Muffins are exponentially more awesome if…
1) Streusel topped.
2) Jumbo sized.
3) Super chunky.
4) Contain the worlds best fruit (a.k.a. mango).
5) Made to the tune of Do You Know The Muffin Man.
Number 1 could be taken care of with some oats and maple syrup. Number 2 could be taken care of if someone would buy me the jumbo muffin pan that’s been on my wishlist for forever! These muffins are all about numbers 3 and 4. And number 5…well just watch the video 🙂

What would you add to my characteristics of awesome muffins list?
I saw your recipe first on YouTube and now I have that song stuck in my head 😉 Those sound so simple, delicious and cheerful (well, I don’t know if food can sound cheerful, but I hope you know what I mean!) – haven’t had mango in too long!
It’s a bit on the annoying side, but too perfect not to use as background music 🙂 Food can certainly be cheerful! I think sprinkles are the epitome of cheerful! But mango muffins are a close second 😉 I haven’t had much luck finding super good fresh mangoes lately, but the frozen stuff always comes through for me!
We’re thinking alike, Natalie! My next post is a muffin one too….although my littlest one would probably prefer yours because she is a mango addict!!
Great snacking minds think alike 😉 lol I can’t wait to see your muffin recipe, muffins are a perfect breakfast, snack, anytime sort of thing!
hey damn the muffins dnt come well.

Awww I’m so sorry, that’s a bummer 🙁 If you give me more details on what was wrong with them I might be able to help you troubleshoot!
another awesome muffin feature is the super crispy, sugary top with the inside still super fluffy 🙂 mango and ginger sounds like such a delicious combo! i’m going to try this recipe this weekend!
Oooh yes, that sounds wonderful just reading it!! It definitely deserves a spot on the list! The flavor combo came to be mostly just because I had a lot of frozen mango to use up haha, but it is a great pairing <3 I'd love to hear how your muffins turn out, so let me know if you make them 🙂
update- made them this morning and they are delicious!

Yay!!! I’m so glad you liked them! And I really appreciate you updating me on your muffin-making adventures, it make me so happy to hear from you 🙂 Have a lovely day!
Hehe, I could imagine you twirling around your kitchen making muffins and and singing to the tune of “Do You Know The Muffin Man” 😉 Classic <3
Hehe! Wouldn’t that have been a great last scene of the video 😉
so now you’ve combined the two best fruits in the world!! mangoes and bananas and my fave spice cinnamon! I like the idea of mango chunks! and that song hahaha how do you even come up with these things funny!
I’m glad we see eye to eye on the best fruits thing (for snacking that is, you know I’m all about the dates for baking with!). And the best spice thing too. I almost didn’t put the song because it’s so gosh darn annoying, but it was just too perfect! Glad it made you laugh 😀
Wow these look amazing! And you’re sooo on point. I’ve been seriously feeling muffins recently, this looks awesome.
Thanks Medha! And I’m glad I could ready your muffin-craving mind 🙂
I love the big chunks of mango in there! Mango is awesome!!! And ginger too! 😀 What a great combination.
I love the giant chunks too!!! Maybe not the most springy combo, but still delicious <3
These sound delicious and I LOVE your video too! 🙂 It’s always fun to see the recipe being made in action!! Mangoes are one of my favorite fruits as well and these muffins sound wonderful! I love that they are made with JUST oat flour!! One of my favorite flours to bake with!!
Oat flour has quickly become my favorite too since I shifted toward GF baking! It’s so cheap and easy and already a little sweet in flavor 🙂 I go through oats like a mad man since I usually grind my own, plus I love oatmeal! Thanks Ceara 🙂
Mango and ginger is not something I’ve tried combining yet, but sounds absolutely delicious and these are the darn cutest little muffins!
Really? With all the new flavor combos you’ve introduced me too with your awesome recipes I’m surprised you’ve never tried this due before! Well it’s a great pair, I think you will like it 🙂
i made these last night and we love them! Will definitely be making them many more times. Thanks so much!
Yay!! I am so happy to hear it! They are definitely a staple in my life, so I’m glad you’re enjoying them too 🙂
maybe I did something wrong, but I definitely think a thickener is needed, like quick-cooking tapioca or something. I did make my own oat flour from rolled oats though. the dough never seemed to solidify for me. Also I’d let the mango chunks thaw a bit. I cooked it a full 30 minutes. still tasty but just needed something extra or I missed something 🙂

Hi Andrea! So sorry the muffins didn’t work out. I find the banana to be enough of a binder/thickener, and have never had that issue. I make my own oat flour as well, so that’s not the problem. A tablespoon of tapioca starch wouldn’t hurt if you want to give that a try. And perhaps not letting the mango thaw would be better. If it thaws and produces too much moisture that could be a problem. Hope that helps!
Thank you!! I’m kind of new to this. I never really baked pre vegan, (was more of a cook than a baker) but these seemed too yummy to pass up. My husband’s not complaining so I will give it another go for sure! Thanks for sharing your recipes!!!
I made these this morning and wow they come together so quick. I used frozen cherries and added some broken up walnuts. This recipe is so light and airy and supper yum. I’ve already had 3 —shhh dont tell anyone. I’ll be making these often. Thanks Natalie.

Four is my usual serving size with muffins lol! They are so good <3 I'm glad you customized them and are enjoying them, thanks for taking the time to leave feedback here 🙂
these are good! i admit i cut the sugar down to 1/3 cup but they are still sweet enough for us. I noticed you didn’t use papers but straight into the muffin pan and i might try that next time as (like all fat free muffins) they do stick to the paper somewhat. Thanks for a great recipe and i will be reading your blog more! (Tho i think i SHOULD be looking for low carb, not high!!)
I’m glad you liked them, always customize to your tastes 🙂 Yes they do stick to papers. I find less so if they are totally cool or even chilled, but still a little bit of coconut oil in the pan works better!
Hey Natalie this recipie is amazing I was wondering if you could help me trouble shoot.
I’ve tried both frozen and nonfrozen mango chunks and both times the middle doesn’t cook but the outside does perfectly. Any idea what I might be doing wrong?
Thank you so much!
Ovens can be imprecise, my guess is you aren’t doing anything wrong it’s just the combo of variations in measuring and ovens. But to fix it, definitely stick with the frozen mango and just keep baking them until the center feels done. To check, reach into the oven and lightly press the center. It should feel just as firm as the outer parts. The lower temperature will keep the outsides from getting overdone while the insides catch up, but the whole baking time will be longer. It might take as much as 40 minutes, they will be fine. With muffins I find baking time can range quite a bit with no risk of burning. You might just end up with more deliciously crusty tops too 🙂
Oh, one other thought? What consistency is your batter usually? If it’s really runny, you may try decreasing the non-dairy milk to 1/2 cup.
I hope that helps, keep me updated!
