SO delicious!!!! I used all-purpose flour because I did not have self-raising. My Bananas were previously frozen, so I drained most of the juice but I still used a little of it. I probably used more mango because I had a bag of frozen pulp (to make smoothies). My cake came extremely moist and with great flavor. A keeper!!! Thanks!

I bought a can of pureed mangoes by mistake and had a black banana, so this recipe was a perfect fit. I halved it, and for a more tropical taste, I substituted toasted coconut and chopped dates for the raisins. And for a tender crumb, I added a couple of tablespoons of yogurt to the beaten sugar-butter-egg mixture. Good texture, good proportions, and overall a really good muffins, especially with the coconut and dates.
