Mango Muffin Recipe From Scratch

Mango Muffin Recipe : I always wanted to add mangoes in baking. This Mango muffins is one such recipe where I used fresh mango puree in the muffin batter. This recipe is egg free, butter free and sugar free and has more wheat flour proportions. Also you can

use canned mango puree or homemade preserves for this same recipe. If doing so just make sure you reduce sugar/dates in such case. Do check out the mango based baked goods link at the end of this post.

Things to remember

Generally Muffin batter is thick in texture compared to cupcake batter so keep the below points in mind

Use thick yogurt or hung yogurt
Add dates soaked water to prepare flax egg
If there is any dry flour in the muffin batter do add yogurt to bring to right consistency
However light traces of dry flour is fine

Know about ingredients

Corn Meal / Semolina

Addition of Mango puree yields a moist and dense muffins so to get good muffin texture use corn meal or semolina. Both are ingredients are generally coarse in nature. Use either one or both with total of 2 Tbsp for this recipe.

Yogurt

Yogurt is the main liquid ingredient for this mango muffin recipe which helps to rise muffins. I used homemade thick yogurt do replace it with hung or Greek yogurt and also it’s a best replacement for eggs

Flax Meal / Powder

In the beginning of this recipe experiments, I skipped flax egg and later I used it as an egg replacer along with yogurt. There was a significant texture difference before and after adding flax egg to the muffin batter so I recommend using it for this mango muffin recipe.

Flour

I used more proportion of plain wheat flour and the rest with all purpose flour for this recipe. If using all purpose flour alone then do reduce liquid content (yogurt).

Mini Chocolate Chips

The mini chocolate chips I used in the recipe were unsweetened and do chill them before adding to the muffin batter to prevent quick melting in the oven when it’s baking. Also you can use chopped chocolates instead of chips.
