Winter Muffin Recipe Tips
You can make many different kinds of muffins to enjoy in the winter, including my mixed berry muffins or gluten-free cranberry muffins. Citrus muffins are delicious during the winter, too.
These healthy mango muffins with pineapple and coconut come together very quickly. Cool the melted coconut oil before adding it to the other ingredients so it doesn’t re-solidify.
Feel free to substitute other fruit for the pineapple or mango depending what you have on hand. A mashed banana is a delicious substitute for either one of these fruits.

Annemarie,
I need a tropical vacation today! I guess we’ll have to move back to Hawaii . . .
I used to get mangoes from a tree overhanging the parking lot at my daughter’s preschool in Pearl Harbor.
Thanks for the mini-memory vacation!
What a great memory, Kirsten! I’d give just about anything to have a mango tree nearby.
Yum! These look great! And, yes, we all could use a little tropical treat during winter! 🙂
Thanks, Jill! I really need treats like these to get through the chilly days.
