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

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.
