Muffins:
- 2 cups (500 ml) all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup (125 ml) white sugar
- 1 tbsp (15 ml) baking powder
- 1/2 tsp (2.5 ml) salt
- 1 can (398 ml) mango slices or chunks, drained (save 1/4 cup juice)
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 3/4 cup almond milk (or regular milk, whatever’s in the fridge)
- 1/4 cup melted butter
Topping:
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1/2 tsp (2 ml) ground cinnamon
- 1/3 cup packed demerara brown sugar
- 1/2 cup (125 ml) all-purpose flour
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Line a muffin pan with paper liners; trust me, it makes cleanup easier.
- In a large bowl, stir together 2 cups of flour, 1/2 cup of white sugar, 1 tbsp baking powder, and 1/2 tsp salt.
- Drain the 398 ml can of mango, but don’t toss the juice; save 1/4 cup for the batter.
- Chop the mango into bite-sized pieces if it’s not already done.
- Make a well in the center of your dry mix.
- Pour in the 1/4 cup reserved mango juice, 1 beaten egg, 3/4 cup almond milk, and 1/4 cup melted butter.
- Stir just until everything’s barely combined; don’t overmix, or you’ll get tough muffins.
- Fold in all the chopped mango pieces right into the batter.
- I used to just put them on top, but mixing them in gives you mango in every bite. If you’re feeling wild, add a little extra mango. The more the yummier.
- For the topping, grab a separate bowl and mix 1/2 tsp cinnamon, 1/3 cup brown sugar, 1/2 cup flour, and 1/4 cup melted butter. It’ll be crumbly and a bit sticky; perfect.
- Scoop the batter into your muffin liners, filling them almost to the top.
- You’ll get about 11 big muffins, or 12 if you go a bit lighter.
- Sprinkle a generous spoonful of the cinnamon topping over each muffin.
- Don’t worry if it’s a little messy; you’re not aiming for perfection.
- Bake for 30–35 minutes at 375°F (190°C), or until a toothpick poked into the center comes out clean.
- Let them cool in the pan for a few minutes, then move to a rack.
- Eat warm, or save for later (if you can wait).
