Recipes with Dried Mango
Simple, tasty recipes with dried mango — from breakfast bowls and granola to cookies, chutney and energy bites. Tips on prep, calories and choosing Vietnamese dried mango.
Dried mango is the ultimate cheat code: bright, tangy, naturally sweet — and wildly versatile. Use it as-is for quick snacks or fold it into breakfasts, bakes and even savoury sauces. Below are easy wins you can actually make on a weekday, plus a couple of clever tips so the texture turns out right.
Quick prep tip (worth it)
For baking or saucy dishes, rehydrate chopped dried mango in hot water for 5–10 minutes, then pat dry. You’ll get softer bites and better distribution in batters (a common chef move when using dried fruit).
Breakfast & bowls
- Yoghurt or porridge topper: Chop a handful of dried mango and scatter over Greek yoghurt or hot oats with seeds and nuts.
- Granola: Bake a tray of oat–seed granola; stir in dried mango at the end so it stays chewy. Try a coconut–mango version for extra tropical vibes.
Snack ideas (no oven required)
- Energy bites: Pulse dried mango with dates, oats and nut butter; roll into balls. Great desk snack, packs easily.
- Chile–lime mango: Toss slices with chilli powder and lime for a sweet–spicy fix (use unsweetened mango if you prefer it less sugary).
- Trail mix: Mix dried mango strips with roasted nuts, pumpkin seeds and dark chocolate chunks.
Baking: cookies, bars & quick loaves
- Oatmeal mango cookies: Dried mango plays well with coconut and macadamia; the chew is fantastic.
- Mango cookie with chocolate chunks: Tart mango + dark chocolate + flaky salt = unexpectedly spot-on combo.
- Mango squares or mango bread: Easy tray bakes you can cut, wrap and freeze.
Savoury (trust the chutney)
- Dried mango chutney: Simmer rehydrated mango with vinegar, aromatics and warm spices; serve with grilled meats, cheese boards or rice bowls. It’s a guaranteed crowd-pleaser and keeps well in the fridge.
