Eggless Low Fat Mango Cupcakes and announcement of Spotlight : May theme

It's again that time of the year when juicy, yummy mangoes are abundantly available in the market and I have to admit, Mango is my favorite fruit. Summer is the time when all my favorite fruits are available---Honeydew melon, Watermelon, Mangoes, Litchies, Guavas, Ripe Payayas, Palm fruits, berries, cherries, plums, peaches and what no, all sorts of exotic fruits are in season. That's why in summer I feel like eating fruits only. So many yummy things you can make with these fruits like, Smoothies, Lassis, drinks, punches, fruit salad, dessert or can use them in a bake.
  I made these exotic looking Cupcakes with this season's first fresh mangoes...Cupcakes taste awesome with fresh mango flavour. I made these cupcakes with no egg and with very less fat. Super easy and guilt free bake.....

All-purpose flour : 2/3 cup
Whole wheat flour : 2/3 cup

Mango essence : 1 tsp.(optional)
