banana mango muffins

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

Print this recipe!

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.

    “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!

  • Lauren @ Healthy Food For Living

    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).

    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!

    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! 🙂

    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

    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!
