Ingredients
Scale
- **For the Mango Muffins:**
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup milk
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil or melted unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup ripe mango, peeled and diced into small cubes
- **For the Passion Fruit Glaze:**
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2–3 tablespoons passion fruit pulp (from 2–3 passion fruits)
Instructions
- **Prepare the Mango Muffins:**
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease thoroughly.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk the egg, milk, vegetable oil (or melted butter), and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are fine.
- Gently fold in the diced mango pieces.
- Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
- Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the muffin tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- **Prepare the Passion Fruit Glaze:**
- While the muffins are cooling, prepare the glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and passion fruit pulp until smooth and pourable. If the glaze is too thick, add a tiny bit more passion fruit pulp or water; if too thin, add a little more powdered sugar.
- **Assemble:**
- Once the muffins are completely cool, drizzle the passion fruit glaze generously over the tops of each muffin.
- Allow the glaze to set for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
Do not overmix the muffin batter; overmixing can lead to tough muffins.
Ensure your mangoes are ripe for the best flavor and sweetness.
Cool muffins completely before glazing to prevent the glaze from melting and becoming too thin.
Store leftover muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
