Got a case of the Monday blues? Then you need something to smooth things over. How about grabbing a MUFFIN? Even better, make it a Doughnut Muffin. And even more exciting, make sure it’s a DOUGHNUT MUFFIN filled with BANANA and MANGO flavors .
This week’s featured muffin for the MUFFIN MONDAY Bakers was the Doughnut Muffin. I couldn’t resist adding an Asian-style, tropical, summery twist to it by adding bananas and mangoes. The result was light, sweet, delightful and irresistable. And once out of the oven, the tantalizing aroma of bananas just swirled all around the house. I used my jumbo muffin pans, so I got some big, gigantic muffins filled with all that mango-banana goodness. Mondays never felt this good.
So be happy it’s Monday ! Just think, it’s 4 more days till Friday !
MANGO-BANANA DOUGHNUT MUFFINS
(Adapted from tasteofhome.com)
Makes 6 Jumbo Muffins
1 and 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 and 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon banana flavoring
3/4 cup sugar
1/3 cup canola oil
1 egg, lightly beaten
3/4 cup milk
6 teaspoons mango jam
Topping : 2 Tablespoons brown sugar, 1 Tablespoon chopped peanuts, 1 Tablespoon flour, 1 Tablespoon melted butter
granulated sugar, for sprinkling
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Grease or use muffin liners to line a 6-hole jumbo muffin pan.
- In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon.
- In a small bowl, combine sugar, oil, egg and milk. Add banana flavoring. Stir into dry ingredients just until moistened.
- Fill cups half full; place 1 teaspoon jam on top. Cover jam with enough batter to fill muffin cups three-fourths full.
- Mix topping ingredients together in a small bowl and top each muffin equally.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. When muffins have cooled, sprinkle granulated sugar all over the top.
COOK’S COMMENTS : Another way to put doughnut-like fillings in muffins is to use a pastry bag that has a #1 cake decorating tip. Fill the bag with the right amount of jam or desired filling and once the muffin is baked, inject from the top.

Thanks, Reb! Nice of you to stop by.
I love the addition of Mango jam. I love streusel on just about anything. Great pairing E!
Thanks, An! So kind of you. The pairings were delish! Glad to be part of the Muffin Monday Bakers
I like the tropical twist on your muffins. And not surprised you used mango
Thanks, Caroline ! LOL, I’m not surprised you are not surprised I used mango
Woah, your muffins look amazing! Mango? Of course! And that crumble on top and sugar?! LOVE it!
Thanks Nelly! Yes, we loved the Mango & just devoured all the crumble!
Mango jam in my muffin? Yes, please! I love how it adds another layer of flavor and moistness to the muffins. Love it!
Hi Jun! Thanks for stopping by. Yes, we love our mangoes! Don’t you wish we could have them all year round?
Beautiful muffins! Mango jam? Yes please
Thanks, Yuri ! We sure do love the Mango ! And in a MUFFIN ? Please…
Awesome! A great twist on a super simple recipe. Your finish makes a great presentation, too!
Thanks, Alan ! True, this was so simple, but with all the added ingredients, was so yummy!
Oh my Elizabeth. Love the hidden Jelly doughnuts in a muffin. Mmmm
Thanks, Shulie! The filling was a find, literally!
Ooooooh. I just got weak in the knees! Banana and mango filled? Brilliant way to switch these up and how lovely for breakfast! (I would have devoured these for breakfast, anyway… ha ha). I thought about using jumbo pans, too, but given I don’t make muffins very often, I was hesitant. Next time mammoth muffins it is! These look amazing and inspire me to go big!
Thanks, Aimee! Same here, got weak in the knees making these…
Holy mango! I love mangoes but they’re so difficult to come by around here and when I do they cost a small fortune. I must get my hands on some mango jam!
Thanks, Elena ! Yes, how we love our mangoes here ! so good to bake with you this Mon.!
omg yum! i love that you added banana and mango, i definitely want to try that next time! and the topping looks great!
Thanks, Nastassia! Yes, we loved the banana/mango flavors, too. Happy Muffin Mon.!
ahhh jumbo muffins are awesome! love the asian twist
have a great monday!
Thanks, J ! Have a great Muffin Monday, too!
Love your Asian style twist with this recipe…I bet the banana/mango combo was delicious!
Thanks, Chef ! We love our mangoes & bananas so much !
I love the idea that you placed the mango jam at almost at the bottom of the muffin. It means I will eat the entire muffin including the stump. I’m like that episode of Seinfeld where they just sell muffin tops, and throw away all the stumps, Hahaha. I think you came up with a great idea Elizabeth! Your muffins look delicious.

Chef Ray, thanks for the kind comments. Filling sunk in my opinion. I followed recipe to the letter, though. Next time, will just inject filling, using a pastry bag with a #1 Decorating Tip. Still all was yummy, muffins are officially gone.
These look fabulous!! I love mango so I’m sure these were delicious.
Thanks, Kristen ! The Mango Muffins were super!
All muffins are PERFECT with a beautiful crumble! Love the mango and banana love, so beautiful to put the flavors together:-) Hugs, Terra
Thanks, Terra! Yes, the crumble on top reminded me of a fave doughnut that has the same topping,too.
those muffins look insanely delicious, the texture is so tempting and those flavors….wow!
Now if I only had a few for breakfast I would be one happy chef!
Thanks, Chef Dennis! Yes, those Mango Muffins were terrific. Appreciate your kind comments!
Alan and I agree on the streusel on everything, too!
Thanks, Annapet and Alan, too ! We all love our streusel on everything ! So happy you stopped by
You just used two of my favs, mango and banana, what more can I say. Looks like lots like too.
Hi Eleanor, yes I love my Mangoes & Bananas,too! Thanks for stopping by.
