Instructions
1. Make the muffin batter
Preheat the oven to 180 °C, top and bottom heat. Place paper liners in a muffin tray.
In a large bowl, mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Add the mango puree, milk, oil, vinegar, and vanilla extract. Gently mix until the batter is just smooth. Do not stir more than necessary.
Divide the batter into the muffin liners, about ⅔ full.
2. Bake the muffins
Bake in the middle of the oven at 180 °C for about 20 minutes.
Check with a toothpick. The muffins are done when the toothpick comes out clean. A few moist crumbs are perfectly fine.
Let the muffins sit in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Cool completely before frosting.
3. Make the cream cheese frosting
In a bowl, combine the powdered sugar, cream cheese, butter, and cornstarch. Whisk until you have a smooth and creamy frosting.
Chill the frosting in the refrigerator while the muffins cool.
4. Decorate
Once the muffins are completely cooled, pipe or spread the cream cheese frosting on top. Feel free to decorate with small pieces of fresh mango.
Store the muffins in the refrigerator in an airtight container.
Allow the muffins to cool completely before decorating them with cream cheese frosting and possibly a little fresh mango. These moist mango muffins are great for coffee, as a dessert, or when you want to serve something a little extra special. Store them in the refrigerator if they are frosted with cream cheese frosting.
