Wet Ingredients:
- 3/4 cup yogurt

Instructions
- Prepare the oven by heating to 350°F and preparing a muffin tin with liners or grease.
- Create a dry mixture by combining flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large mixing bowl.
- Whisk yogurt, oil, eggs, and vanilla in a separate container until the mixture becomes smooth and uniform.
- Merge the wet and dry ingredients carefully, using gentle folding techniques to prevent overmixing.
- Gently incorporate diced mango and lemon zest throughout the batter, ensuring even distribution.

Notes
- Choose ripe, sweet mangoes for the most intense flavor and natural sweetness in your muffins.
- Avoid overmixing the batter to keep the muffins tender and prevent a tough, dense texture.
- Customize the recipe by adding chopped nuts or a sprinkle of coconut flakes for extra crunch and depth.
- Make these muffins gluten-free by substituting all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend and ensuring all other ingredients are gluten-free.
