Mango Pecan Muffins with Mango Icing

May 12, 2012

Mango Pecan Muffins with Mango Icing

These aren’t just any muffins, no these are Mother’s Day Muffins…actually they are Mango Mother’s Day Muffins.

Ok say that five times fast!

I made some muffins so that on Mother’s Day morning I know I will be waking up to a real treat!

Do you do the same thing? Do you plan out your own fun, I do.

I’ll be bringing some of these beauties to my mom as well.

*Select a mango: Do not focus on the outside color of a mango, that isn’t’ a reliable indicator of ripeness. A mango will give slightly when pressed that is how to tell if it’s ripe. (same technique as selecting a peach or avocado) Here are instructions on how to slice a mango

Ingredients
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 mango diced (about 1 cup)
  • 1/2 cup diced pecans
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 500 degrees
  2. Mix flour, sugar, salt and baking powder in large bowl.
  3. Place mango pieces into the flour mixture to coat them so they don't sink in muffin when baked.
  4. Add nuts to flour mixture.
  5. In separate bowl beat milk, butter, and eggs until fluffy.
  6. Mix wet ingredients with dry ingredients with a fork, just until blended. Do not over mix.
  7. Place 3 tablespoons in each cupcake liner. Place a whole pecan on each muffin.
  8. Reduce oven temperature to 400 degrees.
  9. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until toothpick comes out clean.
  10. *starting with a HOT oven will help the muffins rise higher.
  11. *recipe adapted from King Arthur Flour's Basic Muffins Recipe
  12. *Mango Icing:
  13. one-cup powdered sugar
  14. two-tablespoons water
  15. one-tablespoon corn syrup
  16. six-drops Loranns Mango Oil
  17. one drop egg yellow Americolor Coloring
  18. four-drops white Americolor Coloring
  19. Mix all ingredients until smooth then pipe onto cooled muffins.

Starting with the oven at a high temperature allowed the muffing to rise up nice and high.

I used Paper Chef Cupcake liners and WOW they really don’t stick at all. Very nice!

 

Some I left without icing while others….

got a fun drizzle of Mango Icing.

 

Happy Mother’s Day! I hope your day if filled with loving arms wrapped around you. 

 

*I received Mangos from Mango.org and added information from their website.

*I received Cupcake Liners from Paper Chef

All opinions are my own. I was glad to receive these products but in no way was I obligated to write about them.

    how did you know that mangoes are my favorite?! thank you so much for a such a unique cupcake recipe! and also thanks for the “how to cut a mango” i will have to look in to that because I never cut mine down the middle like that. and furthermore, thank you for the tips on how to get the ripest mango. maybe thats why it is so hard for me to choose one because I like to grab one that is mostly red and also a little soft when you press into it. if your a mommy get off the computer and go tell your kids to make more of these for you! haha!

    I want to be your neighbor. Let me know when that house next to you opens up and I’ll buy it as a vacation house. And then vacation for the rest of my life.
