Ingredients

2 large mango, ripe but firm
½ cup sweetened shredded coconut, refer notes for substitution
½ cup chopped nuts (cashews / almonds / pistachios or a mixed combination)
¼ cup old fashioned oats
¼ cup honey
2 tablespoons melted coconut oil
¼ teaspoon salt

To serve (optional)

vanilla ice cream
Greek yogurt sweetened with honey
Whipped cream

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Have a rectangular baking pan ready.
Cut mangoes. Mangos have an oblong pit in the center. Your goal is to cut along the sides of the pit into two halves, separating the flesh from the pit.
Hold the mango with one hand, stand it on its end, stem side down. With a sharp knife in your other hand, cut from the top of the mango, down one side of the pit (refer video). Then repeat with the other side. You will end up with three pieces --> two halves and a middle section that includes the pit.
Pro tip: Choose large, firm with flatter sides. This way they’ll sit upright in the baking dish without wobbling around.
Using a sharp knife, gently score mangoes in a criss cross pattern about ¾th way into the flesh (without cutting through the skin). Place in the baking pan.
Tip: The scoring helps the honey seep into the mango when baked and also forms a bed for the streusel to stay in place.
In a small bowl, combine shredded coconut, chopped nuts, oats, honey, melted coconut oil and salt, until well mixed. Divide mixture evenly over the mango halves ( Press lightly for the mixture to stay intact).
Place baking pan in the middle rack of the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, until the topping is deep golden in color.
Serve hot with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, whipped cream or sweetened greek yogurt.

Notes

Mango – Select sweet, ripe but firm fruits. Avoid fruits that is soft, bruised or with any black spots.

Oats – Use rolled oats or quick cooking.

Nuts - Use any nuts you have on hand. I used a combination of cashews and pistachios. Sliced almonds will also taste amazing!

Coconut - Sweetened shredded coconut is dried coconut soaked in a sugar based solution which makes it chewy and moist. If you are using unsweetened coconut, then add a teaspoon of sugar or more honey.
