Mango Banana Muffins


Having bought a pack of mangoes at CostCo I found we were not eating them fast enough.  Thinking of banana bread, I decided to look at mango baked goods.  I came across a recipe for mango muffins.  After reading comments about the ingredients I decided to add banana to mine and decrease the baking powder and milk.  I left aside some chunks and pureed the rest of the mango with a small, really ripe banana.
Success!  They came out nice and tall, golden and yummy.  I think I may try adding cardamom next time as another person suggested.  Anna has eaten several and it is nice to be giving her some good fruits as well.  I like the moisture level and they are firm, yet soft.  A good density.  Anna enjoyed watching them in the oven at the end.  She wanted one right away, but had to blow on it to cool it down (this usually involves blowing on her finger after touching something).
We had mixed weather yesterday of rain, sleet and snow and several inches of snow overnight.  We have spent the day watching all the birds and squirrels.  Anna enjoys pointing out the birds.  She looks for them up in the trees and follows them when they go by.  She is getting to be a good little birder!
