Hi!
It’s Friday and I’m jetlagged and cranky.
Just kidding, I’m not really cranky! I’m just jetlagged and miss my mom’s tacos. But guess what?? I baked you muffins for breakfast! Delicious, soft fruity muffins with fresh mango puree, chewy dried mango bits, banana and coconut flakes.
If it sounds kinda like an all inclusive carbohydrate vacation, it is.
Using both mango puree and banana puree makes the muffins extremely soft and despite all that fruit, they’re not overly sweet at all. Right before baking, I sprinkled on some raw sugar for an extra crunch and was very pleased with the results!
Also, let’s face it. Everybody bakes blueberry muffins. They’re, like, so 1995. Dare to be different! Viva la mango!
Banana Mango Muffins
makes about 16 muffins
Ingredients:
1 large ripe mango, peeled and roughly chopped
1/2 cup chopped dried mango
1 ripe banana, mashed
2 1/2 cups flour
1/2 cup sugar
3/4 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 cup unsweetened dried coconut
2 eggs
1/4 cup canola oil
additional sugar for sprinkling
Directions:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Put the mango (fresh, not dried) in a blender and process until smooth. Set aside.
Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, coconut and chopped dried mango in a large bowl.
In another bowl, combine the mashed banana, mango puree, eggs and canola oil. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until smooth (batter will be thick).
Scoop batter into greased muffin tins about 3/4th of the way full. Sprinkle additional sugar on top. Bake for 25 minutes or until a toothpick in the center comes out clean.
Time:
40 minutes

I love an extra crunch on muffins! I wish they sold overripe bananas at the store. You’d think they would.
um, these kind of make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside
Yum! Even though I must admit, blueberry muffins are still my favorite.
You had me at banana
HAha, have a fantastic weekend Jenna!
I JUST made banana muffins…. but now I’m wishing I added mango!
Wow – those sound really REALLY good.
I would be all over these!
“If it sounds kinda like an all inclusive carbohydrate vacation, it is.”– LOL!!!
I love mango anything! have several recipes w/ mango including no bake vegan white chocolate chip and mango cookie dough bites.
But o.m.g….. you have just made me want to race and turn my oven on.
DELISH Jenna!
Ok, this is unbelievable. I NEVER have mangos in my house because I don’t really like them that much (well, I’m just not crazy about them), except for this week because I bought a champagne mango to try. Now I need to make these!
I wish this were on my breakfast plate right now! They look delicious
I love this idea! Mango is great in anything and I’m sure mango muffins are no exception!
I agree – there need to be more mango muffins around! Perfect for summer
is there a way to make these gluten free? I’m kind of new to cooking!!!!
I will always love blueberry muffins but banana mango sounds so delicious!
I have been involved in an ongoing love affair with mangos for about a month now, and these muffins sound fantastic! I recently made mango twice baked sweet potatoes, mango ice cream, and a mango & pineapple crisp (all to be posted on my blog next week), so clearly mangos are a favorite fruit of mine. These muffins will be made soon!
I only had to see the word Banana – and I came running. Doesn’t matter what else is in there – although I do think some chocolate-chips wouldn’t hurt – does it ever?
I have rotten bananas and mango here – who knew! Would maple syrup work for the sugar? I’m trying to use it up…(besides licking it off the spoon y’know).
last weekend i wanted to make muffings, had two ripe bananas and i began to search your site. i think i will try this recipe this weekend thanks jenna!
mangos are SO ripe right now, what a perfect springtime muffin. These must taste amazing! glad you finally made it home!
I actually chuckled out loud in my cubicle when I read blueberry muffins are so 1995, viva la mango haha! These look so summery, yum.
Banango muffins…awesome!
Now I just need a tropical vacation to eat dozens of these on the plane ride to
Holy yum! I might be making these this afternoon. They sound like they’d be perfect for the weekend
Those are so calling my name. What a pretty color – looks great!

I wish I had 1 or 2 of these for breakfast!
MMMM!! These look and sound SO good!
Those look incredible!!
