Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup ripe mango puree (about 2 medium mangoes)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup milk (or non-dairy milk)
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
- For the Passion Fruit Glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2–3 tablespoons passion fruit juice (fresh or bottled)
- Zest of 1 passion fruit or orange (optional)
Instructions
- Peel and chop mangoes, then blend into a smooth puree; set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, and mango puree. Mix well.
- Add eggs, vanilla extract, and milk; whisk until smooth and creamy.
- In a separate bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
- Fold dry ingredients into wet mixture gently; do not overmix. Batter should be slightly lumpy.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line or grease muffin tin.
- Fill muffin cups two-thirds full with batter. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- While baking, whisk powdered sugar and passion fruit juice until smooth. Add zest if using.
- Cool muffins slightly, then drizzle or spread passion fruit glaze on top. Let set before serving.
Notes
- Use a 1:1 gluten-free baking blend to make gluten-free muffins.
- Replace milk with almond or oat milk for a dairy-free option.
- Substitute eggs with flaxseed eggs (1 tbsp ground flaxseed + 2.5 tbsp water per egg) for egg-free muffins.
- Use coconut sugar or stevia for a lower-sugar version.
- Add nuts, coconut flakes, or chocolate chips for flavor variations.
