ISO: ISO Rec. for Mango macadamia coconut bread .

In Search Of:
Here's one from the Swamp (aka former Swap) Hawaiian group project>>

It doesn't specify type of nuts, but macs seem like a logical choice. It's been quite a while since I tried this, and for some reason I didn't make any notes, so I'm not sure if I used butter or oil, but knowing me, probably butter...

In order to not be quite so high in fat these days I often sub applesauce (no sugar added type) for 1/2 of the fat in quick breads, and it has worked beautifully so far.

Brooksie, I wonder if you and I both tried the same one. I tried one from a B&B...it didn't taste

anymore like mango than I or my cats would! I was so disappointed in it!

 
Here' mine sans nuts, but I don't see why you can't add them REC: Mango Bread

One thing to keep in mind - make sure your mangos are ripe. In fact, the only time I ever make mango bread is when the mangoes are past their prime, and starting to get mushy. Same idea as bananas, I think - the more overrripe, the more flavor.

I never add nuts (hubby is a nut-a-phobe), so I just add sweetened flaked coconut. If I were to add nuts, I'd probably use a combination of nuts and coconut to total 1 cup.


REC: Mango Bread

2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups sugar
3 eggs
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup butter, melted
2 cups mashed overripe mango
1 cup chopped nuts or flaked coconut,
(optional)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Sift together dry ingredients in medium bowl and set aside.

Beat eggs, oil and melted butter until blended. Add flour mixture and mango alternately, starting and ending with flour mixture. Fold in nuts or coconut, if using.

Pour into 2 greased and floured loaf pans 8"x4"). Bake at 350 degrees for 45 to 55 minutes.

Enjoy!
