2024 Mango Season

The time has come to harvest our mango tree. This year, I was joined by my sister, great-nephew, and two dear friends, making the experience even more enjoyable. It's truly a special time of year for me as I revel in the joy of harvesting and delve into the excitement of exploring new recipes featuring these delicious fruits. 

Below, I feature a Mango Oatmeal Muffin. Whether enjoyed as a breakfast on the go, a delightful afternoon snack, or a sweet treat after dinner, the Mango Oatmeal Muffin will captivate your taste buds. Its amazing flavor and texture make it an irresistible choice for mango enthusiasts and muffin lovers alike.

Mango Oatmeal Muffins

Serves:12

Ingredients:
1.5 cups mango or frozen mango, thawed
¼ cup brown sugar
2 eggs
½ cup canola oil
1.5 cups whole wheat flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1/3 cup oats
1 tsp cinnamon
¼ tsp salt

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 375 F.

2. Whisk together two eggs, brown sugar, and oil in a medium bowl.

3. Next, add softened mango and mash with a fork to combine with wet ingredients.

4. In a separate bowl, stir all dry ingredients (flour, oats, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt).

5. Then, add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir to combine, forming a batter.

6. Fill non-stick muffin tins 2/3 full with batter.

7. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes. Use a toothpick to insert into the muffin to check doneness; if the toothpick comes out clean, they’re ready.
