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.

    I just made these, and I was expecting a little bit of a sweeter taste than how they came out. While they were cooking, my husband said, “It smells like eggs.” Once I tasted one, I don’t know if it is the power of suggestion or what, but I agree, there was an overpowering taste of egg – which I didn’t expect…especially considering the name of the muffin. They taste ok, just a little disappointed in the flavor. I think next time I might add more mango or sweetener or something…or take out an egg. Not sure what that would do to the recipe tho! I did add some macnuts to it…which are a great addition!!

    Should they have a sweet taste? Maybe I’m missing something…hmm… Thanks for the recipe tho!!

      No, these muffins are not really sweet. They are meant to be more like a higher protein type muffin, not like a regular flour bakery type muffin.

    Hi Lisa~
    I tried these today and they came out flat. I live in Denver so we definitely have the altitude issue. Do you think I need to add something to get them to look more like yours? I followed everything else to the T. Thanks!
