White Chocolate Mango Muffins

March 16, 2015 by jessfuel 10 Comments

These bakery-style White Chocolate Mango Muffins are light and fluffy, perfect with a cup of coffee.

Bakery-Style White Chocolate Mango Muffins

With the awesome spring-like weather we’ve been having lately, I’ve been doing even more running than usual. I’ve also discovered and become obsessed with podcasts, so I look forward to going on runs so I can hear new episodes. It’s race season here in California and it seems like there are multiple races every weekend. A few weeks ago, even though I hadn’t run more than 3 miles since my half marathon in November, I was feeling inspired and signed up for two 6ish mile races! Last weekend I did the Blossom Trail 10K in Sanger, CA, and this past weekend my friend and I did the California Classic Half Marathon as a relay team.

Races

We placed 3rd for female relay out of 32 teams. While we were still high on adrenaline we started stalking half marathons coming up in the next month or so. Now that my legs are aching, I’m thinking we might just have beeen crazy. But we’ll see. πŸ˜‰

Speaking of spring, mangoes are starting to come into season and I cannot get enough. A good, ripe mango ties with perfectly ripe fall pears for my favorite fruit.

White Chocolate Mango Muffins

After the race this weekend, we stopped at a donut shop on the way home. Crazy me opted not to get anything and then all day I couldn’t stop thinking about my friend’s blueberry donut. When I got home, I wanted to bake something delicious. I had a craving for a big, soft bakery-style muffin. Not my usual healthified-type muffins. Just a big, fluffy, sugary, yummy muffin. I think after 6.5+ miles I deserved it!

I didn’t have any blueberries on hand (who doesn’t love a blueberry muffin?), but I did have a counter full of mangoes. I added white chocolate chips, too… because I just wanted ALL the carbs.

So what if these muffins are baked with butter, without a trace of whole wheat flour in site? Sometimes you just need a treat. And home baked treats are definitely the best. Plus… there’s fruit in here. Fruit is healthy.

These muffins are baked at two temperatures. I learned this two-temperature baking approach through a blogging group recently! Someone was having trouble with flat-topped cupcakes, so we searched around the interwebs to find out how to get them nice and domed. Preheating the oven to a higher temp lets the edges and top cook and puff up quickly, then lowering the temp lets the inside cook without drying out or burning. It sure did work with these beauties!

    Hey Jess, I always make jumbo muffins so how long should I bake at 425 degrees and then how long at 325 degrees? I love mango and have never seen a muffin recipe for it. Thanks.

    That’s why we torture ourselves, right? So we can eat big ole bakery style muffins. That’s why I do anyway. haha Congrats on the race, and the muffins sound like the perfect treat. As much as I love them, I’ve never baked with mangos. I need to change that!

    I give you a lot of credit for resisting the donuts at the donut shop! These, however, may be better than a donut! πŸ™‚
