A wonderful tropical flavoured muffin that is not so sweet and full of stuff that's good for you, great for sneaking fruits and veggies into your kids 
Created for RSC #8

Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in vanilla, sweet potato, butter and eggs and stir until just moistened.5
Add, fruit mixture, milk and vinegar, and coconut, and stir until ingredients are mixed well, but do not overmix.6
Scoop batter into muffins tins; filling about 3/4 full. Use paper liners or just grease well. Sprinkle with coconut if desired.7
Bake for 18-20 minutes at 325 degrees or until a tooth pick comes out clean.8
These freeze well and make a good breakfast on the go or a snack for kid's lunches.

I didn't have any mango, so I replaced them with canned pears. I also used sweet potato baby food, so there was very little preparation! Although I used unsweetened coconut, I still found the recipe overly sweet, so I will reduce the brown sugar to 1/2 cup next time. After baking for 30 minutes, it was still a tad undercooked... but my muffins were probably a little big because I only got 12. Very versatile, tasty, and moist muffin! Thanks

Ok I wanted to try one more recipe for RSC#8 and I was in the mood for muffins. So during my baking spree I tried these. I love anything with mango, never really tried too many recipes with papayas though. These were so moist and flavorful, just an incredible muffin and easy to work with. I has some sweet potatoe frozen on hand to use up also. I think this will be a very popular muffin recipe here on zaar. I loved em !!

Quite tasty and easy to make. I used a brown sugar substitute as I am diabetic and would like to substitute applesauce for the butter the next time to lower the fat content. My three year old grandson asked for seconds!!
