Island
Mango Bread
2
cups flour
2
tsp baking soda
1
tsp cinnamon
1/4
tsp salt
2/3
cup sugar
3
eggs, beaten
1
cup salad oil (I prefer Hain’s safflower)
2
cups finely diced mangoes
2
tsps lemon juice
1/2
cup chopped nuts (I prefer pecans, oven roasted)
1/2
cup raisins or coconut (I prefer raisins)
When
my husband and I lived in Hawaii, mangoes were a plentiful island fruit.
People
at work would literally bring them in by the grocery sack full! One
of my
co-workers
shared this wonderfully moist recipe for making a quick bread with the
mangoes.
Peel
and dice mangoes. Add lemon juice and set aside. Sift dry ingredients
together.
Combine eggs with oil, and then add the mangoes with lemon juice.
Add
dry ingredients; mix well. Stir in nuts and raisins and/or coconut.
Grease 4
mini-loaf
pans and then sprinkle in plain bread crumbs. Pour mixture into mini
loaf
pans. Bake at 350 for approximately 40 - 45 minutes. Place
on cooling rack
when
pans come out of oven for 10-15 minutes and then turn out on cooling rack.
When
cooled, slice and serve. I like to present this bread with my butter
shells
made
from imported French butter.
