What's in This Mango Muffins Recipe?
Eggs. You need the muffins to hold their form while baking, and eggs provide the said structure so that the muffins will come out in one shape and not in a gooey mass.
Granulated White Sugar. Mangoes are already sweet for sure. But for added sweetness, you may consider adding granulated white sugar into the mixture. This sugar also helps in texturing the muffins to have a slightly crisper exterior texture.
Mango Juice. Mango juice will help combine the dry ingredients in this recipe. Instead of milk, why not use the very juice of the fruit flavor of this recipe, right?
Mango. The main flavor of this dish, mangoes shall never go missing from the recipe ingredients.
All-purpose Flour. This ingredient provides the structure of the muffins. Without the all-purpose flour, the muffins will not even be possible of being a success.
Baking Powder. As a leavening agent, baking powder will help the muffins to rise in volume and impart a fluffy texture to the dish.
Vegetable Oil. Make your muffins tender and moist by adding vegetable oil.
Vanilla Extract. Mangoes are zesty, vanilla extract mild and woody and sweet: the perfect combination.

Variations & Substitutions
- Feel free to swap vegetable oil with melted butter. Melted butter allows for moister and flavorful muffins.
- There are days when you may not feel like making more effort than necessary. You can easily use a store-bought mango puree instead of manually combining mango juice and mangoes. The store-bought mango puree may not give you the natural zesty sweet flavor of mangoes, but it can save you time.
- Brown sugar is a good substitute for granulated white sugar as well. With the use of brown sugar, your muffins will have more color, and the sweetness will have an almost caramel undertone flavor.
- Mango juice adds a lovely mango flavour to the muffins; however, feel free to replace it with milk if you like.
