These coconut streusel-topped vegan muffins are studded with juicy mango chunks and crunchy walnut pieces. They're perfect for weekend brunching or any day snacking.

If you love blueberry muffins, these little guys are pretty much a sure bet. Swap out blueberries for mango chunks and throw in a few extra goodies like streusel and walnuts. I kept the batter at a not-too-sweet level in a effort to let the sweetness of the mangoes shine through. Mangoes are just about my favorite fruit ever, and I think these muffins now reign as my favorite muffins ever.
It's Saturday on a holiday weekend, so I'm going to be brief today and pretty much drop you guys with a recipe. Maybe you've got some brunch plans and can put this one to good use? I hope it comes in handy. Enjoy.

I just happened to have everything to make these (except the spelt flour, so I subbed 1:1 with AP flour) and they just came out of the oven. I had to try one piping hot because they smelled heavenly! They are delicious!! I also added a pinch of cardamom to the streusel topping. The recipe seems like it would take other substitutions well, like different fruits, nutsand spices. I will be making these regularly and trying different combinations! Thanks!
