Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 20 mins
Total Time: 35 mins
Cuisine: Indian
Serves: 12 muffins
Ingredients
- 1 cup mango puree
- 1 cup yogurt
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons poppy seeds
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together mango puree, yogurt, sugar, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
- In a separate bowl, sift together all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Ensure there are no lumps in the dry ingredients.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the muffins tough.
- Gently fold in the poppy seeds, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.
- Divide the batter equally among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 to 3/4 full.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Optional: Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with a light mango glaze before serving.
Tips
- Choose Ripe Mangoes: For the best flavor, use ripe, sweet mangoes to make your puree. If fresh mangoes are not available, canned mango puree can be a convenient substitute.
- Don’t Overmix: When combining the wet and dry ingredients, mix just until combined. Overmixing can lead to dense muffins, so be gentle!
- Use Room Temperature Ingredients: Make sure your yogurt and eggs (if you choose to add any) are at room temperature. This helps create a smoother batter and ensures even baking.
- Check for Doneness: Ovens can vary, so start checking your muffins a minute or two before the recommended baking time. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
- Add a Twist: For an extra flavor boost, consider adding a pinch of cardamom or a sprinkle of coconut flakes to the batter. This will enhance the tropical vibe!
- Storage: Keep any leftover muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze them for longer storage. Just pop them in the microwave for a quick warm-up!
