Coconut Mango and Blueberry Muffins

• 
  
• When I heard about this idea of mixing mango, coconut and blueberry, I just knew I had to try it. I did two versions using both syrup and brown sugar. Both came out well. When I used maple syrup I used a bit less milk. I don't like food very sweet so I always cut back on any sweetener. I knew these were delicious when I went to bed with a dozen freshly baked muffins sitting on my table to cool and I awoke in the morning to find six already eaten. Muffin thieves perhaps?
