Ingredients

Scale

2 cups All-Purpose Flour
2 teaspoons Baking Powder
1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
1/2 teaspoon Salt
1/2 cup Unsalted Butter, softened
3/4 cup Granulated Sugar
2 Large Eggs, room temperature
1/2 cup Plain Yogurt (full-fat Greek yogurt)
1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
1 cup Fresh or Frozen Mango, diced
1 Lime, zested
1/4 cup Flour (for topping)
2 tbsp Brown Sugar (for topping)
1 tbsp Cold Butter (for topping)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with liners or grease lightly.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together with an electric mixer on medium speed for 2-3 minutes until pale and fluffy.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then mix in the yogurt, vanilla extract, and lime zest until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold together with a rubber spatula until the flour just disappears; do not overmix.
Gently fold in the diced mango chunks.
Mix the crumble topping ingredients (1/4 cup flour, 2 tbsp brown sugar, 1 tbsp cold butter) and sprinkle over each muffin cup if desired.
Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling them about 2/3 full.
Bake for 20-25 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Ensure ingredients are at room temperature for best emulsification. Do not overmix the batter to maintain a light, airy texture. If using frozen mango, thaw and pat dry thoroughly to avoid excess moisture. For a gluten-free version, use a 1-to-1 gluten-free flour blend.
