This Tropical Mango Muffins easy healthy recipe for breakfast or snacks has mango, almonds, lime, coconut, and can be made gluten-free and dairy-free. An easy almond flour muffin!
Tropical Mango Muffins, an easy gluten-free recipe for you today. I’ve been trying to come up with quick and easy breakfast recipes for the kids and I. Mornings are always so crazy around here! So I came up with this recipe for Tropical Mango Muffins that I’ve been making in big batches and freezing.
Instead of flour, they use almond flour and also have fresh mango, unsweetened coconut, honey, and lime juice. They are lower carb, gluten-free, and can also be made dairy-free. The best part is that these muffins will fill you up for hours!!
If you’re not sure about the mango, try my recipe for Almond Flour Muffins and add your own mix-ins.
Unfortunately, I didn’t take any “prep” pictures because I’ve been making these at night. Sorry! But they’re easy to put together. The recipe makes about 3 dozen for me but your yield will vary a bit depending on the size of your mini muffin pan. I have several different mini muffin pans and one is quite bigger than the others.
If you’ve never used almond flour, give it a try! I used Bob’s Red Mill Almond Meal/Flour. You can find it in most large grocery stores, health stores, and online. Instead of regular milk, I used So Delicious Unsweetened Coconut Milk. which you can also find in most large grocery stores and elsewhere.
Hope you enjoy! If you’re a big mango fan you might also like this Mango Pineapple Smoothie!

i love mango but am allergic to coconut-can i substitute anything for the coconut?
Lisa Huff says
In that case I would just try my almond flour muffin recipe and add in some chopped mango. https://snappygourmet.com/easy-almond-flour-muffins/
Lisa says
Can I substitute 1% cows milk for the coconut milk? Also, I only have sweetened coconut here, I was hoping to make this without going to the store. Will sweetened coconut make the muffins too sweet? Thanks. It looks like a great recipe and I’m sure I’ll love it.
Lisa Huff says
I haven’t tried it but think it should be ok. These aren’t super sweet muffins.
Lois says
Can you use frozen mango?
Lisa Huff says
Yes, I think defrosted chopped mango should work just fine.
