#118 Mango Muffin Loaf

We were in the mood to make muffins, but after finding the box that I thought had enough blueberries, empty, I decided to use the fruit sitting in the   fridge next to it. Mango. Somebody told me it is one of the most delicious fruits ever, and I totally agree. My regret is that when I was living in the Philippines I never got to this point, where I would incorporate this fruit to salads, sauces and pastries. Before, mangoes were abundant, comes in baskets and costs nothing but just an effort to pick it from the low branches, or on the ground after it fell.  My Mama has several fruit mango trees, it's fruit is soo sweet, and my father has I think at least a hundred of mango trees, could be less- like 75; back then, we'd just simply slice and eat  5 to 10 mangoes after lunch. When I look at mango nowadays, I think of what dish I could make using a single mango, haha. It's quite expensive to buy too. This was a great experiment, one of the three mangoes I had on that day was put into good use, and what a joy to find a moist mango flavored muffin loaf, we love it!
