Mango-Macadamia Muffins Recipe

Makes 12 muffins

Ingredients:

  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 4 tbsp butter (1/2 stick), melted and cooled
  • 1 1/2 cups diced ripe mango
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/3 cup chopped unsalted macadamia nuts
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 1/4 cup light brown sugar
  • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 2 tbsp butter, softened

    • Instructions:

    1. Preheat oven to 400F.
    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 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.
