Ingredients

Scale

Fruits

  • 2 ripe mangoes (peeled, diced, and mashed)

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend for gluten-free option)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Optional: 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon or nutmeg (or other spices like cardamom, ginger)

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter or oil (vegetable or coconut oil)
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 large eggs (or 2 flax eggs for vegan version)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Optional Add-ins

  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
  • 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Mangoes: Peel and dice ripe mangoes, then mash them gently with a fork or blend briefly to create a chunky puree that adds moisture and vibrant flavor to the bread batter.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and any optional spices until evenly combined to ensure a uniform rise and balanced flavor.
  3. Beat Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and mango puree to form a fragrant, moist base.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, mixing gently just until incorporated to maintain a tender crumb. Avoid overmixing to prevent dense bread.
  5. Bake the Bread: Pour the batter into a greased loaf pan. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the bread to cool in the pan before slicing.

Notes

  • Choose ripe mangoes that are soft and fragrant for the sweetest, most flavorful bread.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep the bread tender and avoid a dense texture.
  • Test doneness with a toothpick or skewer before removing the bread from the oven.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing to ensure clean cuts and better texture.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days to maintain freshness.
