This month I was assigned the blog, Cook with Sara. She is a Midwestern American blogger, who has been blogging for the past eight years, so you can imagine how much of a treasure trove her recipe index is! The very first recipe that tempted me to go ahead and I almost got to doing it was this cookie batter banana bread but then I reminded myself that last month, I did choose a cookie batter recipe and I could keep it to try for sometime later. 😀 Then I loitered around this easy melon breeze and even contemplated on these really easy sweet corn pizza, but then being the sweet tooth, I finally opted for these muffins. The name sounds very summery, right? 🙂 And why not? It has a beautiful bust of bananas, mangoes and coconut and the streusel on top just made the muffin go to another level. I have adapted her recipe to make it vegan, considering I am still on my diet and believe me, the muffins didn’t disappoint! It was really moist, mildly sweet with lovely flavors and disappeared off the pan, so much that even my banana bread hater Rasha had a couple of them in one sitting – I feel the mango really masked the banana in it. 🙂

  18. This is so perfect for breakfast instead of smoothies. But can you suggest anything to replace the banana? I’m allergic to it 🙁

    1. Rafeeda AR Author says:

      I haven’t tried that myself, but from what I read, since banana is used here for flavor and the liquid part, you can increase the quantity of mango or maybe use applesauce. It may change the texture and flavor a bit though, there is no harm in trying, right? 🙂 Thanks a lot for coming by Rimli…

  19. Yummm never tried using mangoes in baking. Are u gng back to india for your vacatiom?

    1. Rafeeda AR Author says:

      Yes, will move home next month… Thank you so much Nammi…

  20. Yum, muffins are one of my favorite breakfast options, and these look perfect. I love the fact that you veganized them, which is the type of diet I’ve been trying to follow. (Not easy when you were raised a meat-eater) I feel better health wise when I eat vegan though.

    1. Rafeeda AR Author says:

      I am on a vegan diet for medical reasons and yes, feeling much lighter than I would have felt otherwise, though would not advocate this as a total diet. Thank you so much April…

  21. I’m trying very hard to take vegan diet…… kudos to u… 🙂 This tropical sunrise muffins looks so tempting and I love its texture…. 🙂

    1. Rafeeda AR Author says:

      I would have never had this diet, had it not been for medication! 😀 Thank you so much Remya…

  22. A great breakfast for any summer morning.

    1. Rafeeda AR Author says:

      Thanks a lot Lauren…
