{Small Batch} Mango Streusel Muffins
Cinnamon-y muffins with chopped mangoes and with superb streusel topping. Perfect with a cup of tea or coffee.
“Jhuls, where do you put all the food you put into your tummy?“
That’s the question I get to hear whenever I am eating with my friends. That doesn’t bother me, though. As the saying goes “be yourself“, so that was me – being myself. However, weeks after following the Whole30 rules, my tummy can’t handle much. I can’t finish meals that I thought I can. I am not complaining. I am happy that I eat lesser now. And that is the reason why I am learning how to cook and bake small batches, hoping that I won’t regret it later on. Hmm, if I do, I could do another batch. 😀
These muffins originally used peaches, but I prefer mangoes over peaches whenever a recipe calls for peaches. I used the recipe of Sally, but as I said – I used mangoes. I ‘marinated’ the mangoes with lemon, cinnamon and sugar to make sure that the mangoes are sweet enough when they are mixed with the batter. The result was amazing – the crumb topping was super crisp, the muffin was really soft. You could taste the sweet mangoes inside and that cinnamon-y flavor – oh wow! It was like muffins with a mango filling. I could make these over and over again.
I am taking these lovely muffins at Fiesta Friday #176 where me and the talented Monika are co-hosting! Yay! Thank you, Angie, for bringing us all together.

Small Batch Mango Streusel Muffins
- Difficulty: easy
Ingredients:
For the crumb topping:
- 34g packed light brown sugar
- 1 tbsp white sugar
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 42g all purpose flour
For the muffins:
- 110g all purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp salt
- pinch of nutmeg
- 58g unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
- 50g light brown sugar
- 25g white sugar
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- 60g yogurt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 23ml milk
- 1 cup mangoes, cubed* (please see optional instruction below)
For the glaze:
- 1 cup (120g) confectioners’ sugar
- 3 Tablespoons (45ml) heavy cream (or milk for a less creamy texture)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
For the crumb topping:
- In a bowl, mix all crumb topping ingredients. Set aside.
Preheat the oven to 375F. Spray muffin pan with non-stick spray. Set aside.
For the muffins:
*Optional: Since I want to make sure that the mangoes are sweet enough when they get inside the muffins, I ‘marinate’ them with 1 1/2 tbsp sugar, 1 tbsp cornstarch, 1/2 tbsp lemon juice and pinch of cinnamon. So this came like a mango pie filling inside the muffins.
- In a bowl, mix flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. Set aside.
- In another bowl, add brown sugar and softened butter. Beat until fluffy (about 3 minutes). Add egg, yogurt, milk and vanilla. Beat for 1 minute or until well combined. Add this mixture to the dry ingredients and mix until incorporated. Add mangoes.
- Divide the batter into your muffin pan until 2/3 full. (You may get 6-8 muffins. I got 7.)
- Top each with the crumb topping, pressing them lightly to the batter.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes or until toothpick in the middle comes out clean.
- Remove the muffins from the oven and leave in the muffin pan for 5 minutes and transfer to a cooling rack or serving plate.
For the glaze:
- In a small bowl, combine all ingredients for the glaze and mix until smooth. Pour over warm muffins.

Oh yummy! I love mangos and I love muffins with a streusal topping. I would definitely want to make a larger batch though as I know they’d be popular! Thank you so much for sharing with #CookOnceEatTwice
Jhuls
Oh, they will be, that’s for sure! Thanks, Corina.

Jhuls, These muffins look so delicious! I love the combination of mangos with cinnamon and nutmeg, perfect!
Jhuls
Thanks, Arl! It was a good idea to marinate the mangoes, too!

I am sold! Mangos for me next time! We have to wait, usually, for the to ripen after we bring them home…so sad!
Jhuls
I do the same sometimes! I saved mangoes especially for this one. 😀 Thanks, Mollie!

These muffins sound wonderful! I like your idea of ‘marinating’ the mangoes. That must have tasted soooo good!
Jhuls
It was insanely good! I am planning to make them again this weekend!☺️ Thanks for stopping by!

These look really delicious and nice and moist. I have not baked with mango before, what a great idea! I bet the fruit is delicious with the spices. Fiesta Friday #
Jhuls
These muffins were gone in no time. What should I expect? I made a small batch!😬 Thanks for stopping by!
Kathryn Grace
Your photographs are beautiful! And oh wow, cinnamon and nutmeg in the filling, and streusal topping over mango muffins? Scrumptious. It’s rare I can get mangoes all the way from chopped to a recipe. We tend to eat them standing up at the kitchen work table, but I always try to buy enough to have for salads and baking.
Jhuls
I did my best to save some mangoes for this one! I was strong enough to do so😂 Thanks for stopping by!

We get lots of mangos in Mexico so I’ve book marked this easy recipe. Thanks for hosting Jhuls. I’m slowly moving from whatsfordinnerdoc.com to my new site http://www.mybajakitchen.com
Moving is no fun and it’s lonely,
Tracey
Jhuls
I will visit you there, Tracey! Oh I think I did! I will visit again, if that’s the case!😘 Thanks for stopping by!
Jenny
I love all the recipes from Sally, which is a problem. I don’t want to gain that much weight… I am sure this one is great, too.
Now I am curious, what is this 30 rule? Sorry if this is a silly question.
Jhuls
Hmm, I wish I could explain to you everything, but here’s what I can say: Whole30 is a clean-eating program discarding any sugar (even alternative sweeteners), bad carbs, beans and legumes, dairy, etc… You can Google Whole30 program to know more about it.😉
Monika
These muffins look SO good! It’s a good idea to make a small batch too, I’d want to have more than one or two if I made lots:) Regarding FF, do you have a preference as to what numbers you want to comment on?
Jhuls
I would love to comment on everyone, but I might take a break for the night and resume tomorrow. Thanks, Monika.😘
CakePants
Ooh, these muffins look delightful! I’ve actually never baked with mangos before, but I bet the flavor is incredible – sometimes peaches can lose a bit of flavor in the baking process, so I can definitely see why you prefer mangos. Yum!
Jhuls
The ‘marinating’ of mangoes made them perfect for the muffins! Thanks, Mara!
