Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup light brown sugar
- 0.5 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups ripe mangoes, finely diced or mashed
- 0.5 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 0.5 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and set it aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon until well combined.
In a large bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, light brown sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and fully incorporated.
Gently fold the diced or mashed mangoes into the wet mixture, ensuring they are well distributed.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in three parts, mixing gently after each addition until just combined. Avoid overmixing, as this can lead to a dense texture.
Fold in the shredded coconut and chopped nuts, if using, for added texture and flavor.
Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula to ensure it bakes evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
Allow the mango bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then carefully transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Serve the Island Mango Bread as is, or lightly toasted with a spread of butter for an extra tropical treat!
