Mango Muffin / Mango Cupcake with pulp and mango slices

Another muffin recipe that I experimented with juicy mangoes, and applauded by all. It's been a while since I actually made the muffins, just didn't find time to write it down. This recipe calls for mango lovers with plenty of mango slices and pulp.


Ingredients (Approx makes 24 muffins)

  1. Butter 1/2 cup room temp (No need to melt)
  2. Regular Sugar - 3/4 cup
  3. Egg 1
  4. Vanilla Extract - 1/2 t.spn
  5. Mango Extract - 1 t.spn (Optional)
  6. Milk or Yogurt - 3/4 Cup (Room temp)
  7. Flour - 2 cups
  8. Baking soda - 1 t.spn
  9. Baking Powder - 2 tb.spn
  10. Mango Puree - 1 Cup
  11. Mango slices - small pieces 1 cup
I used a hand mixer to prepare the batter. To prepare mango puree simply blend the mango slices in a blender until you get a smooth paste. Do not add water or milk. Ensure all ingredients are in room temperature including egg.

Sift the flour and mix in the baking powder and Baking soda. You may use a whisker to mix these dry ingredients and set aside.

Preparation:

  1. Beat the butter in the mixer for about 10 - 20 seconds
  2. Add in the sugar, beat for 2 - 3 min on medium speed
  3. Add egg, vanilla & mango extract mix for couple of minutes
  4. Add milk and mix for about a minute, followed by the mango pulp beat for 30 seconds.
  5. Finally add the flour mixture and mix well to form the muffin batter. You may add very little milk if required if you find the batter too thick, although it would not be necessary.
The big task transferring to muffin mould. Some options here. 

 - You may simply transfer the batter to muffin mould and begin baking if you do not have more mangoes
- Add all the chopped mango slices into batter mix lightly and then fill the muffin mould
- Fill the mould half way through place mango pieces and cover again with little batter. 

You may do any of the above. Preheat the oven to 180 degree Celsius and bake for 13 - 16 minutes if you are using a 6 muffin  holder/tray. If you are using 12/24 in one shot the baking time would vary slightly. 

Check your muffins after 13 minutes inserting a tooth pick in the middle and ensure it comes out clean. Else bake for additional 1 or 2 minutes depending on your oven. 

Bake them in batches if you have smaller tray like mine, do not refrigerate the batter.

I baked mine in convection microwave oven. Happy baking !! I can't wait to try this again with a different combination.
