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)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and set it aside.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon until well combined.

Step 3

In a large bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, light brown sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and fully incorporated.

Step 4

Gently fold the diced or mashed mangoes into the wet mixture, ensuring they are well distributed.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Fold in the shredded coconut and chopped nuts, if using, for added texture and flavor.

Step 7

Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula to ensure it bakes evenly.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

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.

Step 10

Serve the Island Mango Bread as is, or lightly toasted with a spread of butter for an extra tropical treat!
