Mango Maple Muffins

These Mango Maple Muffins are an inspiration provided by my brother-in-law, Chris. He came to spend this Christmas with us. It was our first Christmas entirely at home, and it was more than wonderful to spend it with him.

Chris lives in London. And because he lives in London, we hardly ever see each other. We spent the entire holiday playing games (don’t get me started on the 3-day debate on whether it’s Rummi-cub or Rummi-CUBE.. for the record, I’m in the Rummi-Cube camp), eating chocolate and good food, and catching up. Pure heaven.

We also spent a few days in New York City. One of the first things we did when hitting the city? Curry, of course. Chris had a mango lassi with his lunch, and spent the rest of the day theorizing that there’s just not enough mango in the world. There should be far more mango flavored things, he says.

Chris also happens to love maple syrup. I guess it’s not that common in the U.K., so it’s a real treat for him when he has it.

My only regret about these delicious muffins is that I didn’t manage to make them before Chris went home. Chris tries to be a pretty healthy guy, watching what he eats 99% of the time. I think he’ll approve of these.

These muffins are a perfect breakfast for throughout January and all your hard work to make those resolutions a reality. They’re filling, only slightly sweet, and have chunks of fresh juicy mango throughout.

Mango would also lend itself to my fruit and cream muffins recipe, if you’re looking for something a bit more indulgent.

Just made the muffins and they were good! My husband took some to work w/him to share. I subbed vanilla bean paste for the extract because I love the teeny tiny seeds - so cute.
