The photos for this post have been updated from when it was originally posted in May 2013 to represent how darn delicious these Mango Coconut Crumble Muffins are. I left the post as written when it was first published a few years back for nostalgia’s sake. Hope you enjoy this old favorite of mine – it’s perfect for summer! :)

I was a weird little kid. Not saying I’m exactly normal now, but when I was really little, I thought I was already old and wise. I would say the most ridiculous insightful things that my parents would always say I was an old soul because there was no way a four year old would say things like I did.These Mango Coconut Crumble Muffins are tender and full of tropical flavor!

I was ridiculously picky and my main food groups consisted of bread and dessert (mainly chocolate based), but there were a couple fruits and veggies I loved. Not one to be a traditional kid, my favorites were pomegranates, artichokes, edamame, and mangos.

Every meal I ate as a kid ended with food all over my face, and of course all my favorite fruits and veggies are messy to eat as well. I would make such a mess eating them and I’d inevitably end up with food all over my face. My mom didn’t just give me the easy-to-eat versions of these things, either.

I would eat artichoke leaves dipped in oil and lemon (which always got all over me), edamame was always eaten out of the pod, and mangos were always slurped out of their skin, leaving sticky mango juice all over my face.

While these days I now love all the other fruits and veggies out there, I still love eating all of my original favorites too (always the messy way).

A vegan, whole wheat, and refined sugar free muffin none the less!

These muffins use a banana to replace the egg, something that totally seems like it wouldn’t work but actually does, really well! The only fat used is coconut oil, which helps keep the muffins light and fluffy, and gives just the slightest hint of coconut to the batter. The batter mixes up very thick, which is perfect for suspending the mango chucks and coconut shreds to allow for a chunk of mango in every bite.

It makes the crumble even more coconutty, in the best possible way.

If you’re not a mango fan, I’m sure these would be great with any other fruit you wanted to try. Pineapple would be great in keeping with the tropical theme, but raspberries, strawberries, or anything else would be delicious too. Enjoy!

Mango Coconut Crumble Muffins

  • Author: Rachel Conners
  • Prep Time: 15 minutes
  • Cook Time: 20 minutes
  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 12 muffins 1x
  • Category: Breakfast

Ingredients

Scale

For the muffins

  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup white whole wheat flour
  • ¾ cup coconut sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ⅓ cup coconut oil
  • 1 large banana (mashed (about ⅓ cup))
  • ½ cup non-dairy milk (I used almond-coconut)
  • 1 cup diced fresh mango (about 1 large mango peeled, cored, and diced into chunks)
  • ¼ cup unsweetened (shredded coconut)

For the crumb topping

  • ¼ cup coconut sugar
  • ⅓ cup white whole wheat flour
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened (shredded coconut)
  • 3 tablespoons solid coconut oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375ºF. Grease muffin cups or line with muffin liners.
  2. Combine flours, coconut sugar, salt and baking powder. Add in milk, banana, and coconut oil and stir until just moistened. Fold in mango and coconut. Divide batter (it will be thick) between 12 muffin tins. They should be filled about ¾ full.
  3. Stir together the coconut sugar, flour, and coconut for the crumb topping. With a fork, blend in the coconut oil until the mixture is crumbly and the coconut oil is in pea sized pieces. Divide crumble evenly on top of the muffins.
  4. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes in the preheated oven, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
