Tropical Mango Banana Bread is Delicious and Easy #OurFamilyTable

September 22, 2019 Filed Under: Breads

This Tropical Mango Banana Bread is a delicious, but simple, twist on ordinary banana bread.

 

I got this recipe years ago from my sister-in-law, Melanie and it became an instant family favorite.

The dried mangoes not only add color, but incredible sweetness. And there is one more secret ingredient: a bit of grated lemon zest! I would never have thought to add it, but it adds a subtle citrus note that perfectly complements the other ingredients.

Print Recipe Pin Recipe

Ingredients
  

  • 1 3/4 cup all purpose flour
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/3 cup shortening
  • 2/3 cups sugar
  • 3/4 teaspoons grated lemon zest
  • 1 to 1 1/2 cup mashed bananas about 2-3 bananas
  • 1 or 2 eggs if you have 1 cup of bananas use 2 eggs, 1 1/2 cup bananas use 1 egg
  • 1/3 cup dried mangoes chopped

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease one 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 inch bread pan (or two smaller ones)
  • In a medium bowl combine flour, baking powder and salt with a whisk.
  • In a larger bowl, beat shortening, sugar and lemon zest together until creamy. Beat in eggs and bananas.
  • Add the flour in 2 equal parts beating until smooth. Add mangoes.
  • Pour into prepared bread pan and bake in preheated oven until brown and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean, approximately 40 minutes for small pans and 60 minutes for regular bread pan.

Notes

The amount of eggs and bananas may seem a bit confusing as listed in the recipe. You need more eggs if you have less banana and less eggs if you have more bananas for the moisture content. I made it with two bananas, which was about one cup, so I needed two eggs.

Until next time, happy eating.
