How to Make Tropical Fruit Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. Peel and chop 2 ripe mangoes. Puree 1 ½ cups of the chopped mango in a blender or food processor until smooth. Set aside remaining mango chunks.
  3. Mash 1 very ripe banana with a fork.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, and ¼ teaspoon salt.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together ½ cup vegetable oil, 1 cup milk, 1 large egg, and 2 tablespoons honey.
  6. Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Stir in the mango puree and mashed banana.
  7. Fold in ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional).
  8. Gently fold in the remaining chopped mango chunks.
  9. Fill each muffin cup about two-thirds full.
  10. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  11. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
