Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup Brown sugar (packed)
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (melted)
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.75 cup Buttermilk
• 1.5 cups Fresh mango (peeled, pitted, and diced)
• 0.75 cup Macadamia nuts (chopped)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it with nonstick cooking spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and melted butter. Whisk until well blended.

Step 4

Add the eggs, one at a time, to the sugar and butter mixture, beating well after each addition.

Step 5

Stir in the vanilla extract and buttermilk until smooth and fully incorporated.

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing, as this can make the muffins dense.

Step 7

Gently fold in the diced mango and chopped macadamia nuts until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 8

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 10

Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Serve warm or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