Love how bright they are! They’d be awesome with some mango chutney
Perfect since I’ve been staring at 4 ugly brown bananas in my freezer. This sounds yummy. Maybe I’ll do a 1/2 batch and see if my mango allergies take effect
I am curious what muffin pan you use? Your muffins always seem to come out looking perfectly done (i.e. not too browned on the sides). I made the tiramisu cupcakes a while back and maybe I left them in too long (it wasn’t any longer than the time you listed) but they browned. Maybe it’s because I greased the tins w/ butter? Any suggestions would be great. Thanks!
I love all things mango. These look like an amazing tropical breakfast!
Yum! These scream summer.
“If it sounds kinda like an all inclusive carbohydrate vacation, it is.”
Too funny! These muffins sound delicious.
That sounds like a smoothie I used to get from Smoothie King. They look gorgeous.
This will surely kick-off my morning right and I, too, am all for carbs.
Usually, I would just have whole wheat cereals and some fruits (apples and bananas mostly) before I go do some health routine, but these muffins are awesome. I’m sure to try this soon and perhaps to battle my mondayitis tendencies. Cheers! 
Mango in muffins? Sounds delicious!
MM looks delicious! And very seasonal
If you topped them with some sort of crumble they would be superspecial I think.
wow, these muffins look sooo good! the mango reminds me of my kauai trip that i just took!
now this is creative! Nice job and I have mangos! yippee.
These look so soft and delish. I love the bright yellow!!! I will for sure make these in the future
These must be so sweet with the banana and mango in there. They sound delicious!
I have yet to try my first mango. Dare I take the plunge with these? I mean, mango + banana sure sounds tropical enough to me
mango happens to be my favorite fruit! I think I will dare to be different! Peace out blueberry muffins!
Hi! I’m commenting for the first time, and I just had to tell you how delicious these muffins are! I just made them because I happened to have mango and coconut in the apartment – thank you for the recipe.
these sound so yummy! and original! a nice spin on them might be to add applesauce instead of canola oil, to up the fruit and fresh factor
mangos are my absolute FAVE! AHHH these are EXACTLY what i needed to find today! i have fam coming into town this weekend, and what would be more perfect to have for breakfast on a Sunday morning! thanks lady!
love this! I wonder if pineapple would work, too?
These. Look. Magical. I would NEVER think of this muffin flavor combo. So glad you did! Ha! These are officially on my list to convert to an allergen-free version! Thank you
yum! I just made these and they were very good! New and different!
These muffins look so vibrant and soft! I bet they were delicious!
Mmm I wish I had one of these for my afternoon snack!
Sold. These have summer and picnic written all over them.
Yum! MUCH better than blueberry!
Oh hot daaaaarn! I loooove dried mango…..and muffins, of course! Thank you for bringing them together!
holy cow, fresh mango muffins?!! amazing. so tropical and delightful! hope you get some rest
Heidi xo
That sounds like a whole lot of sweet deliciousness….
Mango muffins?? I have never heard of such a glorious thing.
Yums in my tum!!!
Mango season just started out here!! I’ll need to try this one! Mahalo
These look spectacular! And very, very original.
Baking makes the cranky go away!
I have never seen a mango muffin, sounds to die for! Im thinking this would be good as pancakes too!!
Made these muffins last night but without the coconut – could not find UNsweetened coconut at my grocery store
They were delicious and light, a perfect compliment to the big salad I had for dinner. Thanks for sharing!
“Viva la mango!”… Haha! Thanks for that.
These look delish!
sounds sooo good!! all i need is some dried mango and im in business!
Wow those muffins look incredible. I would never think to pair banana and mango!
Oh wow. I love banana and mango and muffins, so together…well, wow. Thanks for the recipe!
Banana and mango-what a great team!
These sound amazing
Dear Jenna,
These rock. I used sweetened coconut b/c it’s all I had and it worked out fine. Last few flakes in the bag sprinkled on top. My born & raised on Oahu husband loves all things mango. Thanks for a great Sunday morning!
Just made them now and mine came out really chewy and tough. Well, not tough tough, but almost bread like… not muffiny. Not sure what I did wrong. They taste good though, just the texture’s a bit off. They’re not soft like yours. Help??
This is such a yummy recipe but instead of using mango chips I opted for white chocolate coconut chips Yum !
