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)

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the mango puree, unsweetened applesauce, honey, Greek yogurt, egg, and vanilla extract. Whisk until well mixed.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, sift together the whole wheat flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.

Step 4

Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the bread light and tender.

Step 5

If using, fold in the chopped walnuts for added texture and flavor.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it out evenly.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

Serve and enjoy your healthier mango bread as a snack, breakfast, or dessert!
