• Ingredients: 16
• Yields: 12 muffins
• Serves: 12

ingredients

• 1 large egg
• 1⁄2 cup sour cream
• 1⁄2 cup milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 4 tablespoons butter, melted and cooled
• 1 1⁄2 cups diced ripe mangoes
• 2 cups flour
• 1⁄2 cup sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1⁄4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1⁄4 teaspoon salt

• TOPPING

• 1⁄3 cup chopped unsalted macadamia nuts
• 1⁄4 cup flour
• 1⁄4 cup light brown sugar
• 1⁄4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons butter, softened

directions

1. PREHEAT OVEN TO 400F degrees.
2. For topping: Combine all ingredients except butter in a small bowl; mash in butter with a fork or rub in with your fingertips; chill until needed.
3. Grease a 12-cup muffin tin; be sure to lightly grease area around the muffin wells so they won't stick as they rise.
4. In a large bowl, whisk together egg, sour cream, milk, vanilla and melted butter; fold in mango.
5. In another large bowl, stir together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
6. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add mango mixture.
7. Fold together just to moisten and evenly blend; the batter will be lumpy.
8. Using a large spoon, quickly fill muffin wells with batter to the tops.
9. Crumble topping over tops and bake 25- 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into center emerges with just a few crumbs clinging to it.
10. Cool in pan 5-10 minutes; loosen muffins and tilt each on its side to cool further.
11. Serve warm or at room temperature.

These are very tasty. I loved these and so did my family and the guests who had come over. I used 3 medium-sized mangoes, 3/4 cup yogurt instead of 1/2 cup, substituted butter with margarine and used 1 tsp. baking powder instead of 1 tbsp. Additionally, I didn't use macadamia nuts as I didnt have those at home. As I like cinnamon, I used 1 1/2 tsps. of it instead of 1/4 tsp. These were the best mango muffins I ever dived into:)! Thank you!!!

These were absolutley heavenly!! We loved the delicate fruit taste and the crunchy topping on these muffins. The only thing that I changed was I used one cup of sugar instead of a half of cup in the batter because we like our muffins on the sweet side. I also baked these for about 22 minutes and they were done so I didn't let them bake the full 25 minutes. The muffins turned out perfect and I wouldn't change anything else about them.

An absolutely wonderful, moist, tender muffin! I didn't have macadamia nuts so I used chopped natural almonds instead. Will definitely make these again!

Wonderful muffins! I used three large mangoes, and substituted coconut for macadamia nuts after I realized I was out. Great with coffee, the topping adds a nice crunch and sweetness to a muffin full of mango flavor. Thanks, 1Steve, for sharing your recipe!

Good moist muffins, although I did add more cinnamon to the topping, at least 1/2 tsp. I substituted the macadamia nuts with chopped walnuts. Next time, I might try adding some coconut to the batter as well.
