Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 25 mins
Total Time: 35 mins
Cuisine: Tropical
Serves: 12 muffins
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup diced mango
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup shredded coconut
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
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, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together until well blended and no lumps remain.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk, vegetable oil, and eggs until smooth and fully incorporated.
- Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the muffins tough.
- Carefully fold in the diced mango, distributing the fruit evenly throughout the batter.
- For the coconut streusel topping, mix the shredded coconut, brown sugar, and a tablespoon of flour in a small bowl.
- Fill each muffin cup about 2/3 full with the batter. Sprinkle the coconut streusel generously over the top of each muffin.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 22-25 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.
- Serve warm or at room temperature. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Tips
- Choose Ripe Mangoes: For the best flavor, use ripe mangoes that are slightly soft to the touch. This will ensure your muffins are packed with sweetness and moisture.
- Don’t Overmix: When combining wet and dry ingredients, mix just until combined. Overmixing can lead to dense muffins, so be gentle!
- Customize Your Topping: Feel free to add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the coconut streusel for an extra layer of flavor. You can also mix in some chopped nuts for added crunch.
- Check for Doneness: Ovens can vary, so start checking your muffins a minute or two before the recommended baking time. They’re done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Storage Tips: To keep your muffins fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. For longer storage, freeze them in a zip-top bag and thaw as needed.
