Mango and Blackberry crumble muffins have been my newest flavour combinations which has worked brilliantly, as the sweetness of the mango and the slight tartness from blackberries work so well together, then with the crumble top is just amazing.
Blackberries have great nutritious qualities like most berries they are high in dietary fiber, vitamin C and K. Did you know the blackberries with large seeds are have Omega 3 and protein.
Mangos are a large stoned fruit grown in different parts of the world, mainly tropical counties. They are high in Vitamin C and folate, my favourite kind of mangos are the Kesar mangos also known as Saffron Mangos from India, however mango season is late spring to early summer.
Muffins are so easy to make, you don’t need to get a big mixture, you can stir everything by hand. There is no need to make any icing or frosting and make for great easy treats.
