    Mango & Lime Muffins

    Mango & Lime Muffins

    When I was sent some of Urban Fruit's products to try out in my baking, their dried mango immediately gave me tropical vibes. Lime is one of my favourite citrus fruits to bake with, and it creates such a tasty fruity flavour when combined with the dried mango in these Mango & Lime Muffins. I also added some white chocolate on top for sweetness and it looks really pretty too. Urban Fruit make dried fruit that they gently bake at low temperatures, and they never add any extra sugars. Their products are so versatile for baking with, or you could add them to cereal or yoghurt, or eat straight from the pack as a healthy snack!

    How to make Mango & Lime Muffins

    Start by soaking the mango in boiling water, then draining it off. In a large mixing bowl, mix together the butter and sugar, then add the lime zest.

    Next whisk in the eggs, then the self raising flour. Finally, fold in the mango.

    Divide the mixture between 12 muffin cases and bake for 20 minutes. To decorate, melt white chocolate and drizzle it over the muffins. Then garnish with lime zest.

    Mango & Lime Muffins

    Tips for making the Mango & Lime Muffins:

    • To decorate the muffins with the white chocolate, I hold the muffin on it's side over the bowl of melted chocolate. Then I use a fork to gently flick and drizzle the chocolate over the top. If you prefer a neater finish, you can also use a piping bag.
    • You can also use fresh mango for this recipe.
    • The muffins can be frozen without the decoration. Wrap them well, or place in a airtight container, and freeze for up to 3 months.
