Mango muffins are tender, citrus-y, and delicious. They are a great snack and an even better breakfast. These muffins will brighten even a rainy, dreary morning!

Muffins are such a fun breakfast. And they are a great after school snack as well. I used whole wheat flour in these muffins to give them that extra-boost of fiber and nutrition!
The mango adds a fruity sweetness so the kids won't even know they are getting some extra nutrition in there. Score one for mom! 🙂
By the way, you can make a double batch and freeze them to keep on hand for a great grab-and-go breakfast - perfect for those teenagers who just can't seem to get out of bed on time (not that we have any of those in this house!)

Just made these. Absolutely lush! No buttermilk on hand, so had to sub 1/2 c Greek yogurt and 1/2 c milk. Otherwise, no change. What a lovely bake.
