Good things come in small packages—even when it comes to dessert. These mango muffins may be mini, but they’re big on flavor, studded with chunks of fresh fruit and naturally sweetened with pure vanilla and stevia instead of sugar. Using almond flour makes them safe for a gluten-free diet, and the addition of psyllium husk adds in just a little bit of extra fiber for a healthier baked treat.
