Sweet juicy mango chunks baked in to a hint of cinnamon flavored bread packaged in a single serve muffin is the best summertime dessert. Who am I kidding? This dessert is great anytime of the year.
Summertime in Hawai’i means mango season. If you know me you know that mangoes are key to my heart. I love mangoes, Haden mangoes to be exact. My favorite way to eat mango is ice cold straight out of the fridge.
I don’t have any mango trees in my yard, but my friends and family must really love me because I have been blessed with so many mangoes gifted to me this year. So much so that I acutally have some over ripe mangoes. Let me be the first to tell you that this does not happen very often.
