOUR!! I additionally added coconut flavour into this. As a result of coconut plus mango simply works. 🙂

Substances in mango muffins

First, let’s discuss mangoes!

Mangoes for muffins

These muffins will solely be pretty much as good because the mangoes you utilize. We would like candy and juicy, as a result of the sweetness and moistness of the muffins depends on ripe mangoes.

My favorite is honey gold mangoes (image above) – richest, sweetest flavour – although R2E2’s are a detailed second (the large ones!). Kensington pides and palmer are a little bit tangier and Keitt’s have a little bit milder mango flavour. Calypso brings up the rear – they at all times look the prettiest at grocery shops however they’ve the least mango flavour. (PS I’m in Australia, these are our most typical mango varieties).

Frozen mango may also be used. I’ve included instructions within the recipe.

Muffin components

And right here’s what you want for the batter.

Plain flour (all-purpose flour) – Not self elevating flour which already has baking powder in-built. Typically talking, muffins and muffins don’t rise as properly and the crumb isn’t as comfortable. Higher so as to add your personal rising agent.
Baking soda (bi-carbonate) – Talking of which, that is what we use to make the muffin rise! Baking soda is ~3x stronger than baking powder and I discover it really works higher for these muffins as a result of the batter is a little bit thicker than ordinary so it wants a little bit of an additional increase to rise properly.
Vinegar – Acidity that offers the baking soda a kick begin on the rising! You may’t style it in any respect, it’s simply to activate the baking soda. Both vinegar or one thing else with acidity in it (like yogurt or bitter cream) is pretty normal in most of my baking recipes that use baking soda.
Coconut oil – That is the fats I exploit as a result of it has coconut flavour. Use unrefined coconut oil which has the coconut flavour. Unrefined is coconut oil with the coconut flavour eliminated.

Coconut oil is saved within the pantry and has a scoop-able consistency like butter. To make use of, simply soften for 20 seconds within the microwave.

Unrefined coconut oil — See components photograph above for the way it seems to be when melted (clear liquid)

Desiccated coconut – That is additionally referred to as finely shredded coconut in some nations. To not be confused with flakes / shavings that are bigger. You’ll want to use unsweetened, not sweetened.
Sugar – I exploit white sugar right here. I don’t suggest brown sugar as a result of the crumb will get a little bit too comfortable and damp. The muffin makes use of 3/4 cup (150 g) of sugar which works out at 1 tablespoon per muffin, so it’s not too candy. I initially used 1/2 cup of sugar (100 g) however personally felt the muffin was not fairly candy sufficient. Nevertheless, be at liberty to make use of the lessor quantity in the event you desire!
Egg – Use one giant egg, 55-60g / 2 oz within the shell. Egg is what holds the crumb of muffins collectively, however the extra you utilize, the drier a cake will probably be. I used to be battling a dry crumb for this cake due to the impact of together with the mango puree (moist puree = extra flour required = drier crumb). Ultimately, reducing again to only one egg turned out to be the answer!
Vanilla – For flavour.
Salt – Only a pinch, to deliver out the opposite flavours. Commonplace baking follow as of late!

The right way to make mango muffins

The batter making half is as easy as some other muffin – dump and blend, no electrical beaters required. Probably the most time will go into chopping the mango. Which I by no means actually contemplate a chore given how a lot mango-snacking will get achieved throughout the course of!

Reducing mango FOR THESE MUFFINS

Use the scrappy bits for the puree, and hold the good giant cheek items for dicing.

Cheeks first – Stand the mango upright on the broader aspect (ie the aspect that was hooked up to the tree). Minimize the cheek of the mango off all sides of the seed, aiming to depart as little flesh as potential on the seed.
Scoop out – Then utilizing a big spoon or scooper (the sharper the sting, the simpler it’s), scoop the flesh out of the pores and skin. Scrape out any extra flesh from the pores and skin – ultimate to make use of for pureeing!

Take away pores and skin off seed – Minimize the pores and skin off the flesh remaining on the seed.
Flesh off seed – Then minimize the flesh from across the seed.

For puree – We want 1 cup of mango puree to combine into the batter. That is 260 grams of mango flesh, or 1 1/3 cups of mango chopped into small cubes. I measure by weight, and I exploit the scrappy bits for the puree and hold the cheeks to cut trigger it’s simpler!
Blitz – Then puree the mango utilizing a stick blender, or a small meals processor. You would possibly wrestle with a big meals processor, not sufficient mango.

For chopping – We additionally want 2 cups of chopped mango to stir into the batter. You may both chop then measure out 2 cups, or you may weigh the mango then chop (that is what I do) – you’ll want 370 grams.
Chopping the mango – Take a cheek and slice it in half horizontally. Then, holding the 2 items stacked, minimize right into a grid.

If the mango items are too giant then it could make the muffin disintegrate. So chop them pretty small, round 1 cm / 1/3″ or so.

Making the muffins

Mango chopping achieved, this half is tremendous straightforward!

Spray muffin tin – Spray a 12 gap muffin tin with canola oil, or grease nicely with butter. I don’t use muffin liners for these muffins as a result of I discover you lose an excessive amount of muffin if you peel the paper off!
Dry – Whisk the Dry components in a bowl (flour, baking soda and salt).
Moist – Then whisk the moist components in a separate bowl (mango puree, sugar, egg, coconut oil, vanilla).
Mix – Pour the Dry into the Moist components. Use a rubber spatula to combine till the flour is usually blended in however you may nonetheless see bits of flour.

Add-ins – Then add the chopped mango and coconut. Combine simply till you may not see flour.

ℹ️ This batter is thicker than typical muffin batters as a result of the muffin will get a number of moisture from the mangoes as they bake. Early variations I made with a looser batter resulted in unpleasantly moist muffins!
Fill and sprinkle – Divide the batter between the holes. It could mound up barely above the outlet as a result of the batter is thicker than regular so it gained’t spill over when it bakes. Sprinkle with the demerara sugar. Full protection and the extra beneficiant the higher, for a crunchier high!
Bake – Put the muffins into the oven preheated to 220°C/425°F (200°C fan-forced). Then instantly flip the oven DOWN to 200°C/390°F (180°C fan). Then bake for twenty-four minutes, or till the highest is golden and crisp, and a skewer inserted into the center comes out clear.

ℹ️ The preliminary excessive warmth offers the muffins a kick begin to rise, however then decreasing the warmth barely permits them to prepare dinner by evenly.Early variations baked for the entire time on the larger temperature have been too dry on the surface, although I liked that the highest was additional golden and crispy!
Cool for 10 minutes within the muffin tin. Then switch to a cooling rack and funky for a minimum of one other 10 minutes earlier than grabbing one!

Baking Mango muffins — These muffins have a fantastic dome!

So there you could have it. Lastly made a mango muffins recipe I used to be proud of! It was surprisingly harder than I anticipated. I actually thought it could be as straightforward as switching the apple in my Apple Muffins with mango.

Nevertheless it appears not. Not if you would like muffins with precise mango flavour!

I hope you like these as a lot as I do. – Nagi x
