Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 cups mangoes (or 1 cup fresh mango and 1 banana)
1 large egg
1/4 cup vegetable oil
3/4 cup buttermilk

1 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit & grease the muffin tins or use paper or foil liners.
Mash the mango pieces into a soft pulp; if using banana, cut into pieces, mash, and stir in with the mango.
In a small bowl, use a fork or wire whisk to mix the egg with the vegetable oil and the buttermilk until well blended.
In a large bowl, mix the baking powder, salt, sugar, and ground allspice with the flour.
Add the egg, oil, and buttermilk mixture to the flour to form a lumpy batter; do not overmix.
Stir in the vanilla extract, mashed fruit, and coconut if using then spoon the batter into muffin tins, until they are approximately 2/3 full.
Bake for 22 - 24 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean; let cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes.
