Mango Muffins Recipe

As a play on the flavors in an Indian Mango Lassi drink, this Mango Muffins Recipe has deep mango flavor with a hint of vanilla and cardamom and a soft, tender crumb.

Mango Lassi Poppy Seed Muffins 1

One day a while ago, Mike came home with a box of mangoes. He was so excited because he found them up at a local Indian market for me because I had asked him for Indian (Alphonso) mangoes.

I asked him where the mangoes were from and he proudly exclaimed “The Indian market!” I checked the produce stickers and had to laugh when I saw that they were from Mexico.

He still gets the best husband in the world award for that though.

I first had an Alphonso mango in Kuwait last year. I’m telling you, all other mangoes pale in comparison. I have no desire to eat any other mango…ever. They are that good.

I’m ruined for other mangoes! And the problem is that I have yet to be able to find Alphonso mangoes here. I’m in withdrawal, friends. And what’s worse is I was stuck with a box of lesser mangoes to contend with.

Not that there’s anything wrong with other mangoes per se; really their only fault is that they aren’t Alphonso mangoes. And yes, I know I sound like a junkie waiting for my next hit, lol.

But anyway, I sucked it up and made muffins. Really good muffins, actually.

Mango Muffins Recipe

As a play on the flavors in a Mango Lassi, I added yogurt (which also happens to give these muffins a very tender crumb) and cardamom (which makes them smell divine). When you’re working your way through upwards of a dozen mangoes, I’d say this isn’t too shabby.

And these muffins are very easy to make! I puree the mango in with the wet ingredients. And then stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Don’t over-mix the batter, a few lumps are fine! Pour the batter into a muffin tray, bake, and enjoy.

    I made these today, but used coconut oil instead. While I prefer Ataulfo mangoes, the good ol’ red and green ones were fine this time. I also used a couple tbsp of Epicure mango lassi seasoning mix instead of the cardamom. They turned out great! Thanks for the recipe!

    In 3 months,mango season should be upon us here.i can’t wait to get Alphonse mangoes to give this recipe a go. I am sure the cardamom touch will be just perfect.

      Kareena, Thank you! :) I haven’t tried making this recipe eggless, but yes, with a little experimentation I think it would work well. You could try it with a flax egg and see how that goes. Or you could use milk instead of egg (probably 3 to 4 tablespoons). If you give the recipe a try without eggs, please let me know how it goes!

    We are going to India in March to celebrate our 35th anniversary and will definitely be on the lookout for Alphonso mangos now. I must try these after all your praising. :) The name of this and the lovely color and poppyseed tops had me at the start. Beauties!

    My husband spent 4 months in India where he had mango trees outside his apartment. He had the same thoughts you did. No other mangos compare. These look really tasty.

    Of all the lassis mango lassi is my favourite. Infact, mangoes are my favourite fruit. When you say Alphonso mangoes, I feel its all a hype because honestly we get so many varieties in India and they are all so good that I find that theres a lot of hullabaloo about the Alphonsos. They are good indeed, but not one those will make you forget the others. That’s only my opinion though :) But we concur on Mango Lassis for sure

    Now you’ve gotten me curious about Indian mangoes! I traveled throughout India many years ago, and fell in love with the food! Unfortunately since I live in LA, our mangoes are from Mexico. These muffins are not only pretty, I’ll bet they taste delicious!

    I do very much enjoy a mango lassi. Pinning this to make with my lesser mangos. (I agree with you about the Alphonso mangos. Have you tried an Ataulfo mango, which is small and super sweet — much better in my mind than the normal Tommy Atkins or other larger varieties we normally get in the U.S.)

    Oh I can totally relate to your situation! I have a list a mile long of foods that have raised the bar so high, that I am forever being disappointed with their lesser relatives :( That was lovely that you were able to make such great muffins with the mangos. They look absolutely gorgeous!

    I have to laugh, you sound just like my husband does about mangos. He is from India and is always on the hunt for Alphonso mangos. We can’t find them here in Georgia. The ones that say they are don’t taste like he remembers. He would adore your muffin recipe but I would have to hide the mangos from him before I made it.
