Vegan Mango Cupcakes Inquiry

[mistressmousie]

My house is overflowing with mangoes from my dad's mango tree, and I want to use them up before they go rotten. So I decided I wanted to make vegan mango cupcakes. I don't have agar, self-rising flour, or powdered egg replacer, so this is the only recipe I could find

if you can't use all the mango, freeze it.

chop the mango into bite-sized pieces, put them all into a plastic ziplock or plastic container, and freeze. you can use it in the future for smoothies or baked goods.

I'll try this out. Thank you :)

Now that I think about it, I had that before. It was really good, maybe I should make some...

If you freeze the excess, you can make gingered mango and habanero sauce later and put it over all sorts of things. It makes a tasty tofu marinade.

Er, that may be a bit too spicy for me, but a sauce does sound nice.

I made some the other day. I used about 4 champagne mangoes. I cut them up, blended them, and put them through a strainer to get 1 cup of liquid. I used another mango diced finely, it was about a little more than a quarter cup.

Recipe:
1 c mango juice
1/3 c oil
1 1/2 t vanilla
1 t vinegar
2 T cornstarch
1 1/4 c flour
3/4 c sugar
3/4 t baking soda
1/2 t baking powder
1/4 t salt
mango chunks

Combine oil, juice, vinegar, vanilla in bowl. In another, combine cornstarch, salt, flour, sugar, baking soda and powder. Mix wet into dry. Add the chunks. Bake at 350 for about 20 minutes. The oven at work cooks weird l, so you might want to check earlier. They came out almost like cornbread. Like I said, the oven is weird, so yours might come out differently.

Thanks for the recipe! I'll definitely be trying this.

....though your icon gives me the creeps >_

Let me know how the mango cupcakes turn out please. Mangoes are my favorite (2nd only to pineapple) but I would love to have lots of them!

I'll make another post when I bake them :D
