Soft, sweet, moist & flavourful Healthy mango muffin with coconut crumb

Healthy mango muffins with coconut crumb

Mango muffins are moist, sweet and fresh. They have a bold mango flavour with a crunchy sweet coconut crumb. Once it’s mango season, lovers of mango get uber excited. There is such a variety to choose from depending on your location.

Their flavoursome, sweet and juicy succulent flesh is awesome. The colours range from green to yellow to orange, some a combination of the colours. The different species all have their peculiar flavours and textures.

Mangoes are used for both sweet and savoury dishes, baking, drinks, soups, salads, mousse, chutney, ice cream etc. They are delicious in salsa, Lassi, muffins etc.

To make mango muffins you have to cut the firm flesh into small chunks but to add an extra punch, squeeze out the flesh of some soft mangoes as a puree and add to your wet ingredients, yum.

I use a crumb on top of my mango muffins just for added texture, this is optional. Coconut and mango, what can be more tropical than that. You can brush the top with some lime or add lime zest to your batter. You can use store-bought desiccated coconut or grate fresh coconut and lightly toast in the oven as I did.
