Buttery. Tropical. Perfectly sweet and tangy. These Mango Lemon Squares are a wonderful combination of buttery shortbread and sweet mango lemon curd! This simple and stress-free recipe requires one bowl, a whisk, and less than 10 minutes to prep! They are sunshine in dessert form that will transport you to your next tropical getaway!

Mango Lemon Squares

All-purpose Flour

Sugar

Unsalted Butter (softened)

Eggs (large, room temperature)

tbsp Flour

Lemons (juiced)

Mangoes (ripe, purred)

Start by preheating your oven to 350F (325F convection bake). Line a 9&quot;x 9” baking pan with parchment paper. Set aside.

In a large bowl, use clean hands or pastry cutter to blend butter into 1/4 cup sugar and 1 1/2 cups flour until a mixture resembling wet sand forms.

Press mixture evenly into the bottom of the pan. Bake for ~20 minutes or until edges are golden brown.

Shortbread Crust

While crust is baking, whisk together eggs, sugar, and flour.

Place the flesh of 2 ripe mangoes into a food processor/blender and puree until smooth.

Once crust is baked and removed from oven, whisk mango puree and lemon juice into egg mixture. Pour over the baked crust.

Return baking pan to the oven for another ~30 minutes or until mango curd is set to a slight wobble. Allow to cool completely in baking pan.

Remove from pan, and allow to cool to room temperature. Refrigerate for 4h to overnight and then cut into squares!

Enjoy!

Sweet. Tangy. Juicy. Not your average muffin. These bakery-style Lemon Cranberry muffins are simple to make, bursting with cranberries, and are sure to brighten your day!

The BEST Lemon Cranberry Muffins

All-purpose Flour + additional 1 tbsp (to add to cranberries)

tsp Baking Powder

Vegetable/Canola Oil

Milk (I typically use 2% m.f. or higher)

Eggs (large)

Lemon Juice

lemon (optional)

Orange Juice

tsp Vanilla Extract or vanilla bean paste

Preheat oven to 425°F (400F for convection oven). Prepare a baking tray with 12 muffin cups with either paper liners or non-stick cooking spray.

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder and salt to aerate. Set aside.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil, sugar, eggs, milk, lemon juice, orange juice, vanilla extract, and lemon zest.

Pour egg mixture on top of flour mixture, stir to incorporate. Mix until just combined, be careful not to over mix or muffins may become gummy.

 In a small bowl, add 1 tbsp flour to the fresh/frozen cranberries. Stir to coat cranberries with flour. Fold cranberries into muffin mixture.  

Divide the batter into the 12 prepared muffin cups. Decorate with a few additional cranberries and coarse sugar on top.

Bake at 425°F (400F convection oven) for 8 minutes, then reduce the oven temp to 375°F(350F convection oven) and bake for another 20-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out with a few crumbs attached. I recommend 20 minutes at 375F, check the muffins - if not done, put them in for an additional 5 minutes at a time, checking after each. (note:  I used convection settings and frozen cranberries and my muffins were perfect after 27 minutes at 350F).

Cool for 5-10 minutes in muffin tins then let cool completely on wire rack.

This recipe is  ‘fantabulous!’  So refreshing and yummy..Cin

I just made these, I found the temperature on regular bake high and they were burnt too dark around the edges , they were also done alot quicker then expected.  I will lower the temps next time by 25 degrees on both.  I do have an oven thermometer and it was on temp.  That said these were delicious !!

This is my second time making these muffins. My family and friends that I share with, love these, so tasty. 
The only thing I change is that I use avocado oil instead of canola oil.

Absolutely delish! My husband ate 3 immediately.                           I accidentally put in 3 eggs instead of 2 and maybe a few more cranberries than I needed and it did not ruin the recipe, thankfully. I also used fresh squeezed lemon and orange juices. I ended up with 17 muffins. I was thinking of adding a little lemon drizzle on top to completely satisfy my wicked sweet tooth. I will make these again and again. Thank you for sharing.

Killler muffins, plus at my daughter's insistence I added semi sweet chocolate chips. I used fresh cranberries and was concerned they would take over, but now I realize why the batter itself is so sweet as it balances so nicely! This is the first time I feel compelled to leave a recipe review but it was THAT good!

These are excellent!  I reduced the sugar by a bit and doubled the recipe!!!  SO GOOD!  Thank you!
