I’ve fallen in love with this decadent muffin recipe. Last week we featured the Lemon Blueberry version of this recipe.

Right away I started thinking about new flavour combinations. I’m sure there are many good choices for this incredibly moist muffin with a creamy cheesecake centre. 

I love the complimentary combination of orange and mango here. The spices in Chinese five spice mix add the perfect fragrant flavour back note.

Fresh or frozen mango can be used in this recipe.

These would be the star of any Sunday Brunch. I also think they are dessert-y enough to be served as a final course at any dinner. Perhaps with a little dollop of whipped cream.

Experiment with lemon or lime in this recipe too. Seasonal citrus like clementines would be good to use for the Holidays as well.
