Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Fresh mango (pureed)
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 0.25 cup Honey
- 0.5 cup Plain Greek yogurt (non-fat)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups Whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 unit Egg (large)
- 0.25 cup Chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a standard 9x5-inch loaf pan with non-stick spray or line with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mango puree, unsweetened applesauce, honey, Greek yogurt, egg, and vanilla extract. Whisk until well mixed.
In a separate bowl, sift together the whole wheat flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the bread light and tender.
If using, fold in the chopped walnuts for added texture and flavor.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the loaf from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer the bread to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Serve and enjoy your healthier mango bread as a snack, breakfast, or dessert!
